About Sanibel Community Church
Sanibel Community Church sits along the tranquil shores of Sanibel Island at 1740 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, FL 33957. This non-denominational campus features two worship spaces: a Chapel hosting the 8:30 am service and a larger Sanctuary at 10:30 am. The historic Sanctuary, which seats approximately 450, has been a community landmark since renovations began in the early 2010s, with the current sanctuary capacity around 600 after expansion plans completed nearby. This page covers seating details, parking and transportation options, plus nearby hotels and dining to help you secure your visit with ease.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, memorial, or a community event, the church has hosted a range of ceremonies in its historic spaces and newer facilities. Post-Ian renovations were completed in 2025, helping ensure a comfortable experience for attendees and guests. While the seating chart isn’t publicly published, on-site staff can confirm availability for the Chapel or Sanctuary depending on your event size and schedule.
Sanibel is known for its relaxed pace, natural beauty, and convenient island transportation. In addition to church services, visitors often combine a religious or community gathering with a stay on the island, and we’ve gathered practical details to help you plan with confidence.
Parking has been a consideration in past campus expansions, with on-site parking planned as part of ongoing growth. Off-street parking is available, and discussions around expanded parking were part of the 2011 expansion planning. For guests arriving from off-island, consider coordinating with local accommodations and transportation options to ensure a smooth arrival. The island’s free LeeTran on-island shuttle service began in October 2022, offering multiple stops on Sanibel to facilitate travel between destinations, including church visits. Always verify current shuttle operations and schedules closer to your event date.
On Periwinkle Way, guests will find nearby lodging and dining options. Kona Kai Motel (1539 Periwinkle Way) and Anchor Inn And Cottages (1245 Periwinkle Way) are convenient neighbors for guests seeking proximity to the church. When selecting accommodations, consider proximity to the church entrance you’ll use, and whether you prefer quiet residential surroundings or closer access to island amenities. For dining, local favorites and affiliate partner recommendations can help you secure convenient meal options before or after events.
For planning details, we’ve included essential venue information, transportation tips, and nearby hotel and restaurant partners to help you secure your visit with confidence. Reach out to the venue team for current availability and any ADA accommodations or accessibility needs.
