Sunday School / Children and Youth Activities
Under 12s:
Vacation Bible School
Each summer, children 4 years old through 5th grade gather to learn about God through a variety of crafts, puppets, skits, music, Bible study, and service projects at Vacation Bible School. The Rising Women’s Circle of Presbyterian Women lead the congregation in hosting this event for our children and any neighbors, visitors, and friends from the surrounding community. There are always lots of opportunities to participate as a volunteer and we have a great time!
Children’s Worship
Children’s Worship is a special worship experience for young children. At the 11 a.m. service, children 4-7 begin worship in the sanctuary with their parents. After the Passing of the Peace, children come forward for the children’s sermon and then are led to a classroom for Children’s Church. There they sing, pray, listen to a special Bible story told with beautiful wooden figures, and respond with art and other activities. We offer Children’s Worship at the 11 a.m. Sunday service only.
On fifth Sundays of the month and on a few special occasions, we have one Sunday worship service at 9:30 a.m. On those Sundays there is no Children’s Church time so kids are invited to stay in worship or attend the nursery for the remainder of the service.

Meals on Wheels
Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church Meals on Wheels prepares and delivers approximately 30 meals to people on the island and across the bridge. We usually prepare this meal on the second Saturday of each month and we’re humbly grateful for the opportunity to serve in our community and thankful for God’s guidance and inspiration. While we depend on a core group each month, there is always a need for the help of other congregation members who wish to be involved on an as-needed basis, e.g., providing a side dish to complement the main entrée, providing homemade bread, providing transportation to deliver the meals, etc. Thank you to the drivers, cooks and kitchen workers who spend part of their Saturday mornings providing this ministry. Please contact the church office or speak with any Meals on Wheels volunteer if you are interested in helping: Sally Hillbeck, Bettie Slusser, Mary Lou Wilson, Cherry Hershey, Harriet Owsley, Gordon Moiles, Betty Safrit, Tootsie Stevens, Wanda and Larry Bell, Don and Judy McMahon.

Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church History
History of Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church
With the coming of World War II and the shipyards in Wilmington, and more and more people coming to reside in our area, many residents of Carolina Beach began to feel that their worship to God and service to Jesus Christ could best be expressed by the presence of a Presbyterian Church in Carolina Beach. They began to meet in different homes to talk and pray about it. Consequently, on September 1, 1943, a group of seven met with Dr. G.A. Wilson to prepare a petition. With some thirty more names added, the document was presented to Wilmington Presbytery; and the petition to organize a new church was granted on October 12, 1943.
On November 7, 1943, a commission appointed by the Presbytery met with our people in Carolina Beach Town Hall. After a sermon by Dr. Wilson, Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church was organized with 23 charter members. Dr. William Crowe served as moderator. Four elders were elected, ordained, and installed. Shortly after the formal organization of the church, three lots were purchased in the first block of Charlotte Avenue, where the first block of the sanctuary was laid on July 12, 1945. The cornerstone was laid on December 9, 1945. Building materials were scarce, but the new church was finally ready for occupancy on March 17, 1946.
During the 50's, 60's and 70's the church saw much growth. With the help of the Presbytery, the church purchased property on Highway 421, just south of Snow's Cut Bridge, and built the facility we now occupy. A ground-breaking ceremony was held August 26, 1984; and the new building was dedicated on November 10, 1985. A sudden influx of retirees to the area, the building boom of the early 1980's and the church's new visibility contributed to a growth spurt which lasted several years. The church building on Lake Park Boulevard has afforded us the opportunity to serve our growing community, sponsoring Scout Troop 210, health clinics, Hospice training, parenting classes, Al-Anon, and other community needs, as we have continued to try to carry out the purposes for which this church was established. In 2011, the church under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Keith Grogg completed a major building project, adding a new fellowship hall, commercial-grade kitchen and many new classrooms to ensure that Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church is well prepared to meet the needs of a growing church in the twenty-first century. Present Identity
