The Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea…read more This is one of the most beautiful churches I've ever visited -- not just in Florida, but anywhere. The architecture feels very Italian-inspired, with stunning details, fresco-like elements, and a timeless elegance that immediately transports you somewhere in Europe. The grounds are just as magical as the building itself. There's a peaceful courtyard with a small pond where you can feed fish -- such a calming and quiet spot, perfect for slowing down and enjoying the moment. We've also attended their Easter celebration, and it's absolutely beautiful for families. They organize a children's egg hunt (5 eggs per child), but honestly, it's more about the experience than the quantity. The atmosphere is warm, festive, and incredibly well organized. People are genuinely kind and welcoming. One of the most memorable parts is the live organ music during Easter -- it creates such a powerful and almost mesmerizing atmosphere. Be prepared: if you plan to go inside the church on Easter, there is usually a long line. With kids, it can be a bit challenging. However, they thoughtfully provide a large outdoor screen with a live stream of the service, so you can still enjoy everything from the courtyard. Parking can be tricky -- mostly street parking around the church. A little tip: you can park near The Breakers Palm Beach and take a short walk,and the area itself is beautiful.

Let the record show: I am writing this review to inform, not to attack…read more In June 2025, I reported a sexual assault by a member of Family Church Young Adults. From the beginning, my experience has been deeply disappointing. Instead of pastoral care, I was met with disbelief, spiritual manipulation, and attempts to silence me "for the sake of unity." I was told that if I spoke out, I would be causing division in the body of Christ. No one from leadership consistently walked alongside me, checked on my well-being, or provided meaningful protection (as they are trained and obligated to do). At one point, I was even pressured to meet face-to-face with my perpetrator to "hash things out" and "get to the bottom of the truth," because "it was possible that I had misunderstood the whole situation." This was neither safe nor biblical. The church also allowed my perpetrator to attend our co-ed overnight Young Adults retreat, despite my expressed concerns and discomfort. When I continued to raise concerns and finally went public after three months of isolation, I was removed and banned from fellowship--told not to attend church gatherings at any Family Church location, or I would be trespassed and arrested on sight. Leadership even attempted to criminally charge me for exercising my constitutional right to speak out online. Family Church went so far as to post police outside a Tuesday night Bible study. The West Palm Beach Police Department confirmed the church had no case against me. However, these extreme actions have now drawn further scrutiny and launched a larger investigation into the church's handling of abuse. Scripture is clear: "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them" (Ephesians 5:11). Unity is never built by covering sin; it is built on truth and accountability. I am now working with law enforcement and legal counsel because what I experienced at Family Church was not only a failure of leadership but also potentially a violation of victim protection rights. This is not about one individual's sin but about how leadership chooses to handle serious allegations. If you are considering attending here, please know: churches should be safe places where victims are believed, protected, and shepherded with care. Sadly, that was not my experience at Family Church--nor has it been the experience of others, who are now coming forward because of my bold stance. I pray they choose repentance, transparency, and true biblical accountability moving forward. But until then, prospective members should ask: What are they hiding? And how many others have been silenced?

I wanted to experience the love of God in action. I wanted to hear joyful praise music. Finally, I discovered Family Church and I love it! The lead pastor Jimmy teaches straight from the Bible. Pastor Jimmy is authentic, humble, sometimes funny, relatable, and has a high regard for the Bible. He's a spectacular teacher. I've never been bored or sleepy during one of his services. The staff is really warm and helpful, you certainly will be made to feel welcomed. The congregation is friendly, welcoming, nonjudgmental. If you need prayer for something they will pray with you and for you. The contemporary music is gorgeous, each song selected is based on truth. Not only is the music uplifting and entertaining, it is worshipful and inspires the praise and awe that glorifies the Lord. I was surprised to discover the high level of talent in the music ministry. It is really a blessing. Childcare is available. There are many opportunities to connect in smaller groups. There are ample opportunities to serve if that's of interest to you. The youth ministries are really fantastic and if my children were not adults, I'd be delighted to have them involved with such encouraging people pointing them to a relationship with Jesus. Family Church Downtown encourages and supports young people to grow spiritually, to learn the Bible and to spread the Good News. Family Church has people from the very young to the aged. There are many ministries available in other languages, and services for hearing impaired people. If you're seeking a Bible believing church home, I would highly recommend checking out Family Church. If you're young, old or in the middle, married or divorced have a huge family or are all alone, whatever your background, culture, skin tone, political leanings, rich or poor, Family Church will welcome you.
