About The Church At The Bay And Open Door Food Pantry
CHURCH HISTORY The Church at the Bay, formerly South Walton Baptist Church, located at 24388 US Highway 331, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, began in 1996. It was started by people who believed they were acting under the leadership of God to establish the church. It has gone through several changes since it began. At the time of this writing only one of the Charter members is still alive but the church has continued to change as God so desired. Around 2018, God led the members to begin the Open Door Food Pantry. This ministry of providing food to those in need has grown to the point of serving over 1500 people a week. The Food Pantry does not seek any qualifications before helping those who say they are hungry. We merely act as the hands and feet of Jesus and serve those who come. History
