Pastor Brandon's Bible teaching is easy to understand and I find that I can apply it to my life immediately.

After more than 20 years at Calvary Church Clearwater, I can honestly say this is a place for real…read morepeople--not perfect people. It's a church full of broken, imperfect folks who are simply doing their best to follow Jesus, and that authenticity is what has kept our family here for so long. Like any large church, there have been seasons where decisions didn't sit well with everyone. But one thing I've learned over the years is that there are always two sides to every story, and the public usually only hears one. I've seen firsthand that Pastor Willy and the leadership team are thoughtful, kind, and prayerful people who genuinely seek to make decisions they believe are necessary for the health and future of the church. This is a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church that stays grounded in truth while still creating space for grace and growth. Yes, it's a big church--but if you get involved in a ministry or join a Life Group, it quickly feels much smaller and more personal. That's where real connection happens. I'm also continually encouraged by the impact beyond the walls: planting over 150 churches, helping revitalize struggling ones, sending more than 150 people into missions, and supporting over 150 children through foster care and adoption. That kind of outward focus says a lot. At the end of the day, it's a community of sinners--just like me--walking together and trying to follow Jesus a little more faithfully each day. And that's a place worth being.

Calvary has been my church for about 15 months now. The church is huge...but it is also small and…read morecontains family. I will explain in a moment. Calvary is large and comfortable with all of the amenities. You could come into a service and be left alone if you desired. You could have privacy and solitude without giving away your information. You could also do what I did and dive full in. You could experience every facet that this church has to offer and become even better for it. You could join a small group and hence join a church family. This is where you build lasting relationships and fellowship. This is where you find your support team. Your friends...your family. Don't let the size of the church or parking lot intimidate you. We have plenty of parking and plenty of space inside. You can come in any of the main entrances. We are a very friendly church and several people will greet you on your way in. We will not ask questions or for your information however. This is how it works. There are two services: 9:15am and 11am. There are also many groups that meet during both sermons. We have childcare too. Your children will learn about the bible and have fun while you are free to attend service and/ or a group. On a typical Sunday most members of the church pick a service and pick a group or volunteer for the other service. I personally tend to go to the first service followed by a group second service. Once a month, I attend first service and volunteer second service in the Children's area. Volunteering is optional, but there are many areas to do so if you would like to give back to the church. I like to volunteer for the New Here area for special services too (like Christmas Candlelight). Speaking of giving back, it is explained that the tithing is for members and guests are not expected to donate. We also have online donations available, so no one even knows if you are donating in service or how much. That is between God and you. As far as amenities go...our church is very nice. We have free coffee every Sunday (the pecan praline is amazing). We have a cafe if you wish to buy a pastry or something else. We have tons of comfortable seats. Our air conditioning is cold (I normally bring a sweater). We have a full band with electric guitars, drums, piano, etc. We have spotlights and televisions. Our lyrics are displayed so that you can sing along with the worship music (which we typically stand for). It's an amazing place to worship. Our Pastor is Pastor Willy. He does a phenomenal job of discussing the scripture and relating it to real life. He often uses humor, statistics, quotes, and real life scenarios. Ironically, Pastor Willy once addressed the fact that Calvary has reviews in a sermon. He mentioned Yelp. It was quite amusing. I personally find that the time flies by and that I learn something almost every Sunday. There have been a few times I have disagreed with something he has said, but that is an opportunity too. He generally has a very well thought out and enlightening sermon. All of our other Pastors are really helpful as well. I have had personal experiences with three other Pastors. I will say that they were all really there for me when I lost a family member too (even though I was new to the church at the time). I highly recommend Calvary. You have nothing to lose by trying it out. If you need someone to sit with you or someone to talk to about the church or God...please reach out. I will be here every Sunday unless I am out of town. That is another thing I should mention..we share our services live on Facebook too. This is great if you are sick or out of town. You could also use it to check us out before attending. However, I will say that the services are much more powerful in person. I hope to see you there.

Love this church so much. My family has been here for 8 years! Incredible teaching and community.read more

Then there is a more recent experience I had with Bldg 28 Church. Christmas 2022 was approaching…read moreand pastor Aaron kept inviting everyone, regardless of age, to attend the young adult's Christmas party. So I decided to go, even though I was 67 years old. These folks are all white. There was one token black on staff, but he left. I arrive and no one greets me, so I just walk in and roam around. They had a ping pong table, so I stood nearby watching. A guy walks over and asks me if I am going on the Israel trip. Nope. But it turns out he is a US Navy officer. I was in the Navy for 4 years back in the 80s, so we talked about military stuff for awhile. Other than that, the only other person to even say hello was Dani - a cute young lady who was on staff and Niko, a young man who attened my home group with his parents. It felt like I was invisible, but I knew that people saw me - they just ignored me. Basically, the same reaction I get when I walk in to a bar or any room. Then it was time for the Gift Exchange. A weird custom that Christians have where they bring "white elephant" (gag) gifts to give others. Dani said, "Everyone grab a chair and form a cirlce!" So I grabbed a chair and walked over to where people were forming a circle. I was actively impeded and hip-checked out of the cirlce and wound up sitting alone behind the cirlce. Yet everyone pretended not to notice. No one spoke up and said, "hey, make room for Mr. Sanders." They just proceeded as if I wasn't there. I sat there for 10 minutes and watched - and waited. Nothing. So I got up and left. I thought, "wow, that was a mistake." At least 50 so-called Christians showing just how selfish they really are. Refusing to exercise hospitality or even basic courtesy. All because I was not one of them. Even though I was ostensibly their "brother in Christ," I was not part of their generation. I was a hated "boomer." I discovered first hand that ageism is as real as racism. Young people blame old people for their problems. They hate us. At least alot of them do. And even if the "world" acts this way, I expected better from the church. But nope. They are even worse in some ways. More arrogant. There is no hate like "Christian love."

If you're looking to have an encounter with God, Harborside Christian Church is the place to…read moreexperience Him in a deeper and meaningful way. My wife and I have been members for over 4 years and are very active in a few ministries including high school and as prayer partners. The teaching is grounded in Scripture and relevant to your daily walk. The Senior Pastor is Kurt Parker, who leads with integrity and a heart for seeing the next generation become church leaders. Other pastors teach in rotation who are equally sound in their teaching the Word of God. The worship experience is Spirit-filled, and the focus is more on praising our Creator and not on yourself. The worship leaders are talented and have produced their own music and shared on Spotify and CDs. The size of the congregation varies on the season. More attend when snowbirds are in town. But the fellowship is solid--especially if you're in a small group. That's where growth and intimacy flourish. There are two services: 9am and 10:30am. In short, Harborside carries out their mission faithfully: "To love and lead people into encounters with the fullness of God." Come and see for yourself.
