About Bee Ridge & Our Pastor
Welcome to Bee Ridge Church! A place to belong, just as you are!
We hope you join us for Worship Service each Sunday at 10:30 am for uplifting music and a thoughtful, Christ-entered message. Our goal is to provide hope to everyone by proclaiming God's love to the world through His Son, Jesus. Come, see and hear for yourself the promises God has made to us and the joys that await those who trust and place their faith in Him.
"That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is none else." - I Kings 8:60
