Building Bridges,
Sharing Truth.
Welcome! We’re thrilled you’re here.
About
5 Bridges officially launched in May 2021. Named after the five bridges spanning across the Freeport and Southport communities in the Panama City Beach area,
5 Bridges Church is a gathering of believers that recognizes and affirms God's sovereignty by prioritizing expository preaching, intentional discipleship, and devotion to the whole counsel of God.
Mission
We are big believers in the local church and are devoted to equipping the local Body of believers to be saturated in Scripture so they may, in turn, share influential truth with the world. We accomplish this through expositional preaching, intentional intergenerational discipleship (Titus 2), and meaningful community engagement.
Culture
5 Bridges is a blend of traditional and contemporary, including members who are military, snowbirds, and transplants spanning across 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 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 Wednesday-night discussions provide invaluable opportunities for deeper spiritual growth and connection with others. 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 in your faith journey.
