Gainesville,FL - List top 25 Churches

Ashley Birkmire I’ve gone to Anthem for 11 years(since college) and the culture and community has changed my life. I would have never come into my faith without Anthem facilitating that opportunity. They both are strongly rooted in the gospel and make a safe and comfortable environment to explore and grow in your faith. They say that they want things for you, not from you and I have consistently felt that. Bring your scars and you will be welcomed

Diane Matuszewski I am in the Ocala area for winter and came to this church after visiting several others. While I am noise sensitive and the praise and worship was a bit loud for me, I was moved by the genuine atmosphere of caring and genuine faith and worship. Ive been watching on line ever since. The pastor here has such great energy and charisma and he teaches (not "preaches") from the heart. I cant wait to go back!

Giselle Gauthier Wonderful place to find spiritual fulfillment regardless of your personal beliefs. I am agnostic -- neither religious or atheist -- and made some great friends here. They do not discriminate based on gender or sexual expression. The youth group is well-run. Most of all, they practice the teachings of Jesus in the way they were intended -- with love and acceptance.

Steve G I love this place. Great church in downtown Gainesville. If youre near UF or downtown this is a great church to check out.

Trent Woodham Vida Springs is a phenomenal church. I have been attending church here for several years now and I have been very thankful for the community that Ive found. Vida Springs is a very warm and welcoming church that genuinely has a heart for people. I moved here for college and quickly found my best friends upon attending this church. At Vida the Sunday morning talks are centered around biblical passages and the message of Jesus Christ is always preached. The leadership here is extremely humble and always growing, challenging, and loving the community. This church genuinely feels like a family that constantly looks to encourage, correct, and do life with each other.

Bridgett Collier The sermons taught here are clear to understand and directly from Bible scriptures. Those who preach seem to have done their homework from the Bible and other texts before speaking to the congregation. They also encourage the listeners to study on their own. The people are warm and welcoming and not everyone looks the same. Its definitely worth more than one visit.

Solansh Schrack I started attending Calvary Chapel Gainesville in early 2013, and have never left. Smaller fellowship that allows for deep relationship building and fellowship. Word by word, verse by verse, chapter by chapter expository teaching! And a body of believers who love Jesus! Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Dedrah Mathis This church really helped me at such a low point in my life. I was kind of alone living in Gainesville for school, but this the members of this congregation became family with such genuine love. They taught me how to follow God in a biblical way, which ultimately, changed my life forever! I’m currently a part of our sister church in a different city, but the GICC will always have my heart! I highly recommend it to anyone & everyone

LeStine Ford A great place to worship! The spirit of the Lord dwells there and the people are friendly.

Dipesh Dhakal Great church with good peoples! The Pastor is very inspiring! There is separate section where kids can be taken care, so you can devote completely to the lord! There are a lot of events there! Last time we went there and took photos and blessings! You can also get free food and have complete devotion to god!

Anthony Mitchell My pastor preach at this church. Very spirit filled. Very pleasant family church. Ifyou dont have a church, if you love praising the Lord, try this church! The pastor is a God fearing man. The pastor is not so big and proudful that he cant, or dont talk to his sheep. Get to know him in a spiritual way. Nope! They dot have an atm, or ask to see your bank statements, or check stub! Thats not giving freely! The Lord wants use to give freely! Try this church theirs plenty of room

Debbie Smith Worship and fellowship at this church is uplifting and healing. Pastors messages are annoited. Love this experience every time!

Glen Baker The holy Trinity Church in the entire congregation have been so wonderful to me until today I was just turned away for being 10 minutes late Im just trying to get some bus passes to be able to get back and forth to my new job I have no way to get there and no money for an Uber I was told that theres no one to call that the time is over and I am out of luck I was brushed off without even a second thought by Peter who answers the phones in the door I even called to try to speak to someone else to see if there was any way I could get any help and I was told know there is no one to call. I find this so hard to believe. never know what theyre going through

Noah Brook This is a fantastic church that does a lot of community outreach, missions, etc. There are several groups, there is a spot for everyone here. My favorite thing about this church is the diversity as well, people of numerous nations and backgrounds attend and always reminds me that we are all children of god. Also the coffee shop inside is the best and proceeds go to missions!

Elizabeth Watkins I love this church. You feel right at home soon as you walk in the doors, pastor Arnold is amazing as well as everyone else. This church will always hold a special place in my heart! Everyone is very nice and willing to help you with whatever you need. Shawna Edwards is an awesome member of this church who goes above and beyond helping the less fortunate.

Nancy Wright Great worship. No one said anything to me. I felt invisible. Not very welcoming.

Liz Cecilia St A’s provides access to the sacraments 7 days a week, including confession, adoration, and daily Mass twice a day. The staff, clergy, and student ambassadors put everything they have into following the will of God and creating a true, good, and beautiful experience of the Catholic faith. I am proud to call St Augustine my home parish

Marcus Williams Went for the "buy a pumpkin feed a child" event. Great pumpkin bread. Very nice staff and all proceeds went to helping children in need. Thanks for the photo opportunities with our baby!

Betty Lee I was sad to find out about the 3 recent arrests connected to this church, but not surprised. During my time at this church, I witnessed too many youth having their lives destroyed by the narcissistic, predatory leadership. The Pastor uses God to serve his own personal agenda, which seems to be an ego-driven quest for power and control. So many young people have given up any hope of a bright future because the Pastor has them brainwashed to believe that we are in the last days and theres nothing else to do with their lives but serve this pathetic church. Lets continue to pray that the truth be revealed and that all the hypocrites be held accountable for their actions.

Sharon Nelson So friendly. Wonderful worship services with 4 preachers who all give us inspiring, bible based sermons. Very involved in local and national and world missions and services. Love it here.

Sue Pratt Pastor David is so very relatable and helps you see and hear the Bible in a way we all feel and understand. He is also funny and real. Everyone at Westside is warm and friendly. Im glad to call it my church home.

Chris Lesshafft For the last 3 years, my family and I have attended the Canvas Church in Alachua. We were excited for their new campus closer to Gainesville. Same cadence as their Alachua location, with live music, kids programming, good people, and a great message ✝️❤️

Emma Prescott This place was referred to me. I am a special needs mom. I know the limit that this church is only able to help. However this place is not familiar of the importance of special needs kids. For an example I paid my rent and my utilities I was missing 100 from my car insurance. Since I do not have car insurance I can’t take my special needs to school occupational or ABA or speech. My car insurance supervisor was able to send a letter stating that I only owe 100 and then I’ll be able to drive my car to take my special needs to all his therapy and school. The staff recommended that they just pay for a city bus pass. Well that will be great for a typical person but for a single mom of special needs kids who have about 20 therapy a week that’s literally impossible to rely on city transportation services. Only if this department was knowledgeable on special needs I’m pretty sure I would be able to get the help. Just a reminder to special needs parents this location doesn’t help.

Wendy May I haven’t been there we are new to the area I am familiar with the catholic ways I’m Roman Catholic and I come from Washington Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh pa. My family is all catholic and friends. I came to your church as an alternative today I called the closer church near our home in High springs Florida. I was so desperate because I take care of my cousin who has a physical handicap called cerebral palsy I too am disabled and need another back surgery number 8 for me my friend who lives with us needs her 4 th back surgery. Well I called your church today and Mr mark helped us and miss debbie and the congregation I just want to thank you all and the good Lord for your kindness our septic system was filled up and didn’t know it until an over flow of raw sewage over flowed in other parts of the house. Thanks to you all we will be indebted to you all if we can make crafts to sale or food for your church fundraisers let us know. We will help in anyway. Thank you again and God Bless you all! Wendy, Tammy, and Jimmy

Allan Lee Great service , great people!! Feel the spirit here with Pastor Danny and his wife Eva! They are so down to earth and treat everyone like family. About 100 members or more, small enough to know everyone and big enough to make a local positive difference! Acts1:8 " acting locally , reaching globally."
