Williams Temple Church of God in Christ Family Ministries - Gainesville (FL)

Bonnie Tomlinson We got much need food from these wonderful people. We are retired and living on Social Security. And with food prices doubling and tripling we were blessed to receive their blessing of food! God bless them all! Its hard to be out of food at our age.

Christine Kim Love their Thursday prayer nights at 7pm. They have soaking prayer for an hour, short sermon, and then pray for people, individually if you need one.

Jason Hartz I’m very excited to have found such a beautiful community.

Giselle Gauthier Wonderful place to find spiritual fulfillment regardless of your personal beliefs. I am agnostic -- neither religious or atheist -- and made some great friends here. They do not discriminate based on gender or sexual expression. The youth group is well-run. Most of all, they practice the teachings of Jesus in the way they were intended -- with love and acceptance.

Elizabeth Watkins I love this church. You feel right at home soon as you walk in the doors, pastor Arnold is amazing as well as everyone else. This church will always hold a special place in my heart! Everyone is very nice and willing to help you with whatever you need. Shawna Edwards is an awesome member of this church who goes above and beyond helping the less fortunate.

Dedrah Mathis This church really helped me at such a low point in my life. I was kind of alone living in Gainesville for school, but this the members of this congregation became family with such genuine love. They taught me how to follow God in a biblical way, which ultimately, changed my life forever! I’m currently a part of our sister church in a different city, but the GICC will always have my heart! I highly recommend it to anyone & everyone

Shelby Powell The Family Church is a warm and welcoming environment for those interested in learning about Jesus. Pastor Philip is a world-class educator. His messages simultaneously encourage and challenge while also providing scriptural context and understanding. This church as a whole does an excellent job with community outreach and offers a wide range of services, including a free kids boutique and benevolence program. The Sunday morning worship isnt as flashy or concert-like as some other churches, but its sincere and enjoyable.

Wendy May I haven’t been there we are new to the area I am familiar with the catholic ways I’m Roman Catholic and I come from Washington Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh pa. My family is all catholic and friends. I came to your church as an alternative today I called the closer church near our home in High springs Florida.

Well I called your church today and Mr mark helped us and miss debbie and the congregation I just want to thank you all and the good Lord for your kindness our septic system was filled up and didn’t know it until an over flow of raw sewage over flowed in other parts of the house. Thanks to you all we will be indebted to you all if we can make crafts to sale or food for your church fundraisers let us know. We will help in anyway. Thank you again and God Bless you all! Wendy, Tammy, and Jimmy

Trent Woodham Vida Springs is a phenomenal church. I have been attending church here for several years now and I have been very thankful for the community that Ive found. Vida Springs is a very warm and welcoming church that genuinely has a heart for people. I moved here for college and quickly found my best friends upon attending this church. At Vida the Sunday morning talks are centered around biblical passages and the message of Jesus Christ is always preached. The leadership here is extremely humble and always growing, challenging, and loving the community. This church genuinely feels like a family that constantly looks to encourage, correct, and do life with each other.

Trellisnichole I was new to Gainesville and kept hearing about Springhill. I, along with some co-workers, attended a Women’s Day program there one Saturday…it was great; so I went back for Bible Study that next Tuesday and the rest is history. I love Springhill. It is home. It’s a place to heal. A place to teach & be taught, a place to work & a place of respite. In the words of our sanging, praying, teaching Pastor, “An Amen goes right there!”
