Come As You Are
Everyone Welcome
Welcome Home

You're welcome here, just as you are

Saugahatchee Church exists for one reason: to know Jesus and to make Him known. We're a Protestant, Pentecostal family that loves the Word, welcomes the Spirit, and believes God is still at work today.

We treasure the faith handed down to us, and we lean joyfully into what God is doing next — grounded in truth, never bound to the traditions of men. However you found us, you'll find a seat, a family, and a Savior who already knows your name.

Protestant & Pentecostal Bible-centered Spirit-filled Family-friendly

Nervous about visiting? That's okay — a lot of people are. Whether it's your first time in a church in years or your first time ever, you don't need to dress up, know the songs, or have it all figured out. Just come as you are and sit with us. We'll be glad you did.

Our Mark

One symbol, the whole story

Our logo isn't decoration — it's our calling in a single image: a flame rising from living water, with the cross at its heart.

Pentecostal Fire

The flame of the Holy Spirit, poured out at Pentecost and still falling fresh today.

Living Water

The same shape is a drop — baptism, cleansing, and the new life Jesus gives.

The Cross

Jesus at the very center of everything — the heart of our worship and our hope.

The Saugahatchee

The creek we're named for — hatchee means "flowing stream." Deep roots, living current.

Your First Visit

What to expect on Sunday

New to church or just new to us? Here's what a Sunday with our family looks like — no pressure, no dress code, no catch.

1

Come as you are

Jeans or your Sunday best — both fit right in. Arrive a few minutes early and someone will help you find your way.

2

Heartfelt worship

Expect music that's alive and genuine, room for the Spirit to move, and time to meet with God together.

3

The Word, made plain

Clear, honest Bible teaching you can carry into Monday — grounded in Scripture and lived out in real life.

4

Kids are loved here

Safe, fun, age-appropriate spaces where your children learn that Jesus loves them — while you worship at ease.

Pastor Lee Kilpatrick

Lead Pastor

Hey there, and welcome. I'm so glad you found us. Whether you've been walking with Jesus for years or you're just beginning to ask the big questions, there's a place for you here at Saugahatchee.

Our heart is simple: to know Jesus and to make Him known — in honest, everyday life. We're not about religion for its own sake; we're about real people meeting a real God and growing together as a family.

I'd love to meet you in person on a Sunday, hear your story, and walk with you however I can. And if you ever just need someone to pray with you, I'm only a message away.

— Pastor Lee

What We Believe

Grounded in truth, open to the Spirit

Historic Christian faith, held with Pentecostal conviction. These are the truths we build our lives on.

The Bible, fully trustworthy

God's Word is true, living, and our final authority for faith and life.

Salvation in Jesus alone

By grace through faith in Christ — His cross, His empty tomb, His finished work.

The Spirit, alive today

We welcome the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit for everyday life and ministry.

A people sent out

Loved by God and sent to love others — making Jesus known in our community and beyond.

Know Jesus

Begin with Jesus

Everything on this website points to one Person. If you've never begun a real relationship with Him, this is the most important thing on the page.

God made you and loves you — but sin separates every one of us from Him, and no amount of trying harder can close that gap. So God closed it Himself: Jesus, God's Son, lived the life we couldn't, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead. Forgiveness, new life, and the gift of the Holy Spirit are offered to anyone who will turn from sin and trust Him — not earned, received.

“...if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9 · ESV

You can pray something like this, and mean it:

“Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and I can't save myself. I believe You died for me and rose again. Forgive me, make me new, and fill me with Your Spirit. From today, You are my Lord. Amen.”

I made a decision today I have questions

If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family — heaven is celebrating (Luke 15:7). Tell us so we can walk with you from day one, and ask about Headwaters — our six-week journey built just for you.

Get Involved

Find your place to belong

Faith grows best together. Five communities carry the life of our church — for our kids, our students, our young adults, our women, and our men — each drawn from the flame and the living water at the heart of who we are.

Kids Ministry

Little Creek

Big faith starts small.

Little Creek is where our youngest ones take their first steps with Jesus. Through story, song, and play, kids discover they are known, loved, and safe — and that the living water is for them, too. Every child belongs at the creek.

"Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God."

Mark 10:14 · ESV
Youth Ministry

The Current

Pulled deeper. Sent farther.

The Current is where our middle and high schoolers are pulled deeper into Jesus and caught up in what His Spirit is doing. Together we build real friendships, wrestle with honest questions, and gain the momentum to live sent — roots growing down as faith moves forward.

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."

1 Timothy 4:12 · ESV
Young Adults

The Crossing

Pass through. Don't go alone.

The Crossing is for young adults navigating the passage — college, career, new callings, big decisions. Together we cross into a faith that's fully our own, anchored in the Word, honest in our questions, and walking side by side. The water may be deep, but no one crosses alone.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you."

Isaiah 43:2 · ESV
Men's Ministry

The Forge

Sharpened by fire. Sent by grace.

The Forge is where the men of Saugahatchee are shaped by the fire of the Spirit and the truth of the Word. We gather to sharpen one another, to stand rooted for our families, and to be sent out to make Him known. Come as you are — leave forged for the calling ahead.

"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

Proverbs 27:17 · ESV
Women's Ministry

The Well

Filled to overflow.

The Well is where the women of Saugahatchee come to be filled by the Living Water that never runs dry. We gather to be refreshed in His presence, rooted in His truth, and poured out in grace to our homes, our church, and our community. There's always room at the Well.

"The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

John 4:14 · ESV

To the Ends of the Earth

From the creek to the nations

Our whole heart is Know Jesus · Make Him Known — and “Make Him Known” doesn't stop at the county line. Jesus said we would be His witnesses “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8), so Saugahatchee stands behind five world missionaries: praying for them by name, giving so they can go, and carrying their fields in our hearts until every nation knows Him.

Life Together

Faith around the table

Sunday lights the fire — small groups keep it burning. Through the week we'll gather in homes to open the Word, pray for one another, and share a table. It's the closest thing to Acts chapter two we know. We're building our small groups right now, and more information on each group and its focus is coming soon — let us know below if you'd like to be part of one from the start.

“Breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.” Acts 2:46 · ESV
