West Pines Community Church

This is the only church that I feel so at home. The worship and messages are food for your soul!

This is a great church out west in the warehouses off of Johnson by Okechobee (U.S. 27). Once inside, it looks like most churches these days. It’s kept dark, cool and has excrllent sound and lighting. The music is good and announcements are not over done. It is a medium sized church so it is easy to make friends and get involved. I like that the services were about an hour and 15 minutes. They are known for their rxcellent youth group. They have a seperate building and on Wednesday nights they have teens from around the county come out for a great time of fun and fellowship.

We learned about West Pines Community Church from a friend & have found a truly incredible place to come & worship. All of the pastors are fantastic & each message Robey brings is thought provoking & leaves me with something to think about for the week ahead. When something happens & we just can’t make it, we catch up on the sermon online. I have also been able to be a part of the women’s Bible studies & am so excited when a new one is starting up. Kids ministry is lively & brings the truths of the Bible to the kids in their level of understanding. So glad we have been led to this church.

Writing an update as I was recently very disappointed with the way Pastor Robey treated one of his members for four years who was a volunteer and dedicated their time to the establishment. Said unmarried person was found out to be living with their significant other and was subsequently thrown out of volunteering for violating what the Bible teaches. I understand having to uphold certain standards, but let’s take a step back and think — what would Jesus do in this situation? Jesus accepted all walks of life into his ministry and surrounded himself by the sinners to help carry them along to salvation. He accepted them as part of His life, He did not dismiss them and even when His own disciplines sinned against Him, he accepted them and forgave them at the cross. I was highly disappointed to hear of the dismissal of said member. Especially since the message was not delivered by the Lead Pastor, but instead by another volunteer. Unfortunately despite enjoying the preaching style, I will not be attending again as I do not feel this church really understands what it means to show the world Christ’s love.
