Pastor Phil Derstine great character gets involved with his people. Loves to teach people in series it has changed my life in the last two years with outreaches, life groups. Great fellowship made friends easily and learning alot about the vision by going to the 4 week DRIP classes. Presence of God is strong and getting stronger each week. It's the place to be in this season if you want to grow and overcome the circumstances that keep holding you in bondage. Many at church getting free quick and helping others to stop listening to the lies. So come on by plenty of room and early Bible study on Sunday for men and women. Children's ministry is incredible got their own youth building and many classes for all ages.

I was homeless at one point in my life..trying to make it in Florida when people I went there with..bailed on me..and i was alone..a friend told me go to church on Sunday they feed you...so I did...omg did they feed me...they had everything in breakfast I could think of lol..I liked it...I start going regularly...then..they started a program called THE LIFE CENTER FOR MEN...I became the head of the house there..I was even baptized in the manatee river there...there's so much more to say...think her name was sharon love I saw there at Christmas time...and the pastor phil?he would even play saxophone I believe...I'm from NY and these people are just pure blessings!! Thank you for help saving my life in Florida ....I wonder if Bernie and Ruth are still there...there the ones that really showed me there is a god..I was there around the time when 9/11 occurred
