Our Story
IT's all about Jesus!
Our church was founded in 1950, making it the first church in Orange Beach! Much has changed since our founding in 1950, like changing our name to Orange Beach Community Church from First Baptist Orange Beach, but one thing that hasn’t changed is our goal. Our goal since our conception and forever will be to grow closer to Christ and to each other.
In 2017, our church building caught fire and destroyed the sanctuary. But this is also a testament to Jesus, for that was just a building; we are the Church! Reconstruction has hit many roadblocks, but we are not half a church because of it; we’re a complete church, ready to serve Christ and our community as we have been doing all these years.
More than a building!
Our story is your story
In reality, our story is no different from any other Christian’s story. There are many things that are important in this life, but the chief importance is the gospel: Jesus, in His perfection, died on a cross for us imperfect people so that we too can be raised from the dead like He did on the third day. Or, in short, you can have all this world; give me Jesus.
