### 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?

The church sells things in back (actually had prices, not one of those for donation things). Ultimately if you want an impersonal church that's just after your money, then this place is perfect for you. If not, then stay away. Also, the place is infested with mosquitos. They get in the church, in your car, everywhere.

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.

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!

This ain't no fancy looking church. In fact, you wouldn't know it's a church at all if it didn't have big letters out front that say "Access Church". It's in a strip mall, and one that's not necessarily nice or super clean overall. But Access brings up the average. Inside, it's more spacious than you'd expect. There's a nice greeting area, and they even serve free Concord coffee every Sunday (a great local shop)! The volunteers always have huge smiles on their faces and make you feel welcome without it being overwhelming. They give you a program before the service starts, along with a pen so that you can take notes if you want or in case you forgot something to write with. The worship style is much more modern, a little bit concert-like but in a good way. And they still sing a lot of the better known worship songs which I appreciate. The main pastors are so genuine and usually bring a good message. They don't over complicate things but hit you right where you need at times. It took me a couple years to find a church in Lakeland that I truly felt comfortable in, but from the moment I attended Access it captured me with the intentionality. After my first visit I chatted with some workers and they even gave me a first time gift. Access has weekends where you can volunteer at local nonprofits and help out. They hold small groups every week and baptisms once a month. Their Sunday services usually last around an hour, just enough but not too long. It's a great place to come and get your Jesus fill!
