I am not a member of Volusia County Baptist Church but I have visited the church a few times. It is…read morea larger church but still maintains a loving atmosphere where every member and every visitor is important. I was impressed upon my first visit because I'm not accustomed to attending a larger Independent Baptist Church. The size wasn't what impressed me though. The 70+ member choir was nice; the 15+ member orchestra...very nice; members who are happy & willing to visit guests to the church who are open to church visits is nice; but what impressed me most was that two of the front row sections were filled with some youth of the church. This alone wasn't solely what impressed me about the youth. When a member informed me that this group of youth took it upon themselves to sit up front...the Pastor or Pastoral team did not ask them to do so and neither did the Youth Leaders. To see young men and women who choose not only to be in church but sit up front...the world appears to have so much to offer their peers and they choose Christ. Bravo young men and women of Volusia County Baptist Church. I enjoyed the messages by the Pastor. I do want to keep updated on events they are having. One yearly event I'm definitely looking forward to is their Christmas gift to the community where they host a Journey To Jerusalem (that might not be the actual event name but close). I was able to attend last Christmas season but definitely plan to visit them this Christmas season. Don't let the size of the church be a deciding factor. Even though it's a larger congregation than I've ever been a member of...you AREN'T just a number. To explain my last comment I'll share this...my roommate and I were eating at our favorite restaurant in Deland recently. The Pastor of Volusia County Baptist Church & his wife and another couple were seated at the table beside us. Even though it had been months since my visit to the church the Pastor remembered me. Anyway, I can testify that this church teaches and preaches sound Doctrine NOT headlines, social commentary, or some "feel good" message. They teach and preach God's Word...the Holy Bible. So this is my unbiased observation of Volusia County Baptist Church. Btw, I like their Associate Pastor as well. He and I happen to be Carolina guys. Just threw that last comment to give a thumbs up to another South Carolina fellow.

I am writing this to speak up for those individuals who have gone to the church for help and were…read moreturned away and who feel like speaking up is speaking against their church, but after observations made and multiple people have reached out for help and they didn't help, that someone needs to speak up! This church constantly asks its congregation to give financially--even urging people to donate to global initiatives like "Kingdom Builders" telling them to give when they cannot afford it or when its their last and those members actually giving their last; guest pastors telling people indirectly to give up their homes if they are directed to by God or asking members to give large sums of money $. Yet, when their own members face a crisis, the church offers virtually zero meaningful support, not even help with resources who can help, prays with you (hallelujah for prayer because prayer works) and then they send them on their way to deal with it alone and their only hope being that God makes a way because we all know that God always makes a way even when the church doesn't help, not even with finding resources to help sadly, but God will always make a way. Instead of real assistance, families in need are handed a prayer and a hope, and the hungry are given a single bag of mismatched canned goods that wouldn't feed a household for a single day let alone make enough meals to last a few weeks as the pastor stated (not that they are ungrateful by any means, they just would like to know what meals can be made from them is all.) When members seek help, leadership automatically assumes they are just begging for money. They offer unsolicited financial lectures, even pressuring recent high school graduates who still need life guidance themselves causing them to feel badly and then they walk away from the church because they feel humiliated. In reality, people in crisis are often just looking for resources, guidance, or physical help because they cannot manage alone. To be written off by your home church, or treated as an irritation by a pastor where it feels like a sarcastic comment that "this has been going on for a long time," trust us that person knows this already and doesn't need a snide remark to remind them--especially for individuals dealing with a crisis or chronic illness. Pastor preaches that its in Gods time yet makes comments like this which is disheartening and hurtful to those individuals. Furthermore, systemic support is lacking. While states like New York, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia have resources for those in need, Florida lags severely behind despite its massive homeless population. It is heartbreaking to see unhoused individuals and families, even individuals in wheelchairs, left without basic daily living needs to sleep in the streets. We need to wake up: while local donations are shipped off to help other countries, the vulnerable families, children, and individuals right here at home are being completely abandoned and even by the churches that are being supported by members who may eventually need help too. It may not be you at this moment, but everyone eventually faces struggles at some point in life! Just know that this church won't help you, so don't bother asking for help or even for help finding resources that will help.

Don't walk away RUN from this church... been attending for nearly two years and not one sermon from him or the other pastors about correlating todays events to the book of revelation! No meat and potatoes found here unfortunately! He is not shepherding his flock! Pastor speaks out of both sides of his mouth during his own sentence! It breaks my heart to have wasted so much of my time. I don't understand why the elders continue to remain in place as a few have spoken to us directly and agree with us and further tell us that they've tried to talk to the pastor and he just ignores them too! Not sure why they are remaining there as elders... guess they are all ok with having to answer for that when we meet our maker! Shame to this pastor for leading so many astray including the young pastor he is 'mentoring'. Please pray for this church, members and those in leadership roles- they need the scales removed from their eyes! I pray they wake up before it's too late!
