First Presbyterian Church Bradenton - 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.

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!!

Mary Lu Glidden We love our church! When we visited the first time we saw the sign that said "Welcome, you are home" and it was true. We were greeted and welcomed as if we were coming home. Were currently getting ready to serve the Bradenton Florida community after 2 hurricanes back to back. Come and see what God has provided.

June The comments below were from my first two visits. I went to the 11:00 service on my 3rd Visio and wow what a great welcome I received ! The Lord lead me there a third time and he knew where he wanted me to be. I have also been to the first service again and found it welcoming. I am also enjoying the Friday morning bible study and am looking forward to getting more involved. My first post I have come to your church twice now and not found it very welcoming. I as a visitor to your church was not spoken to on my first visit but the sermon was spot on. So I decided to come a second time hoping to find the congregation more welcoming. I went up to have coffee thinking someone would realize I was new and greet me. I did get a rushed good morning from the gentleman who was in a rush to grab a cup of coffee. But again not welcomed to your church. I filled out a card found on the back of the chair in front of me after the service. I had no idea what to do with it and finally asked someone. The gentleman showed me a box box on the wall to put it in and started to back away and I gave him a funny look. He then told me to have a good Sunday. Is this the right impression for fellowship? Although the sermon by pastor Brian was exactly what I have been searching for in a church. And the entire service was wonderful and inspirational. So I am torn, where is the right house of worship for me???? Still praying for the lord to bring me to the right house of worship.

N R DeLoach A no frills down to earth church with a loving and friendly congregation. I love singing the old hymns that have stood the test of time over centuries. The pastor delivered a message that speaks to your soul. If you are looking for a loving church family youll find it here.

Carol Chartier I visited GCC because I have been working on Sundays and couldnt attend my regular church. I appreciate that they had a Saturday evening service available. The parking was packed and I had to park down the street but immediately a golf cart picked me up and took me to the front door. I was greeted and even met a few people that were kind, friendly and helpful. The church was bright and clean, coffee and water available. The auditorium was smaller than I expected and it was packed, but I found a seat right away. The service was quick and enjoyable. The music and unique performance they did that night was nice and the pastor spoke well. This is a great place to get introduced to christianity as it was superficial and easy to understand. Where I am in my life I need a little more in depth teaching of the word but that is because I have been growing in my relationship with the lord. I felt comfortable and at home here and would def visit them again. Thank you !

Brittany Cox Love this church and how they usher the Holy Spirit in each time. From the greeting at the door to the worship! It is refreshing each week and challenges us to go deeper with God. The passion pastor Don has to see the Kingdom displayed here on earth is inspiring. It really is an equipping church for the body to come together.

Hurd Francis “Ed” We are truly blessed to have Alex Regets leading our congregation. The way the Lord is moving through His church, is apparent and incredible to be a part of. Please come see what wonders God has in store for us, as He continues working through KPC, in awesome ways!!!

Frank Smith Pauls gospel is taught here, THE GOSPEL not a gospel is given here

Steven Lackey My parents attended Happy Gospel Church before having to move into an Assisted Living Facility, & then to Memory Care. My Dad passed locally in 2019 & Pastor Bill Bailey officiated his service. After Dad’s passing, moved Mom up to the FL Panhandle. My Mom just passed, after being away for 3 years, but Pastor Bill Bailey still officiated at her funeral here locally, to be buried with my Dad. My parents loved Pastor Bill Bailey & Happy Gospel Church & are so grateful he conducted both of their services. I highly recommend him & the Church, for real anointed Bible preaching & song. If I lived here, I definitely know where I’d attend.
