Anchor Church - Bradenton (FL)

Homegrown Heroes The Dream Center has been one of our biggest blessings our son has been in the after school program since kindergarten and now in the 5th grade. I always knew he was safe and cared for until I could get off work to pick him up and that is one of the best feelings when your child is in public school they pick him up and feed him, its truly the best place.

Beth Wicker Good preaching of the Word and nice friendly people of many races and nationality. Theres even coffee and a sweet treat after service each Sunday.

Russ Duket A great home where God is honored and a bunch of losers like me get to chase His presence and leading all together without judgement!!! I’m continually point to Jesus at this church!

Orietta Nadal Since the first day my husband Tafael and me went we felt at home. All brothers and sister gave us a lot of love. Pastor David was used by the Lord with Bible study that helped us to grow spiritual. Pastor Fernando has the gift to preach and the Holy Spirit uses him for his Glory. Mateo Nochez helps a lot with technology and all brothers and sister work as a team . If you are thinking in a Church to congregate this is the best choice.

Kristal Murphy This church started in the cafeteria of my girls elementary school about ten years ago. It has truly grown into an outstanding church, welcoming all of the community. Since the very first day that Ive attended, they make you feel welcomed like family and you feel at home. I love the atmosphere - all are welcomed as you are. I appreciate the honesty of Pastor Steve as he is very open about his own personal issues and his character; his honesty has helped me strive to be a better person each and every day with the love of Jesus Christ. You wont be disappointed at this place of love and worship, thats for sure! Ive never felt a sense of peace in my life as I do now.

Cheryl I recently moved to this area and attended the church about a week ago. After checking out their website and seeing all of the opportunities they offered for community involvement I knew I had to attend. I was not disappointed. The church is beautiful and appears to have a robust, involved and welcoming congregation. The pastor, to my mind, appears warm and caring and gave a thought-provoking sermon. I am looking forward to returning

Jill Hollywood This a small, but very welcoming church. From the moment my children and I arrived we felt like we had finally found our home church. We love the childrens ministry and compassionate support weve received here.

Pam Mills If you are new to the area and need to find a church where you will be loved from day one and make friends quickly, this is the place to go. They are one of only two churches in the area who actually answer messages on their contact page on their website from people looking for a church, and this church knows how to reach out beyond their walls without organize events to do it. They go above and beyond to love people beyond the walls of church. People in this church live what they believe. I have seen it. This is what church is supposed to look like, and I believe this church will grow because of it. Every church should follow their example and do what they do. It makes me happy every time my friend who leads the young adult women’s bible study talks about bringing in somebody new into our group. Also, I’m going through some health issues right now, and I have been improving in a lot of ways since starting to go to that church, and I think some of that is because I’m not alone anymore. There are so many amazing people there that are praying me through my appointments each week, and a friend has gotten me out of the house to eat lunch with them and talk. I have only sat alone once on a Sunday. I have so many people come up to me and talk or give me hugs. They have literally been this welcoming from day one. As someone who is an introvert and on the autism spectrum and has limited mobility, I appreciate always having a friend to sit with and people going up to me since I’m not always brave enough to say hi first. I hate sitting alone in church, especially since contemporary worship services are a sensory issue for me, so I really appreciate always having a friend next to me. I don’t even have to ask for that. It just happens, and the friend that I sit with most in church is awesome, and so are the other friends that I have sat with! At a breakfast I went to, a friend even walked up to me when I looked nervous and like a deer in headlights and had me sit with her. At the thing I went to tonight, a friend pushed me in a wheelchair over to sit with her and her family, who are all really amazing people. I have never felt weird there. They treat me like I am normal and they include me. This church is amazing. I don’t know how long I will be living in Florida, but I wish I had found you earlier. Thank you for including me and treating me like one of your own from day one. You are the reason I am starting to consider staying in Florida if I can afford to live here and manage to afford enough help to get well. You are truly a blessing.

Joseph Richard hunsberger the place that cares for your needs. A place that save my life. Great place to find yourself. Great place to find God. Remember God is good all the time. Wow. Come join and you will see wonderful things that God provides for all

Kelda Robarts I love my church! This is a place where you can be yourself and find new friends and family of all ages and stages, who are just trying to love God and love each other. It has been a huge part of changing my life and direction to live a more Christ centered life of love. You are welcome here!!
