Community In Christ

Faith. Hope. Love.

What is the Mission of the Church?

The mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

What are your core beliefs?

With most other Christian denominations, our most foundational document is the Bible.  Scripture "reveals the Word of God so far as it is necessary for our salvation," explains our Confession of Faith.  The statements of faith by the early church, such as the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, are also recognized as statements of our faith.

What is your Sunday church service like?

Our standard service follows a traditional format including Hymns, Responsive Readings, Congregational Prayer, Scripture Reading, and a Pastor's Message.  Monthly we will share Communion. We are light on the use of new technology and still sing from the hymnal with a piano as accompaniment 

How / When can I visit the church?

First time visitors are welcome for any Sunday service.  Just show up and please come as you are.   We think you will find us a warm, welcoming group who will make you quickly feel at home.  An address, map and service times are shown on the Find Us page.
About us image
We have deep roots in our community since being established in 1884 as the first church in the area. The names of early church members are easily recognizable as the current street names throughout the Mulat area including Bernath, Bell, McMillan and Tinsley.  The original church was shared between several denominations but eventually became a Methodist church.  Consistent with the times, a "circuit rider" pastor would visit once a month by horse and buggy.  Our current location was established during the Great Depression in conjunction with a school.  The sanctuary was built in 1960 with the exterior brick donated by the Edwards family in memory of Mae Edwards who had been active in the church since the early 1920's.

Having started as a small "country church", we now enter the third decade of the 21st century to minister to a quickly growing southern Santa Rosa County. Although we have members who live throughout Santa Rosa County,  our focus is to foster a community of Christians in the quickly growing greater Mulat area including the Bayside, Bernath, Avalon Beach, Moors and Bell Lane communities. Our congregation includes singles, young families, empty nesters, and even seniors in their 90's . We include multi-generational locals and brand new residents. All are equally important and welcome.

We share a love for Christ and a desire to be part of, and to serve our community.
