20th Street Church of Christ - St. Petersburg (FL)

Sue Franco This was my 1st time going to the Food Pantry and I was very impressed with how we were treated and how organized you all were. Thank You so much we were blessed and I know you have been blessed as well to be able to help as many as you have. Thank You again for treating everyone with respect and love.

Erica Delia Pastor Mike truly lives by what he preaches. Rarely is one blessed to see a pastor be so involved with his church community and walk by faith. He is understanding, compassionate, and truthful even when it can be hard to preach the truth.

Rebecca DiGiaimo We love our family at FUMC Preschool. When you walk the halls of the school all of the teachers know your child’s name. They go above and beyond to support our girl’s development and encourage her spirit. The teachers are nurturing and create a safe community for the children to be themselves and learn, while also giving the parent great feedback and insights into their day to day. Our daughter is in the two year old class and LOVES going to school everyday. What more could you ask for!

Becca Jones I want to thank Pastor Rich, Michele, Noah, Dana, Jim, the cleaning couple/bouncer (lol), and everyone else that I haven’t mentioned. You all were so great to myself and my guests. I know this was a little unique and us traveling in from Texas. The communication was superb, the location was perfect, the planning was amazing with no flaws. Literally everything was breathtaking and full of love and emotion. Thank you for your hospitality, time, blessings, prayer, guidance, encouragement, references and love! Everyone loved their experience as well. For anyone looking to have their special day captured, their church; prayer room, garden and chapel offer some pretty incredible views for great shots on your special day

Kathryn Perry My wife and I have searched for a truly affirming and welcoming church for years, and we finally found this in Different Church. It is amazing to attend the services and see the diversity amongst the people who come together each Sunday. Our experiences in previous churches have been difficult and there were times when we nearly gave up, believing there was no church that existed where we could be our true selves and not feel ashamed. Not only is the music incredible, but each Sunday, we are moved by the message (or messages) of Pastor Hannah’s sermons. She breaths life back into us as the human beings we are by helping us to understand a perspective of the Bible and of worship that is not wrapped in alienation or condemnation but instead love, peace, acceptance and comfort. The only thing I wish for this church is for more members to join and experience all it has to offer. I look forward to each Sunday and am excited to continue to become a part of the Different Church family.

Debra Grace Connection Church - taught by the Holy Spirit, through Pastor Tim Kelley has always been amazing. People would hear his message on the radio & attend! I remember Miss Linda actually sold her house to move down to attend!- attended since I got here to Florida since February 1999. Only a few years I didnt go because I moved near Dunedin to share a home. Keep meaning to get back. People applied what they learned here to their lives; so important!! Very special people and teaching. Dr. Lewis is a great teacher also! He moved down from MD. ;). Great moves of the Holy Spirit.

Walter Sackett Reliance Church feels like a second home for me and my family. The members are genuine, always have a smile on their faces, and always make me feel welcome. Me and my family have already made many friends at this church. Each time I come I always get something out of the service and you can tell God is moving in this church and using this church. My faith has definitely strengthened because of Reliance Church!

Shian M Hope St. Pete is the first church I’ve ever been a part of that I feel safe to have questions and doubts and feel not only accepted but loved, respected, and truly considered a part of the community. We’re a group of people from diverse backgrounds and experiences who truly love each other, want to spend time together, are inclusive, and who support each other through the ups and downs of life. We have thoughtful, convicting messages that are filled with scripture from great leaders and teachers that love God. The messages are practical and resonate long after they’re taught. Great kids program too!!! 10/10 these humans are the best part of St. Pete for me

Jesse Lee Morgan This church is made up of beautiful people full of faith!

Grant Tolbert An absolutely beautiful Cathedral! The worship service was amazing, the Choir was glorious, The organ with the antiphonal in the back and the Organist was so wonderful. Made my whole day!
