“Rabbi Levi Steinmetz performed our marriage ceremony after another rabbi dropped out for family obligation reasons just two months before our wedding. Not only did he graciously take on the ceremony but he drove from Sarasota to Miami and back in one day just to perform our wedding. He met with us prior to the wedding and ran through all of the pieces of the ceremony. Helped make it our own. He went back and forth with us to get the ketubah printed just right. It was short and sweet and to the point. And his wife Leah created lessons for me to learn about mikvah and the mitzvah surrounding it. It was a great experience and we are so happy to be part of his young professionals group. Thank you both so much!!”
“I am truly blessed to call Ascension Lutheran my home church. The members are truly family. My faith, knowledge, and love for the Lord have grown so much due to the foundational truths that are preached every Sunday from Pastor Mielke. He married my wife and I, baptized all 3 of our children, and was such a rock of a Shepherd when our oldest daughter was called home to be with the Lord. If you're looking for a Bible based church and want to learn the Bible's truths in an ever changing world. Ascension is your Church!”

“I’ve been calling Bayside my home church for about 10 years now, and I can honestly say I love everything about it. Pastor Craig and his wife Sandy are amazing leaders with genuine hearts for people. The childcare team is wonderful and takes such good care of my son, which means a lot to me as a parent. The worship band is incredible, and every service leaves me feeling encouraged and refreshed. My family and I truly feel blessed to have this church in our lives. If you’re looking for a Christian church that feels like home and points you toward God, I highly recommend Bayside.”

“I grew up in this church. So many formative and important moments in my young existence happened here or because of this church. Youth groups with Father Carl and Bob, the evening of 9/11 going to a special mass, my communion and confirmation. From all the miles away and years passed too, it’ll always have a special place to me.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Temple Sinai in Sarasota. Although my father had not been an active member of the congregation for many years, Rabbi Cohen and the entire Temple Sinai staff welcomed our family with incredible warmth, compassion, and kindness during a very difficult time. They created a beautiful, meaningful memorial service that truly honored my father's life and made our family feel supported every step of the way. The service was thoughtful, dignified, and personal, and everyone involved treated us with genuine care and respect.”
“Kind people sharing positive energy and respecting all people…it’s a beautiful thing. Unity is truly a warm and welcoming environment with wonderful music.”
“Finding a church where you can fully be yourself can be challenging, but this place is a sanctuary. They do not just tolerate diversity; they actively celebrate it. From the moment you walk in, the warmth and acceptance from the congregation are overwhelming.It is incredibly refreshing to attend a church that genuinely welcomes everyone, with a special, explicit embrace for the LGBTQ+ community. The sermons are uplifting, the people are kind, and the theology centers on radical love and grace. If you are looking for a safe, spiritual home where you are loved exactly as you are, look no further!!”

“Highly recommend the modern service for the upbeat music and more importantly the motivational (from the Bible) message. The pastor did a great job! He even including some congregational laughter and references to pop culture. My teenagers were able to stay focused on the sermon. 6th grade and younger attends a “kids church” where the volunteers were very welcoming. As first time guests, it was very fun and rewarding. We plan to return!
?️ Parking was plentiful. A large parking lot behind the church. Handicap ramps and entrance.”
“I have attended classes and meditation here many times over the past decade. This community has made a significant and beneficial impact on my life. A wonderful thing to have them in Sarasota.”
