Visit Us
Sundays at 10am
We would love to invite you to a service on Sunday or to any of our events. If you’re new to Anchor Bay, Sunday worship is a good place to start. Stick around after service to get to know our pastors and church community! Whether you're looking for a church or a place to ask questions and connect with God, we look forward to seeing you soon!
Our Services
What to Expect: We worship in a variety of ways, through songs, stories, creative arts, and sermons. We value relevance, while adhering to centuries-old Christian traditions, and incorporate both ancient and contemporary elements in our worship. The service is usually about 70-80 minutes.
Every first Sunday of the month, we celebrate Communion, the Lord’s Supper.
What to Wear: Come as you are! Some people come in t-shirts and jeans, and others come business casual. There is no expectation that you should dress in a certain way to be here at Anchor Bay!
First time? Let us know you’re coming and we’ll make sure and greet you in style!
Location & Parking
Our Address: 10 Dane Street, Beverly, MA 01915
Where to Park: Help yourself to a spot in our parking lot behind the church on Sundays for worship. If the lot is full, or on special Sundays where we need the parking lot for events (like our big Easter After Party), here is a map of where to find nearby free street parking!

Soulfood
Head to the Fellowship Hall (to the left of the sanctuary) after the service for a cup of coffee or tea and nut-free snacks. It’s a great opportunity to make connections and meet new people!
Kids Crew!
Our youngest members are so special to God and to our church! We hope that they feel the love of Christ in every interaction they have in our community with both other kids and grown-ups.
If you are joining us for the first time, you can register your kid ahead of time! Please check in at our Kids Crew check-in station located in the Fellowship Hall (the big room next to the sanctuary) before the service. Kids stay with us in the service until the sermon, when they head down to Kids Crew.

Youth
Our Youth Ministry exists to help middle and high school students grow to know and experience Jesus Christ in such a way that equips and propels them to love Jesus, serve neighbors, & celebrate life! We exist to be a safe place for students to ask questions, explore what it means to live a life committed to God’s will and Word, and celebrate God's work in and through their lives on a daily basis.
Currently, our Youth Group meets most Sunday evenings from 4-5:30pm. Every gathering includes enjoying dinner together, studying the Bible, and playing games! Look out for Youth Group events on our calendar.

Our Parlor (the small “fireplace room” located off of the Fellowship Hall) is available as a quiet space during the service for those who need a break for any reason, or who need a quiet space to nurse. Feel free to use that space as needed! We have sensory toys and coloring pages available in the Parlor, as well as in the back of the sanctuary.
