Manatee Life Church

What are services like?
While we’re the oldest church of any denomination south of Tampa on Florida’s west coast, we are far from old-fashioned. We enjoy traditional hymns but add newer ones. Sermons are Biblical but relevant to today’s world. We sing, we pray, we laugh, and we study scripture. We learn how we can be God’s hands and feet in this world.

What is the community like?
We actually are a multicultural church… but would welcome more people from all areas and backgrounds. We tend to be a great place for people coming back to church after an absence, who remember their younger years in churches but who want a modern, caring, loving, and accepting faith community that has active ministries. We have members who have been here for decades along with new folks who wandered by and ended up staying!

What if I'm not a Christian?
The current pastor didn’t come back to the church until his 40’s, so he understands the questions one might have. We strive to speak in simple English, with no assumptions that you know the Bible or fancy “preacher” words. Our Wednesday lunches are great times to ask the BIG questions… and we’ll be honest if we don’t know the answers! Together we can learn what God wants of us!
