On Sunday mornings, middle and high school students are welcome to join our services with their parents. During the week our 6th-12th graders meet every Wednesday night at the Hub (3233 Burnt Mill Dr. Suite 1) from 7 to 8:15 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. They hear God's Word, engage in worship, play games, breakout into small groups with students their own age.
Saltbox Church is a diverse community from a variety of church backgrounds. Since we are a beach town, you may not see many suits and ties. Many of our guests are comfortable in business casual attire; however, you can expect to be welcomed no matter what!
Saltbox is a multigenerational community church with ties to both traditional and modern forms. You can expect a blending of that each week in our services. We generally start the services with worship at 10am. You are likely to hear modern contemporary worship music performed by our live worship team, and you may come on a week when we are doing folk versions of classic hymns. Every Sunday we want to provide you with an opportunity to express and bring your offering of worship to Jesus. We also incorporate some traditional Christian elements into our services including: monthly communion, scripture readings, the Lord's prayer, Advent, Lent, Palm Sunday celebrations, and reciting various Christian creeds and anthems. Each service is designed to help you shift your focus from yourself, and place it on King Jesus!
After a time of worship, we focus on the teaching of the Word of God. Pastor Michael Mattis generally preaches through a new chapter of the Bible each week. Bring your highlighter and a way to take notes! Pastor Michael or one of our teaching team will open up God's Word with us, and help us read and understand the truth of scripture. You can expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of the things of God, but challenged to live a surrendered life.
