A word from the Pastor on our worship services, for those considering a visit to Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church:

Worship services in our church are open to everyone--of our faith, of any faith, of no faith. It is our sincere hope that you will find in our Presbyterian worship something that will give you strength for living your life and serving the world in a positive way, strength which comes from our firm belief that Jesus Christ is the full earthly expression of the Creator God, and it is an expression of the most profound love. Our worship services are rooted in the Reformed ideal that the churches of the New Testament showed a pure way of being the Church together. 

Our worship is dignified but personal, engaged with today but not typically of the "contemporary" movement in worship. We are Democrats, Republicans and independents; we are conservatives and liberals of every stripe; some dress formally for worship, some dress casually. We warmly invite you to join us for any of our regular or occasional worship services. Browse our website or give us a call if you have any questions!

The time in the sanctuary before worship is a time to prepare our hearts and turn our thoughts to God. Worshipers are invited to greet the people nearby with the peace of Christ, and then prepare for holy worship in silence.

All expressions made in worship are meant to focus worshippers’ attention toward God. Solemn silence and spoken Amens, which focus our praise on God, are two appropriate responses to these expressions.

We love our children! We have a rocker in back of the sanctuary, and a nursery down the hall staffed for every service. Parents may drop off their children before the service, or may bring them there any time during worship if needed. An usher will help direct you, and signs are posted in the hallway. Please let us enjoy your child's presence as long as possible, while remembering those around you who may have difficulty hearing the service. For more on Welcoming Children in Worship, click here to be taken to the brochure which is available in the pew racks and which you are invited to take home with you.

In order to maintain an atmosphere of worship, please turn off cell phones and refrain from flash photography or other activity that may detract attention from the sacred nature of the service.

Please recycle unwanted bulletins and inserts by placing them in the “recycled paper” bins in the narthex.

CBPC seeks to be an access-friendly church for everyone:

• Large-print bulletins are available each Sunday; ask an usher as you enter the sanctuary.
• Individualized devices for the hearing-impaired are available for use in worship; ask an usher or see Bill Harris or Scott Woodard.
• Wheelchair access is available via sidewalks on the sides and back of the building, with a ramp leading up to the front door of the office building.
• A wheelchair is available on the premises if needed.
• We try to print all documents in easily readable fonts. Please let us know if, and how, this can be improved for you!
• A nursery is available during worship each Sunday, and by prior request for other services. 
• A rocking chair is also placed in a discrete corner of the sanctuary, for those who would like to remain in the sanctuary with baby.

Do you have a musical gift you would like to share in worship or other church programs? Please speak with the Pastor or the Director of Music. Strings of the guitar or violin families, brass, percussion, piano, organ, voice--we may have a place for your talent in our church.
