I enjoy how active the parish is and how involved the current Pastor, Father Ivan is. His homilies are not rehearsed and he's not reading them, they appear to come from deep reflective and prayer. I use to feel that priests weren't very approachable and Father Ivan is easy to speak with and has always made me feel welcome and part of a beautiful community.

I visited here a few times with my daughter and her fiancé. I liked the place at first but found…read morethe pastor and his wife to be fake. He is most likely taking in a big salary as do most of the mega-churches in South Florida. From the pulpit, they sound nice but in reality, it is often just a show. The facility was clean and well taken care of. The multitude of volunteers work tirelessly to ensure every service goes off perfectly. People who go here are friendly and approachable. I just don't think they see how they are being used.

In that time, I have moved in and out of the area several times and regardless of the time that has passed, when I return, I am greeted with the same love and consistency I have grown so fond of. The Pastors, Roberto and Mirta Colloca are the real deal when it comes to teaching you the Bible alongside demonstrating that they truly care about their members. The worship and music time in Vida Abundante is second to none--filled with vitality, passion and life. The people that attend here are a mix of ages and backgrounds, yet consistently all humble, kind and joyful. It is a pleasure to attend here time and time again. If you are looking for a church in the Hialeah/Miami Lakes/Miami Gardens area, this should be a stop on your list. Note that the services are all in Spanish and services start at 11am on Sunday mornings.

Every year, Miami Lakes United Methodist does a pumpkin patch fundraiser in the month of October…read more Every year, it's always such a decorated fundraiser that you see if you pass by the street driving alone. There are pumpkins upon pumpkins. You can buy one to go, as usually shipments happen once every week or so, and you can also take photos with them. With them, and well, all the props they have. This is mostly a delight for kids, but hey, as an adult, I enjoy it as well. For years now I've been saying I was surprised admission was free, but that case is no longer. Adults pay $3 on weekdays and $5 on weekends. When going in, though, there's more variety than ever. They actually hand you coupons to use towards the purchase of pumpkin should you choose to buy one. Other goodies being sold include photos, kettle corn, drinks, face painting, you get the idea. Oh, and there's a show with a pumpkin patch princess. Definitely something for the little ones, and of course, for those young at heart.

They put together a nice little agenda for the kids. The kids absolutely love it every year as if they weren't there the year before.

I love coming here!!!

Little did I know, especially in the condition I was in then, that I would go on to succeed him and become the Pastor of Voice For Jesus . It should be a lesson to all of us that you can never determine where God will take you by where you are presently at. VFJ is a church that believes that because of God's Incredible Love for you, that there is nothing too difficult for him to do. Since November 2017, when Pastor Wayne went to be with the Lord, I have learned in a deeper way that Voice For Jesus Church and her people who attend, are all about expressing the Love of God to others. I can tell you with confidence, that even if I wasn't the Pastor, I would still attend VFJ. I highly recommend this Church and Ministry to you and to your Family. You will experience without judgement or criticism, the pure Life-Changing Love of God and Worship that will Lead you closer to Him. He Is Faithful!!

It's even prettier on the inside, with beautiful stained glass and "ikons" and all the trappings you'd expect of a fancy Orthodox church. The services are in English. The clergy are extremely kind, friendly, reasonable and intelligent, even when they know you're not a religious person. They respect your views and don't push you to convert or anything. I attended a couple of times (3, I think?) when I was dating a troubled Orthodox man whose church this was. He would let his screaming, insufferable, maladjusted, possibly retarded 4-year-old brat run right up to the priest and yank on his robes and scream while the priest was solemnly singing his chants; and the priest and congregation would just carry on like it wasn't happening. So they are exceptionally tolerant and kind. Speaking of screaming brats, there is a separate glassed-off area for small children and their guardians, which offers full view and audio of the church hall, and which all other parents except my ex were courteous enough to keep their infants, toddlers and improperly socialized children behind. There is also a nicely equipped playground. The church has what I think are potluck events after church days, where everyone is welcome to eat and socialize with other churchgoers and with the very amiable clergy. All in all, this place leaves a good impression of the spirit of Christianity and is also an aesthetic pleasure.
