Jennifer Kirby: Searched for a few years to find a church I could belong to. Finding some I enjoyed but it just didn’t feel like home. I reached out to my old youth pastor and basically begged him to move from Nashville, TN to Bradenton so my kids could grow in faith the way I did through his sermons. He suggested Pastor Sam at West B. I watched online first and really enjoyed the sermons. I finally got the courage to go in person and from day 1 I felt at home. They called me by my first name, took me to coffee to get to know me, invited me to Bunco, podcast and provide so many fun activities for my babies. My tween enjoys going to church. My toddler gets excited when he hears we are going. They have supported and encouraged my foster journey. Even though we don’t have any family within a 5 hour radius, we have built a family with the church. I can’t say enough awesome things about this church community.
Hugh Bowen: Father Gus is very nice but a bit hard to understand and Father Gordon is a delight! Well be seeing him again in a few weeks to baptize our first grandchild!
frida mandujano: This is my home church such beautiful people and great youth. If you have young kids and adults I promise you, you will not regret visiting us!!!
Steven Lackey: My parents attended Happy Gospel Church before having to move into an Assisted Living Facility, & then to Memory Care. My Dad passed locally in 2019 & Pastor Bill Bailey officiated his service. After Dad’s passing, moved Mom up to the FL Panhandle. My Mom just passed, after being away for 3 years, but Pastor Bill Bailey still officiated at her funeral here locally, to be buried with my Dad. My parents loved Pastor Bill Bailey & Happy Gospel Church & are so grateful he conducted both of their services. I highly recommend him & the Church, for real anointed Bible preaching & song. If I lived here, I definitely know where I’d attend.
