Seaside Chapel Changes

New posts
If there are serious possibilities of someone wanting to back the shooting of a documentary in Seaside, Please know I have all the equipment Video/Audio/lighting, Editing and crew to do so. Just need a writer, some local talent (Plenty there) and someone with a good knowledge of the Community and surrounding area. Oh and the easy part, Investors to cover the cost. Please feel free to contact me, as I am serious. I think the idea will work! :wave:
I certainly don't know anything film making! I do think the TRUE story of Seaside, the humble beginning and everything that came after would be a very interesting tale. The tough part is that "Seaside" is not a single entity, but rather a cottage rental agency, a homeowners association and a group of merchants. Even within the merchants, some are Seaside Associated Stores, some shops rent from Seaside and others are tenants of private owners or are owners themselves. Oh, I forgot the Seaside Institute and the Seaside Neighborhood School. Easy to see how issues (and stories) become so complicated. I am thinking it might be a mini-series!
 
Lets me see if I have this right. The Walton Sun article says Seaside Chapel Board invites people to worship in the church for about four years and build a great ministry, do lots of great works and pay off their One Million Dollar building for Charles Renfroe the owner at the same time.

I think I'll not trade the farm for some beach property. I'm going into the Chapel building business.
 
"Anything other than that is a fabrication of the truth and the source should be considered."

It is a shame the way this was handled, but the above statement shows a complete lack of grace offered to the group who saved your building from the steps of the Defuniak courthouse, Mr. Renfroe. Seaside's coterie pride themselves on their subdued class, but you can often spot the sow's ear if you look at the lining.
 
Doesn't this nit picking over who qualifies to be on the board of the church remove it's exemption as a religious and tax exempt property? Seems like a "private" church doesn't welcome or benefit the community and therefore would be fully taxable by the local government?
is this the new congregation:eek:
 
when we were in seaside recently we were underwhelmed by the towering merchant structures it just smothers the other quaint architechture.
