Dr. Cosby is first and foremost a teacher. A very good and knowledgable teacher. He really does try to give understanding of what is in the Bible. Not his own interpretations but the word "For the Bible says" (he says that a lot) "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." Matthew 7:15 NIV Those of you that appreciate studying the word will love Service as well as Bible study (wednesday). The several wonderful choirs (Hanq is the minister of music), programs for youth, elderly, families, singles, young adults etc. if you can't make it watch online, download podcasts, buy tapes at the bookstore. There are so many ways to get yourself secured in the word of God. There are many things to help you not only in your spiritual journey but also the realities of life. I have taken theology in school for many years and this church just helps to increase my understanding. That's what people of faith should strive for...not to know all that is divine but to have knowledge of what is true about God and what is corruption of the Word. Know Him for yourself not what someone else has told you to be the truth. This church offers that guidance to get you there.

I have been attending Wheeler snce my sons were children, but had joined another church. I feel the…read moreLord led me back to Wheeler. This is where the uncompromising word of God is preached. This is where Jesus is lifted up always. Even though the church has a large membership and growing, there are 4 services, so the effort has been made for all to attend. There is bible study, many programs to help with everyday life. The ushers and greeters are friendly. I would recommend this church if you want to grow in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. AND, if you want to learn the bible,, the truth of God's word. I pray the Lord continues to bless this wonderful body of Christians, led by William Lawson, Pastor emeritus and Dr. Cosby, the Pastor of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church. Pastor Cosby and others have strived to make this a warm and friendly church environment and a great help to the community, also.

Why 5 stars? Because we loved everything about sending our son here…read more --- --- --- When we first moved to the area, we sent our son to another daycare. We thought things were going great there until about one year into it, we were told that our son was not progressing and that they recommended we look into other schools with smaller student:teacher ratios. My wife ended up finding a couple of options, and we landed on Grace Lutheran as the best spot. Our time here was only about four months, but we really loved it. We only ended up leaving because our son was enrolled in full-time ABA therapy. But if not for that, we absolutely would have kept him here until he started Kindergarten. Every staff member we ever dealt with was incredibly friendly and seemed like they genuinely enjoyed their job. And make no mistake, it is no easy job. Dealing with my own kid's issues is hard enough, I cannot imagine having to deal with several of them every day. These people are true saints. If I could change anything about Grace Lutheran, there are really only two things, but both are minor: 1) The first school we went to provided lunch, but Grace Lutheran did not. At first, I thought this would be a pretty major issue, but it really wasn't that big of a deal to send our son to school with a packed lunch. But if I had my choice, I would have preferred the school to make lunch. 2) They rarely uploaded photos of the kids at school. The first daycare we ever sent him to in Tampa would upload 10-20 photos a day, but most of them were blurry and near duplicates of other photos. That was excessive and pointless. But at Grace Lutheran, the might only upload one photo a month. A middle ground would be ideal, just to see the kids in action. But again, I understand the hectic nature of just keeping the kids out of trouble and that it's probably not easy to find time to take pictures. Overall, this is an excellent place to take your kiddo. If we could go back in time, we would have sent him here from day one!

But after my son has had amazing teachers for both Pre-K4 and Kindergarten, I can without a doubt say that we've had nothing but great experiences with this school. The teachers are in constant communication with the parents and my son has learned so much! They really do work with each child individually to make sure each child succeeds. I also love that they have the little kids team up with the bigger kids for chapel. My son's "chapel buddy" (a 4th grader) is so sweet with him! We've also seen him at the little league baseball field and he always gives my son a hug (which makes my son BEAM). This school truly shows God's love by how the staff and teachers treat their students and parents.
