Abundant Life Ministries - Largo (FL)

DJ Daugherty A True Spiritual Home! From the moment I walked through the doors of Countryside Baptist Church, I was met with warmth, love, and a genuine sense of community. What started as a visit has turned into something so much more—I’m now a proud member of this incredible church family! The welcoming atmosphere here is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Everyone—from the greeters to the pastors—made me feel at home right away. The messages are grounded in truth, full of encouragement, and always speak to the heart. The worship is powerful and uplifting, creating such a strong connection to God every time we gather. What I love most is how real and relational this church is. They truly care—not just on Sundays, but throughout the week. Whether it’s through small groups, outreach, or just grabbing coffee and sharing life together, the sense of belonging is amazing. If you’re looking for a place to grow in your faith, connect with loving people, and truly feel part of something meaningful, Countryside Baptist Church is it. I’m so thankful God led me here—and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead!

To Ttt They did have a great pantry. I used to go in and help them on Thurs to put the food out for the people to get on Saturday morning. Now that the person was running it stepped down. The pastor is running it. The setup is Sat morning when the truck deliveries. We do not have the time to set it up safely before the people come thru. The pantry opens up at 10am. It takes at least 1 to 2 hrs to setup right and clean up. This will not be safe for anyone.

Cheryl Parapon I have been visiting this churchs thrift store for a couple of years now and have always been very pleased and surprised with my treasures! The prices are very reasonable compared to other church thrift stores that I no longer shop at (their prices have gone up because everything has gone up in price, even though all items for sale were donated!!!???). The volunteers have always been very helpful and friendly. Thank you for being there for us!!!

Bob S We first attended GCF a number of years ago with another family searching for a new church. We were looking for a smaller, bible believing, Jesus loving church where the congregation and the pastor have a personal connection. When we came the second week and the Senior Pastor greeted us at the door by name, we knew we had found a home. Our kids have very much enjoyed this church family, growing up with the youth group and creating lifelong friends. GCF has a number of services, bible studies and other activities through the week for all ages. The church service is relaxed, with the congregation wearing whatever they feel comfortable in, anything from dresses, suits and ties to shorts and sandals. The trend seems to be more relaxed. The church has both an excellent Senior Pastor who founded the church, and a younger Associate Pastor who alternate giving sermons that are both rooted in scripture and with life application. The worship music is mostly contemporary with occasional traditional songs, and the service always ends with communion. We have enjoyed attending this church.

Cynthia Thomas I love New destiny the people are friendly they make you feel that you belong there couldnt find a better Church to belong to

Liz Tabares I am so grateful God lead me to Real Church. I previously went to a church where I found myself stagnant in my faith and saw that I would be a pew sitting Christian if I stayed there. I asked the Lord where he wants me to be rooted at. I asked him to put me in a church where I would be discipled, where they could help me walk out and understand what the Bible talks about. God quickly answered my prayer and brought me Real Church. In the 9 months, I have been there I have grown in my relationship with God exponentially and realized my true identity is in Him. I have found a church family who I can rely on, who covers me in prayer, who picks me up when I am down, reminds me what Christ says about me, and encourages me to live my God given purpose. Although, I have been here only 9 months, it feels like I have been here my whole life. I am beyond grateful for Pastor David and Pastor Courtney for their obedience in saying Yes to the Lord’s plans. They are sincerely on God’s agenda and not their own. They deeply care about every person at the church. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit dwells in this place. Don’t just take my word for it but come experience it yourself! Experience a Real Jesus.
