History

The Village Church is a member congregation of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. After more than 115 years, this missionary denomination has 2,000 churches in the United States and more than 17,000 churches in 75 countries of the world. Historically, the C&MA has been comprised of people from widely varied backgrounds who are united in faith in Jesus Christ and committed to the missionary task.

Much like its denomination, The Village Church is a blend of people from more than 20 denominational backgrounds. This diversity has created an atmosphere of openness and acceptance for various forms of worship and appreciation for the different perspectives and history each one brings to the church.

The Village Church is an integral part of the spiritual vitality of the Shell Point Retirement Community. Working with Shell Point Retirement Community, The Village Church is building upon the foundation begun 35 years ago.

Shell Point Weather & Climate

Florida's Northwest Panhandle between Tallahassee and Panama City is somewhat cooler than the rest of the state due to its latitude and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. There are a significant number of days November - March when the combination of sea breezes and prevailing winds from the north force cold air into the area. The Panhandle also receives the most rain of any region in the state. In summertime, abundant sunshine and the Gulf, along with 58 inches of rainfall per year, contributes to a hot and humid climate. The chance of showers and thunderstorms can be expected anytime of the year, although the rainy season generally runs May - September, with August and September being the wettest months. Hurricane season officially lasts from August through late October, but ample warning is given for these types of storms.

Beaches: Shell Point is fortunate to be just minutes from some of the finest beaches in all of America. Sanibel and Captiva Islands, just two miles away, are internationally known for their secluded white sand beaches, turquoise waters, luxury resorts, and an abundance of exotic shells that wash up on their shores. Fort Myers Beach, five miles down the road, is a beach town to the core, with waterfront recreation, shops, and restaurants.

Nature: In such a spectacular tropical setting, Shell Point is host to some wondrous wildlife. Dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors to The Island's waterways. Bald eagles can be seen nesting at the Shell Point Golf Club, while ospreys prefer tall poles throughout the community. Herons, egrets, pelicans, anhingas, ibis, oystercatchers, and other tropical seabirds are abundant. The fishing is some of the most sought-after in the country. In nearby wildlife refuges, you'll catch glimpses of alligators, otters, and even the rare Florida panther. Nature lovers will never run out of sights to see.
