Christ Fellowship Church - Downtown - Miami (FL)

Johanna Hughes Pribble We came here while we were on vacation from Illinois. The church was very beautiful and had a spirit of being an alive parish. There was no postmodern art here. The tone of mass was traditional. The music was sang by nuns, the preaching emphasized the importance of the Eucharist, and you could receive communion on the tongue. Another aspect was that there was outdoor perpetual adoration. Loved that. The priest encouraged the parish to visit Jesus in the Eucharist every day and not to live in fear. And, if you are concerned about parking. The parking lot here is large and free.

Jennifer Morales New review: I wanted to follow up and acknowledge Father Jesús Ferras’ thoughtful and sincere response to my previous review. I truly appreciate the time he took to personally address my experience and offer an apology. His words reflect what I had hoped to encounter from the beginning — understanding, compassion, and the spirit of the Church. While my initial experience was disappointing and left me feeling dismissed, Father Ferras’ message reminded me of the importance of grace and dialogue within our faith community. I respect his willingness to reach out and turn an unfortunate encounter into an opportunity for reflection and hopefully, improvement. As Catholics — especially when we’re guiding others through sacraments — kindness, patience, and understanding should always be present. I am grateful this was recognized, and I sincerely hope others who seek assistance from the parish are met with the love and support that should reflect our faith. Thank you, Father Ferras, for your response and blessing during this important time for us. Original 1 Star review: I rarely leave reviews, but after this experience, I feel it’s necessary — not just as a customer, but as a fellow Catholic. My husband and I are preparing for marriage and reached out to request his sacramental records — a process that is both new and significant for us. Unfortunately, the response we received was dismissive and unkind. Rather than being met with the welcoming spirit we’re accustomed to from our home parish, we were treated as a burden. When I asked how long the process would take, the woman on the phone curtly said, “Two weeks, I don’t know — maybe your parish has more people working there, but I’m just one person.” I understand being busy. I also understand that many parishes are short-staffed. But as Catholics, we are called to reflect Christ — especially when serving others who reach out to the Church for help. A little patience, kindness, and compassion would have gone a long way, especially toward a couple trying to follow Church teaching and prepare for the sacrament of marriage. Sadly, this interaction left me disappointed and disheartened. I pray that others seeking guidance or assistance from this parish receive a warmer welcome — one that reflects the true heart of our faith.

Dominique Grace I have been truly blessed by this ministry. God is raising up people after God’s heart in this house. God bless Pastor EJ and Pastor Darrian, they are bold vessels for the body of Christ. They have exposed false prophets unashamed. In doing so, they have removed the veil from my eyes and have helped me get back to reading the bible.

Cassandra Holly I love la Regla .Everything thing I ask her I get it . Small church , Always clean , welcoming

Nicole Creegan Lovely community! We baptized our daughter here and the entire process was warm, welcoming, and a forever cherished family memory.

Isaac Colon It is a great church everybody is one big family here and we worship christ together singing or preaching!

A Raad Story A church like no other. Encountering God is inevitable here & there’s a huge support system that makes this place a home. Family environment and friendly people who genuinely care about serving God, people, & our community.

Eric Joo A strange experience. Not sure if it was because this church is in Miami but it was a mix of new and old. There were very traditional elements like the Apostles Creed but worship was contemporary. Also message was about how God worked over many years to bring the church a crypto opportunity. Thats well and good but not sure how crypto helps with Gods plan.

Luving Venture Absolutely LOVE this church!!! I drive far to come here (45 mins to a hour) because I now call this place home. People are so welcoming and caring. The pastors are amazing! Best part is that they preach straight from the Bible. There is no hidden agenda, no prosperity preaching, no false prophet situation, nothing sketchy. It’s all about God the father and Jesus teachings. I love the straight forward approach to teaching. I also love the calling for people to come to Jesus, that’s so important. The worship team is amazing! Beautiful voices! The life groups are so necessary and I have now joined quite a few and I couldn’t be more blessed to be a part of it. The children’s ministry is not just a babysitting service, they actually teach the little ones about Jesus. My son loves it there. We are so happy at Elevate!!!!

Manuel Garcia Love our sons school. Staff is great and super informative, uses email , social media etc to communicate effectively. Looking forward to the years to come and see the progress in my sons holy and academic education.
