5 /5 Nick Barrett: My wife and I have been attending this church since August of 2024. After growing up in church and moving to Lakeland in May of 2024, we did the “church shopping” thing and felt that God was calling us to make CFTO our home. God has blessed that obedience by providing us with immediate, genuine, and Christ-centered fellowship and relationships. The leadership of Pastor Kevin, Jesse, Tyler, Larry and others have been incredible from the beginning, and it is clear that this church’s number one priority is, unapologetically, bringing as many people into the Kingdom as possible. We are so grateful that God has led us to be a part of it. If you come here, know that you are going to be loved, supported, and pushed to pursue the general and specific calling that God has put on your life. The best way to get connected is to sign up for their monthly “claim” class and step into serving the church somewhere you feel called. You will make immediate connections if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and let people into your life. I met another young man around my age through serving as leaders in the youth ministry in September of 2024 and now I am going to be in his wedding in September of 2025!
