We love doing life with sandy feet, salty skin. In all this, Beachside Church has a heart that shows no partiality but welcomes all from all walks of life. We strive to live out love everywhere we go and everyone we come in contact with.
We believe that God has called Beachside to enjoy, love, obey and serve Him. By doing this we represent Him to others and others to Him, as we live out the gospel message of reconciliation to God and to one another.
“To be people so full of the Holy Spirit that we see God completely transform Palm Beach, Gold Coast and many other communities around the world”
