An Equipping Church.
Welcome! We’re thrilled you’re here.
About
Named after the five bridges—Hathaway, West Bay, Grand Lagoon, Lake Powell/Inlet Beach, and Choctawatchee/Freeport— spanning across the PCB area, 5 Bridges officially launched in May 2021. Our church is a local body of believers who recognizes and affirms God's sovereignty by prioritizing expository preaching, intentional discipleship, and devotion to the whole counsel of God.
Mission
Scripture charges all believers to “not neglect the gathering” (Heb. 10:25), and we are solely committed to equipping the local body to be deeply rooted in Scripture so they can, in turn, share the truth of the gospel with the world. We pursue this mission through adhering to expositional preaching, fostering intentional intergenerational discipleship, and intentional community engagement.
Culture
5 Bridges is a blend of traditional and contemporary, including members who are military families, snowbirds, and transplants representing diverse life stages. We are a casual community who does life a block away from the beach, often celebrating baptisms and fellowshipping by the emerald waters. At 5 Bridges, you will find a welcoming and friendly community who elevates the authority of Scripture and is unified in edifying, protecting, and growing authentic disciples in the Word of God.

One of our core values we uphold surrounds intentional discipleship.
We believe that discipleship is not just a solitary journey but a shared experience within intergenerational community.
Our Small Group Fellowships, Home Groups, and MDWK Wednesday-night gatherings provide invaluable opportunities for deeper connection and spiritual growth with other believers. Through these intimate gatherings, you'll find a supportive and nurturing environment where you can engage in meaningful conversations, study God's Word together, and sharpen one another's faith.
