About Location

Quote from: Woody Walls, Associate Pastor, Beach Road Church

 

“There’s something unmistakably special about Southport, North Carolina. It’s a coastal town where the pace slows just enough for meaningful conversations, deep relationships, and Kingdom impact. At Beach Road Church, we get to serve a community that’s anchored in history yet alive with possibility—families, retirees, young adults, and longtime locals who are hungry for the truth of God’s Word. It’s here, in this gem on the Carolina coast, that we’ve seen the Gospel move powerfully through faithful teaching, missional living, and the simple beauty of life together. Southport may feel off the beaten path, but God is using it to reach far beyond.”
