The person I spoke is not representative of what a church should be. She sounded like she was in…read morethe middle of an argument or something talking to me. I would not go to this church unless you like angry people. I'm a Minister, but the loving kind. I was crying, and I can't believe she spoke to me that way. I can't wait to get out of Florida, so many people here are downright rude, standoffish, among other things. People openly talk about how my body looks here like I can't hear them- body shaming is a big thing nowadays, and I've heard a TON of it since I've been here. I think I'm beautiful and am sorry my body is so triggering lol for so many of you. Ive also met some very amazing people here, but when the majority leans the other way (at least in the areas I've been in) I'm out. I mean seriously the police here were probably the nicest people I met for any extended period of time. The police were more kind and comforting to me than an angry woman at a CHURCH. If you don't know about God/Jesus etc. and this place was your first experience, and it went badly- I really hope you don't give up, and think that is what it's about- cause it's not. Call another church until you find somewhere that feels to good to you. Generally speaking- you should leave a church feeling uplifted, and supported in case life gets ya.

2nd review...I have been attending between The Source and Bayside Commonity LWR ongoing for the…read morepast few years. They are very different style churches...This review is to highlight the Source Church on 301. The Source church is focused on changing ppls lives in/ through Christ, and I have seen many miracles there. Pastors Ralph and Pastor Joanne are passionate, knowledgeable and legit in their ministry. They are bible based, and filled with the spirit. The praise and worship is often spirit moving and leads my spitit to tears in a good way often. The Source provides small groups, business related, couples related and a newly formed singles groups, in addition to child care for Sunday services and one off counseling when needed. ( call the office for details if in crisis ) It is a smaller church with a big heart. Check them out at 9 and 11- Sundays attend a live service or inquire at the info center Sundays in the Hub. You meet the nicest people at Church. CU thère.

The Source church has been more than a place to go on Sundays for me. They have become family who…read moregenuinely care about how I'm doing Monday - Saturday. Some of the best people I have ever met, I met at the Source Church, including my now husband. On top of all of that, they are Biblical based and believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. I grew up in church but my relationship with Jesus has never been deeper than it is now. Under the leadership of Pastors Ralph & Joanne, I've been able to let go of religious strongholds that were actually never Biblical in the first place and truly pursue God's truth and promises for my life. If you're looking to stay the same, the Source Church is not for you because you will be radically changed by the power and presence of God.

This Church has been a lifeline for me and my family. My life was radically changed through the…read moreministry of Pastor Eason and First Lady Eason. I was introduced to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit in this church 13 years ago. My marriage was restored, addictions were broken, healing has taken place and much more. All because the Pastor preaches the word with Boldness and Truth. Lives are being transformed on a regular basis. And I love that everyone is involved in serving from the children to the seniors. It's a great place to call HOME!!!

We visited recently and though everyone was very welcoming and friendly, wonderful people and a…read moregreat environment; there was no worship in the worship music. The band was great, but the music was not about praising and worshiping Jesus. The message was not about the Gospel and Good News, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ our savior. There were references to "god" and a greater power- but not the Power of the Almighty who Loves us personally. This is not a place to find a Savior, a God who can change your life and your eternity. It might be welcoming and friendly, but it does not present Biblical Truth, and the Saving Grace of God. Beware.

Community is in the name for a reason. This church is not a place that judges and beats you down…read morewith a bible trying to make you fear an afterlife of hell. This is a place that helps you heal, uses the bible to share insight on modern challenges and goes above and beyond to help the community. The focus is on Christ and serving others. All who walk through the door will be loved for who they are and not how much they donate. The worship band is extremely talented. The Christmas and Easter services are worthy of being on television every year and there are many events throughout the year that are free for families. Professional nursery and services for the little ones, youth ministry for the older ones. Skip the long wait at the local restaurants for a Sunday morning meal because they have a coffee/breakfast bar that has great food and coffee with some healthy options at very affordable prices. They do oil changes for FREE to anyone who needs one on the last Saturday of every month. Finding the right church is a very personal opinion. Wars have been started over religion since the beginning of time. This church has PHD pastors who have studied at major, accredited universities. They are doing the best that they know how to and can. If your beliefs line up with their message, you have found a welcoming home. If they don't, they will wish you peace on your journey. They don't pass judgement and they don't pass an offering plate.

I found among these people, a refreshed faith through the sound teaching and preaching of the scriptures that sustains me still today, a family to walk with me in my suffering during my mom's hospitalization and passing, and hope for today and tomorrow as I continue to grow through the encouraging testimonies of what God in doing in others lives when they put their trust in Him and through my personal experience as I give myself to his service; loving, giving and going as He prompts me to. Please come visit us and see what He is doing and can do in your life!!!

I would never attend there because they blew me off. I have never attended a MEGA church because I feel this church is all about making tax free money; the speaker seems more like a motivational coach then a minister trying to portray the teaching of the word.

The live worship leader, who followed up after the message, promoted the book for sale. This made me very uncomfortable and I've spent the weeks since thinking about sellers in the church service and not his wonderful message. Also, no one greeted me at any time during the service and the music was way too loud. I don't like leaving a negative review for a church, but they don't provide a comment card and it's way more important for a church to get it right than a restaurant or boutique.
