I have attended services and watched online from NY for a few years now, and love the biblically sound teaching. If you are looking for a better understanding of who Jesus is, this is a wonderful place to come. Seek, and you shall find! Thank you for welcoming our family, Victory!

Churches are losing members consistently and it is stupid reasons, like mine, that they are leaving. This "church" appears to be growing but time will tell. During the services, I needed to go to the restroom so like any grown adult with three older children, I went during the services. Upon my return, I was confronted by an Usher who informed me that I cannot return to my seat beside my family as it was, "a distraction to the sermon". I could sit in the back of the auditorium but not with my family. I argued for a minute, quietly, but it was not worth arguing with this individual. Not only did I NOT return to the back of the auditorium, but I also left and went to the parking lot and enjoyed nature while waiting on my family. Wishing this "church" the best of luck but this family will NOT return and hopefully, this message finds its way to leadership, not that it would matter, the money is where it matters. I gave it two stars only because the Minister speaking was really good for the half I heard. Probably was a good second half too but I'll never know, except what my family told me.

Many of my best friendships have been built here (even ended up meeting my husband). Every Sunday, worship is great and the preaching is never "surface level." I am always both challenged and uplifted by pastors who love Jesus. Throughout the week, there is always (truly ALWAYS) something going on -- LifeGroups, youth groups, theology classes, marriage courses, and more. I love that there is also ministry happening here through Spanish River Counseling Center, School, and around the world through the amazing Church Planting network. Thankful to have been led to such a wonderful church that kept me anchored both throughout my college years and today!

This is solely a review for the mommy and me program at Spanish River. I was a member of the mommy…read moreand me program last year and was very outcasted from day 1. They make you feel like if you are not apart of their church or their cliques you are an outsider. I went for two rounds of ten program or whatever you wanna call it and never made a single friend. I am VERY outgoing and thrive in social settings so I can assure you it was not me. These women are rude, cliquey, and judging at all times. I am not the first person to say this. I've made several mom friends who also gave this place a try and said the same exact thing. In fact just this week my friend walked out mid circle time because she wasn't feeling the vibe which is what prompted me to find a review page for this unfortunate mess of a support system. My friend had all the same complaints I did and I did tell her beforehand, but she really wanted to give it a chance. It's a shame because as someone who is not "religious" this is exactly why I can't get behind these programs with these churches. Not one of these women extended a heart, helping hand, or kind word once in the several months I was there. Very hypocritical and not very Godly behavior. Do better.

Let me state off the bat that I am not religious. Never have been, never will be. That being said,…read moreI love Christmas music, and try to go to church on Christmas Eve each year. Coming here for their candlelight service always puts me in the holiday spirit. Growing up, my mom always brought me here, since it was (and still is) our neighborhood church right on the border of Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach. We've always called it the pink church, as did everyone else. Seems like they've finally embraced the name, because it's now officially called "The Pink Church: First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach." Walking in, you're immediately struck with how big this place is inside. It's always beautifully decorated for the holidays, with trees lining the sides and poinsettias all along the front. Since I only ever go for the Christmas Eve candlelight service, I don't know how the other services are run. When you walk in, you are handed a program with all of the "lessons" as well as songs that will be sung during the service, and a candle that you'll light at the end. This year's service was the best one I've seen yet, with a great selection of music. Most of the songs the congregation can sing along to, but there are some songs for only the choir or soloists. Toward the end, an usher comes to the end of each pew and lights the first person's candle, until all of the candles are lit. The service always ends with Silent Night, and it's beautiful. I may not be religious, but I can't help but leave here feeling more peaceful. All of the ushers are very friendly, and as everyone makes their way to the exits, most of the congregation wishes each other a Merry Christmas, even to strangers like us :) This year even the pastor came up to us at the end, and she was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Although we are only ever here once a year, we never feel out of place, and it's just one of the many reasons we continue to visit. We'll be back next year! Merry Christmas!

I was attending for a while, but life became extremely busy between my exotic car and boat business, my oceanfront marina and island project, and my son Jake's foundation. But I have to say this from my heart: every time I walk into this church, I walk out a different man. There is something very special about the spirit, the people, and the love you feel there. Everyone is first class. The pastor, the worship team, the band, the singers, and the entire church family are truly good people who love God and make you feel welcome. This Church baptized me there, so this church will always have a special place in my heart. I am very thankful for that, and I am definitely going back to church tomorrow morning. God bless this church, the pastor, George, and everyone who makes it such a beautiful place to worship. CIO

As a fan of history, architecture, and historic churches, I have always admired this lovely…read moreMediterranean style church off of Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. The land this church sits on was once a sour orange grove, the only recognizable feature in the wilderness between Lake Worth and Biscayne Bay. A haulover, a place where boats were dragged over land from one body of water to another was named for the orange grove. In 1876 the Orange Grove House of Refuge opened to save the lives of mariners who shipwrecked off the coast. As settlers came to the area once called Linton and then Delray Beach. refuge keeper, Stephen N. Andrews, suggested that the main street, Atlantic Avenue, be placed between the House of Refuge on the north and the orange grove on the south. In 1924 a local Baptist congregation built a sanctuary where the orange grove once stood. Inspired by a church in Italy. this church was designed, built, and financed by F.J. Schrader a member of the Baptist congregation. It was considered to be the most beautiful church in the city. The church opened as Gibson Memorial Baptist Church, but after the Florida land boom bust in 1926 the Baptist could not finish paying for it They ended up joining another Baptist congregation and renting it to the Presbyterians in 1928 who later purchased it. It's the only church in Delray Beach to survive the 1926 and 1928 hurricanes. After a new sanctuary was built in 1977, the original church became the Fellowship Hall for the First Presbyterian Church. In front of the church is marker number F-653 erected in 2008 by the Delray Beach Historical Society, the Robert Neff Family, and the Florida Department of State. In 2010 an interesting discovery was made when rusted bolts gave way, causing the church's 150- pound cornerstone came to come loose. Not wanting to spend more money when they took over, the Presbyterians had the words Community Church Presbyterian carved on the opposite side of the Gibson Memorial Baptist Church cornerstone when they acquired the building in 1928. Behind the cornerstone was found a long copper box that was a time capsule. Inside the box was newspaper clippings, a church bulletin announcing the new church, and congratulatory Western Union telegrams. The time capsule discovery highlighted the faith and spiritual determination of the First Presbyterian Church founders. Church services are held every Sunday and all are welcome to attend.

My eye was drawn to the black and white historical marker that stands proudly in front of this…read moremagnificent church. There is plenty of parking nearby but the church itself was closed this Saturday morning and I did not have the opportunity to see the interior or attend a service. The front of the marker reads, "An orange grove, once located at this site, played a role in the early development of Delray Beach. Until 1876, an old, sour orange grove was the only distinguishable characteristic within 60 miles of a sparsely inhabited subtropical wilderness between Lake Worth and Biscayne Bay. Settlers in 1894-95 who saw the grove that was partially surrounded by a rock wall, speculated that the trees were planted by Seminole Indians, Minorcan immigrants, or the Spanish, but its origin remains unknown. A nearby haulover (a location where boats were carried from one navigable place to another), the Orange Grove Haulover, was named after the grove and is found on 19th century Florida maps as far back as 1826. The U.S. Life Saving Service, established by Congress in 1848 to protect mariners, built the Orange Grove House of Refuge #3 in 1876. When potential settlers came to the proposed Town of Linton (later renamed Delray Beach), the keeper of the Refuge, Stephen N. Andrews, suggested that the main street, Atlantic Avenue, be placed between the House of Refuge on the north and the orange grove on the south. The grove, long gone, became the site of this Mediterranean Revival building in 1924." And the reverse, "In 1924, a local Baptist congregation built a new sanctuary on this spot. The church, the only one built on the Delray Beach barrier island, was considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in the city. F.J. Schrader was the architect, builder, and financial underwriter. He said his inspiration was a picture and floor plan of a church in Florence, Italy, but that he made this church less ornate. In May 1924, he and a small crew, consisting of a carpenter, plumber, and electrician, faced a difficult task, especially with constructing the church's large cypress trusses. It was said at the time that the church was "the most Floridian Church in Florida." The original building was constructed as Gibson Memorial Baptist Church, but after the real estate crash of 1926 and the hurricanes that followed, the congregation was unable to finish paying Schrader. Five weeks after the 1928 hurricane, local Presbyterians rented the church, later purchasing it. After a new sanctuary was built in 1977, the original church became the Fellowship Hall for the First Presbyterian Church." It is marker number F-653 and it was erected in 2008 by The Delray Beach Historical Society, the Robert Neff Family, and the Florida Department of State.
