Merry Christmas, Beach Church! Our Christmas Eve message this year dives into the incredible story of Jesus' birth and the people God chose to be a part of it. Mary, a humble teenage girl, said “yes” to God's plan, and Joseph, a young man, trusted God and did the right thing despite the challenges. The first to hear the good news weren't kings or celebrities—they were shepherds, the least important in society, showing that God's love is for everyone. Even the wise men, who seemed far from God, were invited to worship the newborn King. At the heart of it all is Jesus, who came to bring hope, peace, and salvation to the world. Listen in to know how this story changes everything for us today!
|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry referred to the passage he shared during this year's Vision Sunday. Similar to the friends of the paralyzed man in Mark 2:1-12, we're willing to do whatever it takes to point people to Jesus. In hopes of best serving our community, Pastor Jerry shared that we'll be entering this next season of ministry as an independent church. Pastor Jerry walked us through what the last several years have looked like, and how our leadership team has prayerfully made the decision to join the Foundry Network. We then closed out the morning by ordaining our Senior Ministry Team! All this to say, Celebration Sunday was an amazing reflection of the heart of Beach Church. We can't wait to continue walking in the fullness that God has for us. Thank you to everyone who has been Faithful to the Mission over the last year - none of this would be possible without you!|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

He is Risen, Beach Church! What an exciting opportunity we have to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! This week, Pastor Jerry walked through the book of Acts, as the early church referred back to the whole basis of our faith. Jesus died for you and I, and then three days later, He rose again. This, “But God”, moment is the perfect reminder that even in the midst of our darkest circumstances, we serve a victorious and resurrected king!

The final week of our AGÁPĒ: Serve Like Jesus series was a great reminder of the heart behind serving! Just as a city on a hill cannot be hidden, a Christian that loves others and serves them will show Jesus' light in a tangible way. We've been learning all about "being", Beach Church. As we continue to do that, let's take a step into serving others in Jesus' name!
Beach Church exists to Reach, Raise Up, and Release followers of Jesus who change the world, and week one of our Let's Go series is all about reaching! The heartbeat of our church is to bring Jesus to those who don't yet know Him. After all, Jesus' heart has always been for the lost, as the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 perfectly illustrates. While the Pharisees only saw Jesus eating with a “notorious sinner”, Jesus saw a man who was desperate for life change. And after this encounter with Jesus, Zacchaeus' life was transformed!As we begin with prayer, listen to others' stories, eat with them, serve them, and share our story with them; we create more opportunities for our neighbors, family members, and co-workers to encounter the life change that comes through Jesus!
During this final week of our 5 Pursuits series we're highlighting the importance of generosity in our lives. Here at Beach Church, we seek to pursue a lifestyle of generosity as an expression of gratitude for all that Jesus has done for us. Like so many things in our faith, it's about perspective. The more gratitude we have for the things and people in our lives, the more generous our hearts become. Let's live a life that reflects the generous heart of God!
This week we talked about what it means to serve others as members of the kingdom of God. Here at Beach Church, we seek to pursue a lifestyle of serving as the most authentic expression of Jesus' love to the world. Jesus came to the world to serve others and did so in a way that we could never repay. This lifestyle of serving doesn't necessarily look all that different than our everyday lives. It can simply be us asking ourselves the following question, “How can I help?”
Here at Beach Church, we seek to pursue community through a circle of believers where we can grow stronger in our walk of faith. Being in relationship with others is vital to our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. As we get plugged into life groups and find community, we're able to lean on people during times of stress and grow, not only in our relationship with Jesus together but also with each other. Sometimes in that community, we'll be challenged, but that's a good thing! After all, how will learn to love, serve, and support others, if we never allow others into our lives.
This week we wanted to take a moment to recognize the high school seniors in our church, that next generation of Jesus followers, who will be embarking on new, post-high school adventures. Beach Church exists to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world, and as this week's message points out, it's up to us, the Church to raise up that next generation so that we can release them into the world. We're left with the reality that if the Church is going to survive, we must be investing in the next generation, so how we're pouring into and raising up that next generation is an essential part of our own faith journey and the journeys of generations of Jesus followers to come.
This special standalone Mother's Day message features Pastor Jerry and a panel of four incredible mothers from our Beach Church community. These ladies spent time talking through topics of what it means to raise children in a Christ-centered home. Derived from Parenting Beyond Your Capacity, the topics focused on things like making faith personal, widening the circle of Godly influence, and creating faith-focused rhythms in the lives of our children as we raise up the next generation of Jesus followers.
