My wife and I searched for years for a Gulf Breeze church where we felt welcome, comfortable and included. It is difficult not to feel comfortable at St. Francis. The architecture of the church embraces you. The people are unfailingly kind and generous. Literally, we could hardly wait for Sundays. We also hoped to be involved in our new parish. Two years later, my wife is responsible for parish receptions and I have been elected to the Vestry. Moreover, we are both very happy with the Episcopal church's emphasis on Scripture, tradition and reason as its guiding principles.
