  Church Together

  Mar 2015 - Present - Casselberry, Fl

  Church Together is the name of the church that as emerged since we begun as the Venue Church. Our name reflects our values and our faith. We believe that God, through Christ, wants to be involved in life together with us. We believe that when Jesus talked about His hopes for the church that togetherness was a huge part of what he dreamed of and our name reflects what we value - people. We are also committed to working together with other people, organizations and churches to make the world a better place.Our church believes that HE (Jesus) IS our hope, that YOU ARE loved and that WE NEED each other if we are going to live the life that God has planned for us. I love being a pastor to a great and diverse group of people from a wide variety of demographic backgrounds and working with them to love the world. Come and join us one Sunday!
