Who We Are
At Seaside Chapel, we are a grace-driven church for a grace-needing world. Our heart is simple: preach the Word of God, love people deeply, and create a place where everyone can encounter the transforming presence of Jesus.We Welcome Everyone
Whether you’ve walked with God for decades, you’re just beginning to ask questions, or you’re visiting while on vacation at Carolina Beach. We feel called to reach those who are lost, hurting, or searching for purpose. We believe God’s plan for you is good, and we want to walk with you as you discover it.
Our Mission
is to live out the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37–39) by loving God and loving people, and to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20) by making disciples who impact the world for the Kingdom of God.

How We Worship
Worship at Seaside is vibrant, Spirit-filled, and rooted in the Bible. Psalm 100 calls us to “enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise,” and that’s exactly what we do. Our services blend contemporary praise songs with timeless hymns, all led by our worship team with a heart to glorify Jesus.
We believe worship is more than music – it’s a posture of the heart. In our gatherings, you might see people raising their hands in surrender, praying quietly, clapping joyfully, or reflecting in stillness. However you respond, we invite you to engage authentically and biblically, allowing the Holy Spirit to move in your life. Our desire is that every generation, from children to seniors, experiences God’s presence in a real and life-changing way.
Biblical Truth
We teach the uncompromised Word of God.
Authentic Worship
We worship God in Spirit and in truth.
Loving Community
We are family, caring for one another in practical ways.
Kingdom Impact
We live and serve with eternal purpose.

“My prayer is that Seaside would be a church where the lost are found, the hurting are healed, and the believer is equipped. Not just within our four walls, but spilling into Carolina Beach and beyond – a grace-driven church for a grace-needing world.”
– Pastor Jerry Vess
