A Coastal Comfort
980 W Beach Blvd, Gulf Shore
We are staying at a new house this year. Above is a picture and link to a map with directions. This house does not have direct access to the beach, so you may consider bringing a wagon if you have one. The beach access is .03 miles to the west, about a 6 min walk.
Fun Fact: this house has a private pool right outside on the main deck. Whoo Hoo!

FYI: When you click on the directions link you may see a much different house depicted. Don't be alarmed! This house is new and Google has not updated their map. The house is directly across the road from Surf Side Shores and The Edgewater.
Psalm 19:9-10
"The words of the Lord are true...they are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb."

It's time to pack your bags for the Beach Retreat!
It’s HERE! Our 2025 Beach Retreat is NEXT WEEK—September 18-22! 😊 The Women’s Ministry Team has been really busy getting ready for this annual getaway and we’re very excited. Our prayer is for all of our souls to be comforted and refreshed as we come before the King remembering he has given us an incredible gift of salvation—Jesus Christ the living Word. Sisters, let's taste and see why the Word is "sweeter than honey and better than gold" and experience together the sweetness of our relationship with God through his Word.
As we ready ourselves, here are a few things we wanted to touch base with you about:
