Home Fellowship Church - Bradenton (FL)

5 /5 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!!

5 /5 Anthony Letterio: Teaching the Bible word by word, teaching truth, and sticking to Gods truth. Ive known Pastor Darin and his wife Liza for many years. They taught my kids through school and were such a positive impact on them. Weve been attending this church what seems like forever. Were constantly learning and growing in amazing ways. To have a pastor like Darin has been a true learning experience as he has taught me how to seek God and understand what God wants for my life. Through the counseling and leadership of Pastor Darin and pastor Gary, God has saved my marriage, my life, and my spiritual well-being. The whole church is like a family and were always there for each other. Sometimes Gods truth can sting a bit but is better than the hit the world can give you and the lies. Im truly blessed by the leadership there, as well as being involved in the school with the kids truly has been amazing! To see the negative comments from a few is definitely not accurate to the many at Home Fellowship. There are times we can get offended by the truth and blame the person thats delivering Gods message. If specifics were ever mentioned then we can see how it aligns with Gods word. Anytime that I felt I wasnt sure on what was said I looked it up myself in the Bible and seen that the word was delivered accurately. Gods word is not to be debated or twisted to fit into our comfort zone. God wants us out of our comfort zone to deliver his message and his love to others. Its a fact that no one person can make everyone happy at the same time. But if we read Gods word and obey what it says then God is happy and were doing things correctly. Were not here to please man but to please God. The truth is the truth whether its hard or easy to swallow. So bottom line as for me and my family we serve the Lord and the leadership at Home Fellowship clearly and decisively delivers the truth.

5 /5 Tina Gilbert: Since arriving at this church in April 2022, Ive felt "at home". My church is down to earth and wholesome. The teaching is in-depth, verse-by-verse, solid Biblical teaching! I feel so blessed to be part of this Truth-based fellowship, and love them all as my family!! I love that Pastor Darin isnt afraid to teach even "the hard truths" from the Word. We need to be READY to be Christs witnesses in this struggling world.

1 /5 Reagan Layne Chevalier: This is a wonderful place if you like an ever present feeling of discomfort. This place is amazing if you always want to feel a little off all the time. However, if you value your peace find fellowship elsewhere. This place will seem sweet at first and you will feel at home for awhile. Yet as time goes on the people leading you will cost you more and more of your peace and by the time that you leave it will have been too darn expensive. This place taught me that there is a difference between godly doing and godly living. You can act godly, do good deeds, you may even speak godly all the time (I’ve heard stories where this leadership has not) but if you are not godly in your heart and in your being you cannot lead people to a place of godly being. Godly living means no judgment, it means showing grace (not requiring instant obedience from scared children), it means not yelling at your staff, it means not getting offended when someone asks you to change your behavior towards them because you are crossing their boundaries. Godly living is humility not endless pride, it’s listening not believing you’re always right. Your peace is worth more. You are worth more.

5 /5 Brett Allred: Very family place. Like a family reunion every week. Teaching is only from the Bible. So glad we were led here. God is great.
