I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased at how low the tuition is (again, single parent). I have really enjoyed the Sunday sermons and the team of pastors; they are wonderfully nice and engaging. The messages from scripture and the life of Christ are down to earth and applyable to my everyday life. I cannot sing a note even in a bucket or the shower but really love the music performed by their large band...very uplifting.

Ocean Isle has two beach services during the summer months. They both meet at 8:30, so it can be a…read morebit confusing. Do your HW before attending. One, held on the west side of the island, is held by Shallotte Presbyterian Church. It needs to be mentioned that this is a PCUSA. And is it ever! My family has attended this one for years, as the messages were relatively predicable, being Bible centered in nature. In the post covid years, there was a significant shift away from the gospel to social issues. The pro LGBTQ+, pro women's lib, social gospel, pro tolerance of all things messaging was on full display. We finally had enough. This year we attended the Ocean Isle Beach Chapel beach service held close to the pier. There was no wasted time. The speaker was introduced and proceeded to preach for almost 45 minutes. He was a passionate and competent speaker who preached Jesus as our greatest need, and even closed with an alter call. It was apparent that he was a conservative on social issues. I was thankful for the alternative.

In my experience this is not a church walking the path of Christ, or encouraging believers to…read moredeeper relationship through faith and trust. There are several public stories of the financial path of this place in Google, and I guess I would point out the simple nature that is reflected in this scripture from John 15:2 "He[God] cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunesa so that it will be even more fruitful." While I have no judgement of the endgame, my observation is that much has been cut off in the present. My personal experience here is that of abusive language and excessive metaphor thrown about by the head pastor in my direction. I received verbal coercion to align my convictions with their opinions. In the process of trying to 'mediate' a difference in opinion between myself and the mother of my children, the pastor told me directly that I did not "deserve" my son and daughter. It was at that point that I realized the coercive forces were not in line with scripture, my conscience, or the goal of peacemaking held out by Christ and his words. Whatever good intentions religious people may have, it is not the way of Christ to be divisive, or coercive with guilt as the main tool. I pray you do not have this experience here, but that you are filled with the spirit of the living God for worship, relationship, and positive change in the world.

For 27 years have been faithfully serving this community through many ups and downs. I am proud and privileged to say I have been a part of it all! Come see what God is doing today!

The bold, witness that the preacher and his family project inspires each attendee to focus on Jesus and what He did for each of us on the cross, and reject the corrupt values this world pressures us to join. Thank you.
