Registration Fee Announcement
As many of you are aware, ownership of the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach changed last year leading to a significant increase in the meeting facility rental. In order to help defray the cost and keep Panama City Beach as a Feast site, a registration fee is being implemented. The fee is $25 for anyone over 18 years of age and will be collected online at the time of registration. If anyone has financial needs and Panama City Beach is your closest site, please contact your pastor so arrangements can be made to waive this fee. The registration fee will be refunded if members who need to cancel their plans to come to PCB. The last day to cancel in order to receive a refund will be Sunday, September 24th, 2023.

Also, the Panama City Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau is donating funding to the United Church of God to help offset our rental expenses and make pricing comparable to other sites. However, they are requiring documentation of where members are staying. At the Feast, attendees will be required to list the name of the condominium or hotel used during the Feast on the housing survey.

We are once again excited to offer Panama City Beach as a site to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles and Eighth Day this year! Warm weather, clear Gulf waters and pristine sandy beaches provide a millennial setting to focus on God’s plan and coming Kingdom.

Services are held each day at the Edgewater Beach Resort. Edgewater offers one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums overlooking the beach and pools. Those staying in the condos can either ride a tram or walk to services via a private bridge that crosses over the road. One-, two- and three bedroom golf villas are also available for those who prefer to stay closer to the convention center. All suites and villas come with a full kitchen and washer/dryer.

Edgewater’s gated community provides 11 swimming pools (10 of which are heated), children’s splash pad, 10 tennis courts, 10 shuffleboard courts, five pickleball courts, a golf course, four hot tubs, giftshop, free Wi-fi, a Starbucks and a full-service restaurant, Oceans. In addition, Edgewater Beach Resort now has their own app! Search “Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort” in your favorite app store.

In addition, there are other options for housing accommodations listed that are a short drive from the Edgewater Conference Center. There is an abundance of dining and shopping in all price ranges in and around Panama City Beach area. There is a wide variety of family-oriented entertainment such as miniature golf, scooter rentals, jet-skis, fishing and parasailing.
