Gulf Coast Services
Gulf Coast Christian Church meets every Sunday for Worship Service. We offer 9:15 am and 11:00 am services. Both are identical services so you can pick the time that works best for you.
Our church is located at 590 E. Burgess Rd, Pensacola, FL. To find us, you can head West off Davis Highway near the Coffee Guy.
Alternatively, we do also offer our services online through Facebook, YouTube, or here on our website. We’d love for you to join us!
What to Expect
When you arrive at Gulf Coast Christian Church, we want you to feel comfortable. Feel free to dress casually. You can park anywhere you’d like; however, we do have spots reserved near the front door for new guests.
Head to our Welcome Tent and one of our volunteers will be ready to assist you, answer your questions, or even help register your kids for age-appropriate ministries. Learn more about our Children & Students here. To save time checking in, you may pre-register for our nursery and kids programming, here.

Our mission at Gulf Coast Christian Church is to honor Jesus by being a church that goes for the unreached, connects to make disciples and sends them to impact their world.
At Gulf Coast Christian Church, we own this mission to be a church that is for the Pensacola area! Our goal is to passionately GO and win more people to Jesus through serving our neighbors, to CONNECT with believers in small groups, and to SEND disciples to impact the world. By staying committed to our mission, we believe we can win the Gulf Coast to Jesus.
Our Beliefs
ABOUT GOD
God is the only God and is the Creator of everything. (Genesis 1; John 1:1-3)
ABOUT JESUS
Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was born among us, was crucified on a cross, and was raised from death by God. Jesus Christ is our personal Lord and Savior, forgives us of our wrongs, and is the leader of our lives. (John 1:14; 3:16-18)
ABOUT GOD’S FORGIVENESS
God’s forgiveness comes only through Christ and is a gift from Him because of His grace and love. (2 Corinthians 5:14; Ephesians 2:4)
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit and is present and working in the daily lives of Christians to direct us and help us live a Christ-like life. (John 16:5-16; Romans 8:9-11)
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Word and is the authority and guide for all that we say and all that we do. (Psalm 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
ABOUT SALVATION
Salvation is not something that can be earned. It is a free gift from God provided by Jesus’ death on the cross. It is available to everyone who accepts Jesus by faith, repents, confesses, and is baptized, as taught and practiced by Jesus Himself, by immersion in water symbolizing His own death, burial, and resurrection as well as the believer’s commitment to follow Him. (Mark 1:9-13; Romans 6:1-11)
ABOUT THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH
Christ is the head of the church. We submit ourselves and all our activities to His will as we are led by the Bible and His Spirit. (Philippians 2:9-11; Ephesians 5:23)
ABOUT CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
Because immersed Christians are united in a dynamic relationship with Christ, they are also united with one another and therefore enjoy the privilege of church membership.
(1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
ABOUT COMMUNION
As was the custom of the church in the New Testament, the communion of the Lord’s Supper is shared weekly among followers of Jesus Christ. (Acts 20:7; Luke 22:7-22)
ABOUT THE RESURRECTION
Resurrection from the dead to eternal life with Christ is promised to all Christians.
(1 Corinthians 15:50-58)
