You Don't have to Pastor Alone

Pastoring was designed to be a global partnership. And we help you find the right partners throughout the Suncoast of Florida.

Welcome

We are a family of New Testament churches partnering together to carry out the Great Commission—right here on the Florida Suncoast and to the ends of the earth. Our heart is to see lives transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, disciples made, and new churches multiplied until every person in our communities has the opportunity to hear and respond to His good news. Through prayer, healthy churches, pastoral support, and cooperative partnerships, we seek to join God in His mission—pursuing spiritual awakening, raising up trained leaders, and equipping churches to reach the lost with the life-changing hope of Christ.
