Becoming a Debt-Free Church: Each Gift Spreads the Light.
We dream of becoming a debt-free church in order to transition from paying interest on the loan to growing ministries. Becoming debt-free is an act of good stewardship that will grow our reserves for future building improvements and enable budget flexibility, further extending the Light of Christ throughout our community and God’s world.

September Mission of the Month
Anchor House
Anchor House is a maritime ministry located right inside SeaPort Manatee. We have been serving international seafarers, local dockworkers, and port staff since 1993. Every day, ships from around the world dock just a few hundred yards from our front door. The international crews who arrive have often been away from home for months, exhausted, isolated, and thousands of miles from their families. We believe that everyone whose lives we touch deserves to be seen, valued, and cared for, especially the men and women who spend months at sea to keep our global economy moving.Each year, Anchor House reaches more than 10,000 seafarers from more than 70 nations. In addition to serving seafarers, we also care for the local dockworkers and port staff who keep the port running day in and day out 24/7. Our center is open weekdays as a safe, welcoming place for meals, fellowship, and connection.Our mission is simple: to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of international seafarers and the SeaPort Manatee community.We do that in very practical ways, through hospitality, transportation, free Wi-Fi so crew members can connect with loved ones back home, worship services, and one-on-one care. Sometimes that looks like a ride to the store, sometimes a quiet place to rest, and sometimes just a listening ear.As we near the end of summer, Anchor House is preparing for a very busy fall and winter. As the year progresses, we look forward to many events Anchor House will host, and I hope you will consider joining us. On September 18, we will co-host our third annual Clay Shoot at Fish Hawk Sporting Clays. At the time of writing, we have over 25 teams signed up, totaling approximately 100+ participants. On October 3, we will host our annual Golf Outing at the River Club. You can sign up on our website www.anchorhousemission.com/golf. We are also excited to announce our second annual Christmas Dinner Cruise on December 3, and more information will be available soon, so mark your calendars.We sincerely thank you for your support over the years. Your generosity enables us to continue God's work locally at SeaPort Manatee and internationally among seafarers. We are grateful for a remarkable year and eagerly anticipate an incredible 2027.
