We are a small, welcoming church family on the shores of Ochlockonee Bay.
Rooted in faith, grounded in community, and guided by love, we seek to be a place where everyone can grow closer to God and to one another.

Whether you’ve attended church your whole life or are simply curious, you are welcome here.

At Ochlockonee Bay UMC, relationships matter. We gather each week for worship, prayer, music, and fellowship — and we genuinely care for one another.

Our church is traditional in worship style, relaxed in atmosphere, and deeply committed to kindness, compassion, and service.

We believe church should feel like family — a place where you are known, supported, and loved.

As part of the United Methodist tradition, we believe in God’s grace, the love of Jesus Christ, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We believe faith is lived out through worship, prayer, Scripture, service, and caring for others.

Above all, we believe God’s love is for everyone — and that there is a place for everyone in His family.

Established in 1973, Ochlockonee Bay United Methodist Church has been a spiritual home for generations of families in our coastal community.

Through seasons of change, growth, and renewal, our mission has remained the same: to share God’s love and serve our neighbors with open hearts.

Today, we continue that legacy — welcoming new faces while honoring the faithful foundation built before us.

Pastor Cherryl Mixon-Cruce leads our congregation with warmth, compassion, and a deep love for people. She is passionate about creating a welcoming space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported in their faith journey.

If you visit, you’ll likely be greeted personally — and you’ll quickly discover her genuine heart for ministry and community.

Whether you are searching for a church home, returning after time away, or simply exploring faith, you are welcome at Ochlockonee Bay UMC.

Join us on Sundays at 9:00 AM for worship, followed by fellowship and brunch.

We would love to meet you.
