St. Anthony Catholic Church - Fort Lauderdale (FL)

Ariel W. The First Christian Church of Ft Lauderdale was started by Maude Bollinger and Ruth Repp who offered Sunday school classes on Repps front porch to the Ft Lauderdale community which was only 143 people at that time. Church services were held at several locations in Ft. Lauderdale including the old Fort Lauderdale Sentinel building. In 1925, a benefactor donated land for a church at the corner of Southeast 13th Street and Southeast Third Avenue on the site of a former rock pit. Lumber to build the church arrived on Sept. 16, 1926. The very next day the Hurricane of 1926 destroyed the church records, lumber, the tent they were working out of, and all of their equipment. Two children and two adult members of the congregation lost their lives. The church rose from this devastating loss and completed the church building in 1927. A later expanded building incorporates the original church structure. I love a historic church and I was able to check out First Christian Church of Ft Lauderdale during a tag sale. They held the sale in their basement! I was amazed that there was a building with an actual basement in South Florida. The congregation was so warm and welcoming and I got invited to church service by Katherine. This church is gorgeous and you can feel the history within its walls. Church services are held every Sunday at 10:45.

Thomas Glaser A beautiful and spiritual church with a great priest and wonderful cantor. Close your eyes and let the cantor accompanied by a classic pipe organ take you to a higher place!

Jaclyn Graff This was my first Candlelight experience and it was amazing. Collins Quartet x Fleetwood Mac x The Sanctuary Fort Lauderdale Church x Candlelight Concert = The Best. I will definitely go again.

Eliot Rocks Grew up at this church and still go there. The lead Pastor is a man of God, and preaches the the gospel. Definitely visit, it wont disappoint. They proclaim the truth of scripture. Everyone is very friendly and there are a lot of young families and kids in the services.

Cynthia T. Bougouneau Allan - Davis A church where the Born Again Believes in Christ Jesus worship God in spirit and in truth. The Word of God, the Bible is preached as it is written...nothing added and nothing deducted. The saints are determined to walk straight with God...no compromising. Every time there is a gathering in the Lords name, his Holy Spirits presence is sensed. I love to gather there!

Ronald Brugler I am so glad I found this church! I have attended twice. The pastors message both times related to real life and how God is present with us. The music has been amazing. And, the people have been very.friendly. I will be back!

Andrea Tomasini I recently became a member of this wonderful church, and it has been a truly amazing experience. The sense of community here is remarkable, and Im excited to be a part of it. Overall, its a place where faith and fellowship come together beautifully. I would recommend First Pres to anyone that is looking for a church to call home.

Tammi Wade I recently madethis my church home! I was baptized on Sunday so of course Im biased. I attend to praise, worship and receive a Word from God but it also helps that the people there are like family.

Andrea Nelson My mother Patricia C use teach Sunday school to older ladies and I use a tend youth group. This place was 2nd home and my mother loved the church Pastor Steven and all the people. Great loving place. ❤️
