Heart of the Father Ministry - Lakeland (FL)

5 /5 Gail Guerrieri: Overall, this is one of the best churches I’ve been too in a long time. Recently, after attending Bible school, and some other events, including so-called Christians hurting me deeply and viciously in a way that I couldn’t even believe; I was turned off from organized religion and most churches altogether. But I met someone immediately after relocating to Lakeland who attended HOTFM, and challenged me to give it a try, describing HOTFM church as “the least religious church in Lakeland”, which sounded appealing at the time, so I attended. I was pleasantly surprised. Several of the members welcomed me openly, some even embracing me. They were just starting a class on emotional healing and deliverance at the time and that impressed me, to see ‘church people’ who are actually aware that there is desperately needed emotional healing, deliverance and support in the church. Yes we have Jesus, but often times most people need some form of help or healing, even at least emotional healing, whether recent or pain and trauma of the past. As Christians we need to be aware of what we need as a church and a body, and what we need mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. There’s is so much more church. We are not a building, we are the body of Christ and we need help, and mostly we need each other. There’s is so much more, and we need to draw closer to Jesus and to one another. “They will know you by your love (for one another)”. Jesus

5 /5 L. Nichols: This church is like a big multi-cultural family. It’s a genuinely warm and welcoming place to come and hear expository preaching and participate in Spirit-filled worship.

1 /5 Nicole A.: Loved the music but it was being disrupted by a woman with a baby speaking loudly in tongues. It actually gave me nightmares. I won’t be going back. This really needs to be taken into consideration how disruptive it is especially for people that are just visiting the church.

1 /5 Haley Pridgen: Truly some of the most disturbing leadership I have ever encountered. Would not recommend it.

5 /5 Awilda Chevere: Its a "Wao" for the Almighty God,..since the 1st. day it have been a challenge through to be free in worship in spirit and truth, prayer in His presence, obedience and more hunger for His word. I havent only found a church, I have found the Sweet Body of Jesus Christ; unconditional love of our Father Abba and not less, an inner peace that surpasses all understanding. And for the kids....as simple...when Jesus says let the children be next to me", they are eating nutrients in healthy spiritual environment. Come... See...and live in His sweet and beloved arms.❤️
