The various churches of Inlet provide year round residents, seasonal residents, and visitors not only a place of worship, but a sense of community and social identity. Inlet offers places of worship for three different denominations, including the Catholic faith at St. Anthony's Church, the Presbyterian faith at the Church of the Lakes (summer months), and a biblical-based Protestant faith at the Inlet Community Church.

Inlet's ACIC also serves as the major information resource for Inlet's waterways.

The community looks forward to the Symphony's appearance as an annual event.

In 1956 they purchased a used Cadillac ambulance and housed it in their garage to be used for emergencies. They ran this service until the early 1990’s when the Volunteer Ambulance Squad was formed. The legion and the auxiliary send one boy and one girl from the area to Boys State and Girls State every year. They are hosts to the Hamilton County Memorial Day Parade every four years. They participate in memorial services for departed comrades. And they are always willing to participate in programs that will benefit the area especially those involving area youth.
