Details: Join us as we bring back Bible on the Beach in honor of Spirit FM’s 40th Anniversary for a special evening of faith, fellowship, and worship by the Gulf Coast. With more than 600 participants expected to attend, this shoreline gathering invites people to step away from the busyness of daily life and encounter Christ through Scripture, community, and the beauty of creation.

Bible on the Beach will take place on August 5 from 5:00-7:00 PM at Sand Key Park in Clearwater, Florida. The evening will include Scripture discussion, small group sharing, Holy Mass celebrated by Fr. Israel “Izzie” Hernandez, and Eucharistic Adoration with music, along with other moments of prayer and reflection throughout the night. After Mass, refreshments will be available for purchase at Lazy Crave Ice Cream & Coffee, Florida’s most laid-back ice cream and coffee truck!

As we celebrate 40 years of Spirit FM ministry, we invite you to return to the shore for this meaningful tradition and experience the Word of God in a powerful and personal way.
