Son Se Rae Squires Its a lovely atmosphere and very peaceful. Pastor Lowe and his wife are beautiful people. They are here to help us how important it is to know God has our savior.

Steven. S Anyone who single handedly builds an altar to gather his community for the lord is a 5 star in my book. The teaching is of sound doctrine and the pastor uses the holy spirit to lead the service. Please catch him and his wife on youtube.

Carol Pack A loving church preaching Gods word straight from the Bible. People want truth, youll find it here.

Madrina Being a part of this church for the past 3+ years have not only allowed me to call it a great place of worship with loving and friendly people who want to see every man, woman and child have a relationship with Jesus, but it also allows me to call it “home” where I have met wonderful people that I call family. Being part of small group is something I look forward to every Monday night to share the vision and mission of the church and spend some quality time with great friends. If this is what you’re looking for, come join us.

Len Nephew Awesome church family we are so thankful we can watch services in the summer when we are home in Michigan great singing awesome messages

Carolyn Palmer I lost my daughter unexpectedly in 2020. I spent months in PA taking care of business. I watched this church weekly online. It helped save me. My grief was unbearable. The music ministered to my heart. The messages were so good. When I got back, I couldnt wait to join this church. The people are so friendly and loving. Mostly, they are giving. Come join us and see for yourself. Ask for me and come sit with me. My motto is " A stranger is a friend you just havent met yet.". See you at church.

Althea Strong Tower Church is a wonderful church. There is a great mix of cultures and diversity and everybody comes together to worship and fill the air with God’s love. I thoroughly enjoy attending this church.

John Hollingshed Excellent biblical teaching, great worship service, and a very friendly atmosphere.

Amanda Walls This congregation has been our church family since its founding. People genuinely love each other here, even though we come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Authentic, safe, and small kids and youth ministries where everyone feels (and is!) welcome. Our family life has been forever transformed by being part of a church where every one of us - even our teens who have grown up here - feel real ownership of and love for this community of believers.

Santana Taino (DJ Cubis) I know this sounds so cliche. But this church is home. The lead pastor is so genuine and caring. The congregation reflects that also. I come from being hurt from past churches and its so refreshing having a community to care and love not only me but my family as well.

Alex Our family has been attending Lakeland Family Church for several months now, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found such a welcoming and vibrant community. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with genuine warmth and kindness. The atmosphere is inviting and inclusive, making it easy for families of all backgrounds to feel right at home. One of the things we love most is how intentional the church is about being family-friendly. There are engaging and well-organized programs for kids of all ages—from toddlers to teens—which means our children are not only cared for, but also taught in ways that are meaningful and age-appropriate. They actually look forward to church every week! The pastoral team is truly exceptional. The sermons are heartfelt, biblically grounded, and relevant to everyday life, often sparking great conversations for our family after service. It’s clear that the leadership is deeply committed to fostering spiritual growth and community connection. We’ve also appreciated the church’s efforts to provide plenty of opportunities for involvement, whether through small groups, service projects, or family events. It’s more than just a place to attend on Sunday—it really feels like a second home. If you’re looking for a church that supports your whole family, encourages authentic relationships, and helps you grow in faith, we highly recommend giving Lakeland Family Church a visit. It has been a true blessing to our lives!

Shawn Shuttlesworth I went to church for the first time in years, so I was a little nervous. When going to church, you never know what youre getting into. I entered, and everyone was very friendly and acomidating. The preacher shook my hand and introduced himself. The music and the message were very good and satisfying. I enjoyed myself and went back the following weekend.

Carri Chaffee Lovely place. Youth pastor is great. Great sense of fellowship. Sadly some closed minds in the leadership it seems. Was really rubbed the wrong way by several things said during my one and only visit and done during an encounter the next day not related to the church service with a leadership member.

Marc Cavanaugh My favorite church in Lakeland! I ended up here looking for help and support after a friends cancer diagnosis and other compiling life things. I was able to receive exactly the message I needed to get me through, as well as like-minded people to pray for me and my loved ones. I like the music and the service is engaging. Everyone is very nice, and the Pastor welcomed me personally, Ryan, I think. I dont suggest anyone subscribe to anything, but I know prayre works. YOU make your own decisions, but if you are looking, God can be found here.
