Happy Gospel Church - Bradenton (FL)

Luke Friemark Visited here when we were on vacation. Gospel-centered, warm and inviting, edifying preaching. Will be visiting again on future trips!

Jennifer Kirby Searched for a few years to find a church I could belong to. Finding some I enjoyed but it just didn’t feel like home. I reached out to my old youth pastor and basically begged him to move from Nashville, TN to Bradenton so my kids could grow in faith the way I did through his sermons. He suggested Pastor Sam at West B. I watched online first and really enjoyed the sermons. I finally got the courage to go in person and from day 1 I felt at home. They called me by my first name, took me to coffee to get to know me, invited me to Bunco, podcast and provide so many fun activities for my babies. My tween enjoys going to church. My toddler gets excited when he hears we are going. They have supported and encouraged my foster journey. Even though we don’t have any family within a 5 hour radius, we have built a family with the church. I can’t say enough awesome things about this church community.

Theresa Reichenbach Amazing Spirit Filled God believing body!! Here The Word is spoken and walked out daily. Pastor Dion is so humble and one on one with EVERYONE!!! So rare to find this treasure among the "BIG BOX" superficial churches in Bradenton... Truly a breath of The Spirit... This body walks the walk of Christ Jesus!!!

Nichole Williams One of my grandmothers favorite places to be ...love this place will be back soon ..love nikki

Ryan Dank I wasnt feeling my best the morning I came. Everyone was filled with soo much love thank you. To the believers at river life

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.

Patti MacKay We love Bethel! Our Pastor Andy preaches straight from the Bible and makes each sermon relevant to every day life. If you are a seasoned Christian,a new Christian or wanting to know God and His plan for your life come join us!

Lin&Anne Cook This is a wonderful church. We have attended here for about 15 years whenever we visit the area. The preaching is excellent, clear, and based on the Bible. The pastor has a robust knowledge of the Scriptures. The music is contemporary but good for all age groups. The people are extremely friendly. A great place for both those who live in the area and those who are vacationing to be loved, encouraged, and better understand the Bible.

Elmer Banko Pastor Darin and Gary are the best! They do not pass judgement only look to educate the parish on the Bible and our Lord and Savior. When I was in the hospital several times this was the first church to call continually and see how I was doing. Brought me to Jesus and his work and I am forever grateful. It’s about learning to be a disciple not financial gain. God bless you all!!

Larry Underwood #cultivatingheartsfromdowntown is the mission here at FPC. So many good things happening here!
