You’re invited to explore certain hope in an uncertain world.

Life on the Beaches is great—but it’s not always easy. Behind the lifestyle and the surf, people are asking real questions: What’s the point of it all? Can the environment be saved? How do I cope with anxiety or illness? Where can I find something solid to hold onto?

Hope for the Beaches is designed for people who don’t usually go to church. It’s a chance to explore real-life topics, hear stories of transformation, and discover how the Christian message offers something solid: hope you can actually live by.

You're Invited

Each week tackles a different theme— no matter your background, beliefs or doubts—you’re welcome at St Mark’s Freshwater. Come as you are. 

🌅 Hope and the Future – Sunday 27 July
Is there any reason to be hopeful about the future—or is everything just getting worse? See how Jesus offers a future secured by love, not fear—grounded in His promise.

🌿 Hope and the Environment – Sunday 3 August
How can Christian faith say anything meaningful in the face of environmental crisis and climate anxiety?

💭 Hope and Our Mental Health – Sunday 10 August
Where can we turn when inner peace feels out of reach and life feels overwhelming? In the midst of anxiety, depression, and inner turmoil, see how Jesus offers real peace, presence, and hope.

💪 Hope and Our Physical Health – Sunday 17 August
Is God for our wellness and healthy living? What hope is there when our bodies break down or life doesn’t go as planned? What difference does faith make to your well-being?

✝️ Hope and YOU – Sunday 24 August
Could there be a deeper kind of hope—one that’s personal, lasting, and actually true? True hope isn't wishful thinking but a living reality found in the death and resurrection of Jesus, offered to all who seek Him.
