I didn't know what a true church family could be until I found Mission City. These people are not…read morejust people that you see on Sunday. They are not just people that you give a fake "I am good" to and move on. They are people you go through life with. They are family. I have been coming here for a little over a year and a half now. Walking in the door, I am greeted by hugs, good mornings, and people genuinely wanting to check in on me. People pray for me... sometimes without me asking or knowing. I have met some of my closest friends at this church. I know that I can call a few dozen people here and they would come help me. Yes, some of this comes through being an active member and attending every week. You have to invest yourself in the community too. I volunteer for events and in different areas. I am also a member of a life group that meets once a week in a living room. The Pastors are extremely relatable. They will point out their flaws and want to be held accountable. They are also extremely honest and humble. I could tell some stories.. but I am not going to. Pastor Josh Poole has a way of making the scripture come to life and speak to exactly what you are going through. The worship team is incredible... the best that I have ever witnessed. The worship is modern. It is very well thought out by our worship leader. It generally coordinates directly with the sermon for the week. They sometimes have acoustic or worship nights too. I really look forward to them. It is praise and worship at its finest. The church is not pushy. We give a small quick speech about how generosity is our privilege with how you can donate, and that is it. There are not buckets passed around. No one is keeping tabs.... God knows. Many of the members (including myself) donate online. We welcome new guests to sign up and get an (awesome!) gift. However, you could easily visit and walk away without much interaction if you prefer. The Holy Spirit is present here. Very strongly. It is hard to really put in to words. This place is very, very special. Come see for yourself. You will be welcome no matter what. We have service at 9am and 11am on Sundays and often have special events (check the website for those).

When we moved out to the Lutz area, we visited the main campus and instantly fell in love with the entire ministry. We go to many of the services online, which helps with my work schedule and our weekends with the kid's activities. I also like to make frequent trips down to the Clearwater campus to visit friends who go to that location. They are great people; Pastor Stephen and the staff always make us feel welcome! Last Sunday (4/14), we went to the beach baptism event at Fort De Soto beach, and I had Pastor Stephen baptize me to rededicate my life to the Lord, and then we baptized my baby boy (11), who gave his heart to the Lord! I wouldn't have asked anyone else but the Clearwater leadership staff to make that possible. Thank you all, God Bless!

After more than 20 years at Calvary Church Clearwater, I can honestly say this is a place for real…read morepeople--not perfect people. It's a church full of broken, imperfect folks who are simply doing their best to follow Jesus, and that authenticity is what has kept our family here for so long. Like any large church, there have been seasons where decisions didn't sit well with everyone. But one thing I've learned over the years is that there are always two sides to every story, and the public usually only hears one. I've seen firsthand that Pastor Willy and the leadership team are thoughtful, kind, and prayerful people who genuinely seek to make decisions they believe are necessary for the health and future of the church. This is a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church that stays grounded in truth while still creating space for grace and growth. Yes, it's a big church--but if you get involved in a ministry or join a Life Group, it quickly feels much smaller and more personal. That's where real connection happens. I'm also continually encouraged by the impact beyond the walls: planting over 150 churches, helping revitalize struggling ones, sending more than 150 people into missions, and supporting over 150 children through foster care and adoption. That kind of outward focus says a lot. At the end of the day, it's a community of sinners--just like me--walking together and trying to follow Jesus a little more faithfully each day. And that's a place worth being.

Let me tell you as soon as I found out I immediately pulled my support from the old church in Pinellas Park. Danny has started a new Calvary Chapel at 3800 17th Ave N in St Petersburg. A friend of ours took us by and there was Danny outside. We got out and he greeted us with open arms and invited us in, sat down talked to us and showed us his new church. Danny is truly a man of God and was very undeserving of all the wrong doing that was done to him. We will be attending his new church and invite othesr to come. If you want to hear the word and worship the Lord this is the place to come to. Just thank God we found him!

Thank God for wonderful Christians that glorify Jesus with their lives and testimony to help others. Frank was the leader and another man was David like me.
