Horseshoe Beach Baptist Church rebuilding after two hurricanes destroyed sanctuary

First Baptist Church of Horseshoe Beach has lost its sanctuary twice in two years, first to Hurricane Idalia in 2023 and then to Hurricane Helene in 2024, which struck just weeks after repairs from the first storm were completed. The building and its foundation have since been demolished, and church leaders are now planning a full rebuild. Members say restoring the church is essential because it is the only place of worship in the small coastal community.
