First Baptist Church of Estero

"I get the chance to associate and spend time with Pastor Frank on many occasions outside of the church 'setting.' He is just as genuine and real during the week as he is on Sundays when he is preaching God's Word. There are several great churches in SW Florida and FBC Estero is one of them."

"Great service.! Wonderful Praise team. Great fellowship!"

"I attended First Baptist Church of Estero on Sunday, and was warmly welcomed by Sharon. I even made a new girlfriend in Carol, plus met Stephanie, the voicemail of the church. Despite sitting in the back with these trouble makers, the service was enjoyable with a wonderful piano player! With a good mix of song and scripture, the service covered Psalms 1:15, reminding us to avoid the path of the wicked. Overall, a pleasant and uplifting experience. #Blessed : )"

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Pastor Frank, Jennifer and family. They are so real and down to earth. Pastor's sermons are so interesting and keeps my attention. Our church family is so kind. I am so happy we found this church almost 7 years ago."

"First, I would like to say that although I always believed in God and Jesus as my savior, I never felt comfortable in church atmospheres. Needless to say, I had my guard up the first time I attended a service. I kept expecting weird church people to try and talk me into something or sink their claws into me. When pastor Frank came up to me to welcome me, I proceeded to put my hand up to block his rhetoric and tell him that I believe in God and Jesus and not man-made religion. He said ok and and praise Jesus, he says that alot. Pastor Frank is also a baseball coach and is very intune with the young teens. He has 4 beautiful children of his own. His wife Jennifer teaches the gospel project, which is a 3 year journey in the old and new testaments, she is just as amazing. This is just a brief background of the family that we are so blessed to have teach and encourage us every Sunday morning. The Brands are the most down to earth, wonderful, normal family you could ever meet. If you are looking for an amazing uplifting church family that you would like to spend a few hours every Sunday morning with, please come to this church and see for yourself. This is one of the last churches around that is like going back in time. If you give it a chance, you will feel the pure love and joy that this church has for Jesus, God and each other. If you have children from newborn to 18, this is the place for you. There is a nursery to take care of babies and toddlers and a children gospel project for young kids, they love it. The teenagers, which my daugher is one of, meet on Wednesday nights in the fellowship house where pastor Weston is doing an amazing job of teaching them not only the word of God, but also life lessons, leadership skills and accountability just to name a few things. If you have a teenager, I highly recommend you let them visit on Wednesday night at 5:30. The pastors are very close to the kids and they know that they have a confidante and friend that will always be there for them. This is something the kids themselves have said in their own words. Please visit the website for more information on all the wonderful classes they have all week, along with worship times, family get togethers, game nights and many more fun things to do. Thank you for your time, if this gets one person to the place that you have been looking for your whole life, like me, then this blog will be worth it."
