Pensacola Beach Community Church is a small, but active church.
We serve not only the beach community, but surrounding areas. We have a unique cross-section of people from all walks of life. Most are fulltime residents, some winter visitors, and some are vacationers.
All are considered family. Our average attendance is around 135. We have an active youth program, as well as Sunday School for children and adults. Our main focus is to provide an oasis of compassion and faith through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Don't let the fancy buildings fool you. We encourage our attendees to "Come as you are!" Flip-Flops are as common as dress shoes!

"It's church on the beach, but with air conditioning!"

A Short History:

The Pensacola Beach Community Church was organized in December, 1976. Soon afterwards, it became affiliated with the United Church of Christ (a union of the Congregational Christian and Evangelical & Reformed Churches).

The first meetings were held in a small cinderblock building owned by the Woman's Club of Pensacola Beach which was later deeded to the Church. The building eventually became the Fellowship Hall and Offices until it was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The new Fellowship Hall was dedicated on August 9th, 2009. The present church building was erected in 1991 and has served the community in many ways.

Our identity goes back to the Puritans and Separatists in England who eventually came to America and continued that identity. We claim the meanings imbedded in the names of those units which make up the United Church of Christ:

• We see ourselves as part of the body of Christ ...

• We follow in the tradition of the Protestant Reformers ...

• We are an autonomous church and regard the congregation as the basic unit of the United Church of Christ. Our mission begins here and moves outward.

• We believe our task is to share the Good News of God's love as we identify that love in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ as he went about caring for and touching the lives of those with whom he came into contact.
