The Church By The Sea

We have been a part of this church for >6 years. We followed the pastor (who married us) here after he left the prior church we were affiliated with. Let me just tell you, it was best decision ever. Not only is this church like a family to us but it is truly a place to make you feel like "the less than perfect are more than welcome" (the church motto). Our children have grown up here. We are centered around God, children of God but supporters of each other. No judgment. No drama. Just wonderful people praising our Lord together. Uplifting eachother. So happy to be part of this church.

This Church makes you feel welcome from the beginning. It’s like joining a family that you already knew for many years. Pastor Reny is a fantastic person, family man, and wonderful pastor. Their “Youth group” is so Amazing for our 11 year old boy we are thankful to have found it. I see this place growing and having a waitlist because it is so great!

I love this church! Nothing but good vibes. Life is good at Florida Faith Church

I have been working at this church since 2016 and have been enjoying to learn from such a dedicated staff. I have also noticed that revs., and their members are not only warm and friendly, but they live up to the expectations on their calling. Their lines are join us for a day or a lifetime, and wherever you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome here, and they truly mean it.

Our family came to this area 3.5 years ago and did not have to go far to find a home at Church by the sea. This church is beyond welcoming, they are a ‘yes’ to anything this community needs. Their involvement in outside projects exceeds the capacity we have in volunteers but it never stops them from getting involved, rallying whoever they can and they come through in full force.

Our personal experience has been so good I recommend it to anyone I know looking for a church family. The Pastor is such a good person and his love for all of us shines from the pulpit - he has an incredible sense of humor and brings light to a one hour sermon. His wife is an incredible leader, full of life, ready to serve, always listening to the needs of others and her smile, kindness and generosity is boundless. The people are warm, welcoming and even if you happen to be one of those that wants to be under the radar - you can be! But moreover, if you are looking for a place to participate, volunteer, and lead - this is an incredible find. Most of all they receive everyone with openness and genuineness. This is a Christ- centered church that welcomes all denominations and lifestyles and their slogan — ‘where the less than perfect are more than welcome’ is tried and true to the culture.

Things to think about : church starts promptly at 10am. Parking can be tough when the snow birds are in town so get there early to find a space. There are two chapels and my favorite is not the main chapel but the side chapel on the right side of the main door. If you get there after 10, use the side chapel - not the main entrance so you can quietly come in and no one will notice 😉. There is a kids Sunday school and your child WILL make friends. Stay after church for a few minutes to fellowship in the courtyard- someone is always signed up to bring coffee and sweets and this is a great time to network or reconnect.
