LOVE GOD
LOVE PEOPLE
MAKE DISCIPLES
Our values shape how we live, worship, and grow together as a church. Rooted in the example of the early church in Acts 2, they guide how we remain grounded in scripture, committed to prayer, devoted to authentic community, and united in God’s mission. These values aren’t just beliefs we hold — they are practices we live out as we follow Jesus together.
Our church started with a group of about 14 people in a living room in December of 2025, based on the foundational principles of the bible. To learn more you can click the link below!
Our doctrinal beliefs align with the Baptist Faith and Message
We believe every believer is called to participate in God’s mission. As a church, we actively share the hope of Jesus — locally and beyond — empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:47 · Matthew 28:19–20 · Acts 1:8
We believe the Bible is God’s living Word — trustworthy, relevant, and powerful. Scripture shapes our beliefs, informs our decisions, and anchors our lives in truth.
Acts 2:42 · 2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Hebrews 4:12 · Isaiah 40:8
We are committed to authentic community. We walk through life together, supporting, encouraging, and loving one another as one body united in Christ.
Acts 2:44–46 · John 17:21 · Hebrews 10:23–25
Prayer is not optional — it is essential. We commit to being a praying church, seeking God consistently in every season, trusting Him with gratitude, perseverance, and faith.

Pastor Glen Rowden and his wife Chrissy serve with an amazing group of people who share a desire to love God, love people, and make disciples. Sarasota has been their home since 2018 and they are grateful for the opportunity to plant a church in a city they love.
