Meet Our Pastors
David and Lavinia Marshall
David and Lavinia met over thirty years ago and have been inseparable ever since they met. They met in Cleveland, Ohio where they were both beginning their careers. David was living his dream, playing Professional Football for the Cleveland Browns and Lavinia was a Junior Executive for a local corporation.
They have been married for over 34 years. They have two beautiful daughters, Gabrial and Nicole. At the onset of their marriage, they worshipped at a life- giving church which forever changed their lives. Their leadership preparation began long before they had the urge to start a church. They have lead Bible studies, served as cell group leaders, youth pastors, and community outreach pastors. In 2018, the call to pastor begin to ring. With much prayer, listening, and communing with God, David and Lavinia said, “Yes”! After years of prayer and preparation, they are embarking on this new part of their journey in Bradenton, Florida.
David and Lavinia have gone through training to plant a life-giving church. They are not just going to the edge of the water; they feel as if they are stepping into the water. They are excited and full of hope to help people experience God, grow in God, and change the world with the love of God.

What We Believe
We exist to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
The church represents the arms, hands, and feet of Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures both Old and New Testament are the inspired and reliable revelation of God to man and the authority of our faith and conduct.
The one true God has revealed Himself as the “I AM”. God is our Creator and Redeemer.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God, and he is our great Intercessor.
The Holy Spirit is our Advocate, Counselor, and Comforter. Holy Spirit draws people to Christ and equips them for life.
The Church should glorify God in the earth, love, and serve others.
Salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ by grace and not by any works we do. We cannot save ourselves, we need a Savior and his name is Jesus Christ.
