**Note: due to COVID, we have temporarily suspended all in-person activities.
WELCOME! We worship every Sunday at 10:00 am and we'd love for you to join us. You can find us online on our YouTube channel or our Facebook page, or you can join us at the church for in-person worship - the guidelines are below.
We also have a weekly prayer service on Facebook - Thursdays at 7:00 pm.
Guidelines for on-site worship:
We worship outside under the portico.
Dress is casual. You'll find some men in jackets and ties and women in dresses or skirts, and some in comfortable slacks and shirts. Jeans and t-shirts, shorts and flip flops are fine, too. The important thing is your presence, not your appearance.
We celebrate communion the first Sunday of each month, also on Christmas Eve and on Maundy Thursday. The sacrament is open to all. The pastor will always give instructions so you'll know what to do.
WHO WE ARE
Orange Beach Presbyterian Church is a member of the denomination called the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), often called PC(USA). Presbyterians are distinctive in two major ways: they adhere to a pattern of religious thought known as Reformed theology and a form of government that stresses the active, representational leadership of both ministers and church members.
Presbyterian churches are connectional, meaning they work together with other churches and bodies to do Christ's work in ministry, mission, service, education, and government. Churches are clustered in geographical areas called presbyteries and synods. OBPC is one of the 21 churches that make up the Presbytery of South Alabama. Presbyteries are grouped in larger clusters to form synods. We are a part of the Synod of Living Waters. Every other year, the denomination holds a General Assembly, where commissioners gather to worship, study, debate, and conduct business. Clergy and laity are represented in equal numbers.
Presbyterians have a constitutional form of government. The Presbyterian constitution consists of the Book of Order and the Book of Confessions.
