​What Sundays Are Like​

Get A Tour


New ​Times:
1st Service: 9:30am
2nd Service: 11:00am



​Location: 5041 Griffin Rd.
​Brooksville, FL 34601

​What to Expect:

1. There will be plenty of parking.​ You will enter the church from Griffin Road and there will be spots available whether you get there early or late.  
 
2. You can dress comfortably. People will be dressed however they feel most comfortable. Some dress up, many dress casually. We care more about you than what you wear.
 
3. You will be greeted with a smile. We call ourselves a family. So when you come you will be treated as such. We will also have coffee and snacks available before the service in our Fellowship Hall.

4. There will be a place for your children. Children under 5 are invited to check directly into our young childcare room before service. Ages 6 through 5th grade are invited to attend the first portion of the service with their parents then will be dismissed before the message so they can learn God’s Word with kids their own age. 
​
5. We will sing, pray, and study God’s Word together. When the service starts, we will be led by a praise band in singing both uplifting hymns of the faith and modern songs with words projected on the front walls so you don’t feel left out. We will pray together, and we will have a time of teaching from God’s Word from one of the pastors about how God’s message relates to us today.
 
6. We will be done in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Passion:  I am passionate about teaching God’s Word. I love everything from researching, to writing, to presenting the truths of God’s Word. 

​Hobbies: I love hanging out with Bethany above everything. Besides that, I enjoy reading non-fiction. If it’s fiction, I’d rather watch the movie. I enjoy watching my favorite sports teams. I still hang on to my Oklahoma teams and Dallas Cowboys. I am slowly learning to root for the local teams! 
 
Life Verse: Acts 20:24 “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.“

Life verse: Phil 3: 13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God In Christ Jesus.”

Children's Director: Denise Hopkins

Family:  My husband Gary and I have been married for over 20 years and we are excited for many more years of adventure together.  Our family moved from a Colorado farm to the Sunshine state in 2021. Our adult son RJ knew he would miss his super cool parents so much that he made the move too.  He may say there were other reasons, but we don't believe him ;)

Passion:  I never want someone to feel alone or not welcome. I use every chance I cab to remind others how special and valuable they really are! Loving people is my passion.

Hobbies: My happy place these days is Universal Studios where I can be found enjoying a Butterbeer ice cream (fun fact, butterbeer has no alcohol) while soaking in all the amazing visual effects! I also possess some mean cricut skills.

Verse: Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry James 1:19. I've got the last part down, it's the other two that trip me up. :)
