If you\u2019re new to faith, just checking it out, or coming back to church after some time away, Starting Point is a great first step for in-person or online!<\/p>\n
Starting Point is an eight-week conversational small group environment where you can explore faith and experience community. It\u2019s a place where your beliefs and opinions are valued, and where no question is off-limits.<\/p>\n
To join a Starting Point gathering follow these easy steps to connect:
\n* Mark your calendars for our first meeting on Sunday, October 3 at 9 am in the Starting Point Suite or online.
\n* Request a Starting Point book ($10 or scholarship if needed).
\n* Show up.
\n* If you have children in Waumba Land or UpStreet please let their group leaders know you will be in Starting Point in case the discussion goes a little longer.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"starting-point","image":{"url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo.jpg","id":839,"extension":"jpg","width":1650,"height":1084,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":197,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo-300x197.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":505,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo-768x505.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":673,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo-1024x673.jpg"},"post-image":{"width":1280,"height":372,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo-1280x372.jpg"},"messages-image":{"width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/starting-point-logo-300x300.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2021-10-03 09:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"10","day":"03","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2021-12-05 09:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"12","day":"05","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2021-10-03 14:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"10","day":"03","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2021-12-05 15:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"12","day":"05","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CDT","cost":"$10","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":["10"]},"website":"https:\/\/beachsidecc.churchcenter.com\/registrations\/events\/995551","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Groups","slug":"groups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":40,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw","meta":[],"id":40,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/40","collection":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Starting Point","slug":"starting-point","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":89,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":40,"count":1,"filter":"raw","meta":[],"id":89,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/89","collection":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories","up":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/40"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":65,"author":"2","status":"publish","date":"2014-03-09 14:59:44","date_utc":"2014-03-09 19:59:44","modified":"2014-07-17 21:42:29","modified_utc":"2014-07-18 02:42:29","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/venue\/beachside\/","venue":"Beachside Community Church","slug":"beachside","address":"200 Racetrack Road","city":"Fort Walton Beach","country":"United States","state":"FL","zip":"32547","stateprovince":"FL","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Beachside Community Church","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"200 Racetrack Road","addressLocality":"Fort Walton Beach","addressRegion":"FL","postalCode":"32547","addressCountry":"United States"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"beachside.org?id=65","global_id_lineage":["beachside.org?id=65"]},"organizer":[{"id":356,"author":"3","status":"publish","date":"2014-07-16 15:11:45","date_utc":"2014-07-16 20:11:45","modified":"2014-07-16 15:11:45","modified_utc":"2014-07-16 20:11:45","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org\/organizer\/beachside-community-church\/","organizer":"Beachside Community Church","slug":"beachside-community-church","website":"https:\/\/beachside.org","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Beachside Community Church","description":"","url":"https:\/\/beachside.org","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/beachside.org"},"global_id":"beachside.org?id=356","global_id_lineage":["beachside.org?id=356"]}],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Starting Point","description":"<p>If you\u2019re new to faith, just checking it out, or coming back to church after some time away, Starting Point is a great first step for in-person or online!
