Local Church St. Pete

Welcome to Local Church St. Pete, a vibrant community located in the heart of St. Petersburg, Florida, at 2750 5th Avenue North. As a welcoming place of worship, we invite you to join us on Sundays for an enriching experience where faith, community, and growth converge.

Whether you're exploring a Sunday gathering for the first time or are a regular attendee, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere. Feel free to dress casually, enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee, and engage in a service that includes music and a meaningful talk based on the Bible. Our Sunday services are held at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11:00 AM, with a pre-gathering prayer session at 7:25 AM for those who wish to come early and pray.

Parking is convenient with a large lot on the East side of the building along 5th Ave N, a smaller lot on the South side along 28th St N, and additional parking available at St. Pete High School across the street. A police officer will be on hand to assist with crossing 5th Ave N safely.

At Local Church St. Pete, families and children are especially important to us. Our LOCAL Kids ministry, available every Sunday, caters to children aged 6 months through 5th grade. Our dedicated volunteers are trained, background-checked, and passionate about providing a safe, fun, and educational environment where your children can learn Bible lessons, engage in crafts, and participate in activities that reinforce their learning.

If you're new to our community, we encourage you to fill out a Connect Card. This helps us get to know you better and serve you in the best way possible. Our community is humbled by the love of Jesus, and we cherish the eclectic, artistic, and diverse spirit of St. Pete. We aim to be a place where you can grow in faith, ask questions, and explore the truths of who Jesus is and what that means for your life today.

For those considering a deeper commitment, we offer a Pastoral Residency Program, a two-year immersive training opportunity for seminary graduates. Residents serve as Associate Pastors, gaining hands-on experience and mentorship to prepare them for future pastoral roles. If you're interested in learning more or contributing to this program, please contact us at [email protected].

At Local Church St. Pete, our identity is rooted in the Gospel Story. We believe that God has come to rescue and restore us through Jesus Christ, offering a message of reconciliation and hope. Our mission is to walk in love, show compassion, and create a genuine community where everyone is welcome.

Join us in this journey of faith and community, where life is embraced in all its messiness, imperfections are accepted, and the love of Jesus binds us together. We look forward to welcoming you to Local Church St. Pete, where you can find a place to belong, grow, and serve in the heart of St. Pete.
