I am 27 and a father of three. I've been to over 30 church's in my lifetime, scattered across every…read morestate East of the Mississippi River; with a healthy diversity in denominations. I traveled for work for the first decade of my career, God has gifted me with stability for the second. We found a church in Winter Haven, Haven Worship Center, that we loved to attend while we lived in Haines City. We moved to Lakeland in 2022 and mourned the 1 hour drive to Winter Haven every Sunday. It was worth it, but it wasn't sustainable. A month ago, a good friend of ours invited us to this church. We haven't missed a Sunday since. Not because of guilt or shame, worried of the "sin" of missing church, but because the SPIRIT OF GOD MOVES IN THIS CHURCH UNLIKE ANY I HAVE SEEN BEFORE. Since attending this church, my marriage has strengthened. I have found joy in the little things in life again. I have helped lead two people to the Lord, neither of which had any up bringing in Christianity. I have quit Nicotine. I have grown a business. I have bought a house. My children have begun planning to paint their bedrooms for the first time in their lives. I do not raise my hands during praise in worship, the spirit in me lifts them. The diverse people in this place, old and young, make us feel at home, the praise and worship is authentic, the pastor is wise beyond his years. As a man, I look up to him and his wisdom. He wears Jordan's, strange detail but he and the entire team embody "come as you are." Baptism EVERY Sunday, such an incredibly important detail and the way they do it is PROFOUND and well rooted in scripture. I love this place and am so grateful to have been called.

### Church Review: Where Faith Ends and Partisanship Begins…read more Attending service at Victory Church a few months before the 2024 election left me unsettled--not because of the sermon's spiritual message, but because the sanctuary had become a stage for political endorsements masked as moral imperatives. The pastor delivered a denunciation of the Democratic Party, labeling it as "evil" from the pulpit. What followed was even more troubling: a display of voting records from various pastors, offered as a spiritual compass to "guide" congregants at the ballot box. The message was clear--political alignment was being presented as a measure of faithfulness. To compound the unease, the pastor intimated disgust at the recent Mundani Primary success, casting aspersions on the character and legitimacy of those elected without offering facts, just innuendo. --- ### Ethical Crossroads There's a fine line between moral engagement and partisan manipulation--and this service bulldozed past it. Churches have long played a role in social justice and community uplift, but when a spiritual leader uses their authority to enforce political orthodoxy, it risks: - **Eroding trust in spiritual leadership** by conflating doctrine with party loyalty - **Alienating members** whose conscience leads them to different political conclusions - **Undermining democratic pluralism** by framing dissent as spiritual failure Worship should be a place for reflection, not division. And it's worth asking: when politics hijacks the pulpit, who benefits--and who is silenced?

You can truly feel his heart for people and his desire to see lives transformed. Every sermon is biblically grounded, practical, and uplifting. He's made such an impact in my life that trickles into my everyday life at home and in the workplace. The worship team is absolutely outstanding. The music creates an atmosphere where you can genuinely encounter God. It's powerful, every song comes alive, and is beautifully led. And if that's not enough, Free Life has a strong sense of community. From weekly services to Connect Four, special events, leadership conferences, and ladies conferences, there is always an opportunity to grow, connect, and be poured into. You don't just attend here -- you belong here. If you're looking for a church where you'll be filled up spiritually, encouraged in your walk, and surrounded by genuine community, this is it!

Isn't it a biased thing to leave a review for a church that you regularly attend? On that note I'll…read moretry to be unbiased as possible... Located inside the YMCA, this church sets up and takes down every weekend. Locale doesn't make it lack a homey feel though because they do a great job with set up, lighting and greeting! People inside are genuine and sincere. Most importantly, they remember me. Being that I'm far from a morning person it's great that they have 2 services (9am and 10:30am) which last about an hour. Yes, a legit hour. There's no crazy long worship or some long winded sermon that makes your sit bones scream for mercy! Free and delectable coffee is served and needed! Again, I'm not a morning person. What I appreciate is there's no coffee nazi who looks at you with "those eyes" if you go for a refill. In fact, take all that ya want. I hate feeling guilty for having seconds. Since I don't have kids that anchor me down I don't do the whole drop off pick up thing at the nursery or other rooms but I have volunteered. That program is top notch! They have it planned with teaching, songs, fun and crafts! Two-Three manned teams trained and ready to help keep your kiddos entertained so you can relax during service. Outside of the church there's so much community outreach. Not the kind that screams "come to my church" but more events and service. Currently the church is working together to start a Royal Family Kids camp for foster kids to have respite during the summer. They also did a toy drive for kids in foster homes. *cue the "Awww"* Community, this church loves getting to know the people with no hidden agenda. That's why they have Discover Groups. Different times and different days in different places to accommodate folks. People getting together! So yep, this church does it right. I didn't even get to say how excellent the worship is or how relatable but biblical the sermons are... Important things to know!

Oh my word this is a FANTASTIC CHURCH!!…read more The new preacher Pastor Aaron Burgner is absolutely an anointed man of God and an extraordinary teacher of The Word of God!! You had better be ready and strapped into your seat for his sermons because he gives you soooooooo much meat of The Word you have to go home and re-listen to it again (streamed or etc.) in order to catch it all! He does give GREAT outlines and notes--which I love!! He also is a fantastic study of the Holy Land and can give you a feeling of almost being there as he describes the scenes that his sermon study is taking place, the time frame that it is happening and what was symbolic regarding the culture of the people at that time. He is a phenomenal preacher and you are missing out on hearing a Word from Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ if you don't come!! The church family is absolutely warm and friendly, they greet you at each and every door! Its an awesome building with so much to offer! This church is definitely on FIRE FOR GOD and is a welcome refuge for those that need encouragement and someone to pray with them. VBS , Concrete & Cranes" was GREAT for the kids too!
