We have increased our giving ministries this past year.
We have a Board of Overseers that are the decision makers. There is a weekly emailed newsletter that is sent every Thursday with the description of what the sermon is going to be about and also the upcoming events for the week. Any changes in ministry are made by congregational vote.
We are known as a friendly and welcoming congregation. Generosity, both financially and of time, is a huge part of our church. We glorify God, worship the word and share the gospel.
We have a great facility and great location to reach our community. We are a snowbird church but during the summer season we are still committed to making our church run smoothly and be fiscally responsible. We are located in the heart of Sarasota, just 3 miles from the beach. The median age is 57 ½ years old. The population is 464,223 and seasonally adds 78,900 people. We are a growing area with lots of families
