We Are Greater Together
Greater Together is much more than a catchy slogan. It is the cry of our heart to watch a diverse body of men and women encounter the God that changed our lives.
"The Church literally saved my life."
Why?
The one question we've gotten repeatedly is: Why?
Why leave the sunny beaches?
Why leave your home, friends and family?
Why leave everything to plant a church?
Growing up in the streets of Miami I lived a reckless life. In my early years I was heavily involved in gangs and had the bullet holes, head scars, and a double digit arrest record to prove it. By 19, I had been in jail 13 times and on my last trip facing more years than I could live out. I remember walking into a prison bible study. "Church." In that small room I heard and finally understood the Gospel. In that small room I grew in my faith, preached my first message and led others to Christ. The Church, in its most non-traditional sense, literally saved my life.
I had a loving family, but several decisions in my early adult life caused me to walk away from the faith and live a rebellious life. A decade later a friend was radically saved at a small local church and began to tell me of the joy she now lived in. Knowing this person, who was far from joyful, and myself, never having experienced such joy in church, I decided to give God a last shot and walked through the doors of that local church. Everything changed. The Church literally saved my life.
Reach the lost. Empower the found.
Whatever space in the journey someone may find themselves in, we want them to know that there's a God that loves them, that took the first step to start a relationship with them. That's why Greater Church exists. We want to love people, ALL people, and to be that safe place for the broken, the hurting and the lost to run to.
The local Church is the hope of this world.
We believe this so much that we’re giving our lives to it.
