This weekend my husband and I went and worshipped with my family at the Church by the Sea. We enjoyed Dr. Dave and his opening up the Word, but there was something else that Dr. Dave did that showed his love for others. After the children from the Sunday School sang for the congregation, Dr. Dave got on his knees so that he would be able to look into each child's eye. He then gathered their hands in his and prayed over them. Now this might not be a huge thing or something that happens all the time, but Dr. Dave cared about the children over his own pain. You see this Thursday Dr. Dave is going in to endure another knee replacement surgery. Thank you for showing Christ's love and for the blessing to those little one's hearts, Dr. Dave. May you feel HIs love, peace, and grace on each step of this journey. read more

We had been members for years so it pains me to write this review. My special needs sister accidentally donated an engraved snow globe our deceased father left her to CBTS thrift store. She went down to try and get it back. The ministers wife was so nasty she actually burst into tears. Luckily an older woman took pity on her and allowed her to look and locate the snow globe. The ministers wife then proceeded to charge my special needs sister for the globe. This is also weeks after my family donated china and silver to the thrift store. What would Jesus do? Not treat the disabled like this. read more

If you are looking for a Bible based Church, this is it. Jeff, the Pastor knows the Bible! He, in my opinion, TEACHES not preaches. He is very humble and caring. If you want to feel the presents of the Lord and see Jesus working come to a service at Church by the Sea right off Gulf blvd in Maderia Beach. I go to the 11:00 service they also have an earlier service at 8:30. read more
