Fall Sermon Series: We Believe
September 12 - November 21

What do Christians believe? Why do we believe it?
How then should we live?

This Fall we will explore the essential beliefs of the Christian Faith.
Using Holy Scripture and the Nicene Creed as our guides, we will examine the unique claims of the Christian faith and the life each Christian is called to live in response to the grace we’ve all received through our Lord Jesus Christ.
It all starts this Sunday. You don’t want to miss it!

​We Believe: Sermon #2

​​We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty.

​We Believe: Sermon #1
What does it mean to believe?

Coming up this Sunday:
​We Believe III
​
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made.

​We are convinced that life with Jesus is better than any other kind of life.

Fr. John Wallace, Rector

At Apostles By-the-Sea we love Jesus and we want everyone to know the love and joy of living life in fellowship with him. We are convinced that life with Jesus is better than any other kind of life.

​Over and over in the Gospels we read about people who meet Jesus and he is never who they expected him to be. And when they meet him, something happens, something changes. People are never quite the same after they encounter Jesus. Some are fed. Some are healed. Some are forgiven. Some get mad! Some are known more deeply than ever before. Some are even raised from the dead!  No one stays the same.

Awesome Acolytes!

During his earthly ministry, Jesus called people to himself and then sent them out to share his love with the world. These ‘sent ones’ are called Apostles - a word that means those who have been sent. That’s who we hope to be: People gathered together to worship God, to be nourished by his Word and Sacraments, and then sent out with his life, love, and grace into this world. 

That's our prayer for anyone who comes to one of our services. And we invite you to come - whether you live here full time or are here for vacation! And when you do come, we pray that you will have an encounter with Jesus. And no matter who you expect him to be, we hope that he will surprise you and challenge you. 

So come be fed and healed and forgiven!
You are welcome here!

ARDF: What does it mean to be Anglican?

Missions and Outreach:
Unleashing Heaven at Apostles By-the-Sea

At Apostles By-the-Sea, we strive to be good stewards of all that God has given us. From the beginning, our goal has been to give generously to those ministries that make a difference. Giving generously is one of the ways we worship God, love one another, and unleash Heaven in this world! 

We are a young Church, funded entirely by your generosity. Our goal as a Church is to one day give at least 50% of all that we receive to missions and ministries that are actively unleashing Heaven here on Earth.  Thank you for giving generously! 

We support a wide variety of ministries, both local and global, who share the love of Christ while bringing transformation to communities in need. These are some of the ministries we support:

Young Life South Walton
Inviting kids to follow Christ, caring for them regardless of their response, and changing lives in the process.

International Justice Mission

Kule Joram & Biira Roset
Joram was kidnapped by bandits and forced to be a child soldier at the age of nine when his village was attacked and his parents were crippled. Fr. John met him after his escape and now Apostles By-the-Sea makes it possible for Joram and his sister, Roset, to attend school.

Let's do it again in In 2021!

Let's read the Bible together along with Nicky Gumbel using his Bible in One Year app or web page.

Last year, many of us read through the Bible and it was a blessing to all who did it! 

Let's read it together again this year!

Nicky Gumbel is the Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton - an Anglican Church in London - and is also the creator of the Alpha Course which has been used by God to lead many thousands of people into a saving relationship with Jesus.

​Children
​at Apostles By-the-Sea 

To the parents of young children...

​We love your kids!

If you come to Church with your young children, we welcome you and thank you for making the effort to be here!

​We believe that the way we welcome children in Church shapes the way they respond to our Heavenly Father and to Jesus, our Lord. So let them know that they are at home in this liturgical gathering. Let them know that they belong and that God loves them and wants them to be here!

If desired, a nursery is available for our littlest children.
