Gulf Coast Fellowship Church

"Are you searching for a place where you can go deep into God's Word, learn more about Him and draw closer to God? Are you looking for a place where you can be among sweet, caring and loving believers - a place of unity and peace? Are you yearning for a place where you can ask others to pray for you or your family and friends and know those people will pray? Are you wanting to be in a place where you can ask tough questions about God, life and the Bible and your questions are welcomed and answered with no judgment, but with love and understanding? I I know the place you are looking for!! I have attended Gulf Coast Fellowship for 17 years. I have found this church is all the above and a great place to worship and serve God. If you are looking for all these things as I was , then come and visit us at 600 19th Street in Palm Harbor."

"I’ve been attending Gulf Coast Fellowship (GCF) for many years and have grown spiritually and personally each time Pastor Joe delivers his weekly message. I’ve attended several churches during my lifetime and can honestly say this church and its congregation epitomizes true Christian fellowship. We remain committed to the Bible, dissecting the verses without deviating into obtuse opinions, false narratives and divisive politics. We have social events and support the local community. Our Sunday School topic piggy-backs directly to Joe’s weekly message. We distribute outlines and reference material and share our collective knowledge and experiences. I would come to GFC for the message, the music, and the fellowship. And stay where “everyone knows your name.”"

"I have been in (and out) of churches for about 40 years. The last 10 of those years at Gulf Coast Fellowship. I have never been more blessed, grown more in my personal relationship with Jesus and in the understanding of God and His word. I have never felt more loved or felt more welcome and a part of God's people. Pastor Joe is not just an excellent teacher, but does an amazing job explaining Scripture in ways that will give you a clear understanding of what God says in The Bible. He has an overarching vision of the word of God from Genesis to Revelation showing the relationships of Old Testament prophecies with New Testament fulfillment. The people of Gulf Coast Fellowship are genuine, warm and welcoming. They don't care about your money or status. They really just care about you and your relationship with The Lord Jesus. Check them out online if you like - but you REALLY experience the Fellowship of Gulf Coast when you are there in person."

"If you are looking for a church that is Bible-based and has a family-like feeling, I'd highly recommend Gulf Coast Fellowship. Pastor Joe does a great job at explaining each Bible verse being discussed or focused on every Sunday and has a passion for bringing others to Christ. Besides this, the church does monthly fellowship gatherings and events that keep the church family togetherness and allow us to bond with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. There is also Bible Study on Wednesdays and Children's ministry during the service. My faith has grown since I've been coming to this church and so has my family's."

"I have been attending GCF for a little over two years. This congregation has been so wonderful. First the teaching is awesome. Pastor Joe preaches God's Word with clarity and a deep understanding of the Hebrew and Greek translation of words. He follows the Bible without adding or diluting God's Word. We have a mixture of music with old Hymns as well as popular contemporary songs. We have a wonderful Sunday School class, also with a very educated teacher. One thing I find so enriching is we receive our Sunday School questions during the week. Which gives us time to study the passage, then we review the answers and discuss the passage before going into church where our Pastor again goes over the verses with additional insight into what God's Word is telling us. We study one book of the Bible at a time so you really get an understanding of what the book means. We also have a wonderful Wednesday night study where we do additional studies such as Bible Basics, The Attributes of God, Biblical Numerology, Help my Unbelief, just to name a few. And we have a friendly, caring group of people at Gulf Coast. We have a special event each month, like a movie and dessert or Taco Night. We get together for a Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration. We have several ministries for men, woman, events, charities, etc. If you are looking for a Bible believing church where you will study and learn God's Word, while having a great time this is the place!!"
