CURRENT SERIES SUMMARY

e+c=CL

To be more like Christ, we need empathy and compassion. Empathy lets us understand others’ feelings, moving us from judgment to connection. Compassion drives us to help and bring hope, showing Christ’s love and transforming both others and ourselves. Growing in these lets us live God’s selfless, patient, and kind love, as John 3:16 teaches.

Our Pastors

In January, 2020, after 20 years pastoring in South Florida and Northern Virginia, God called us to Winter Springs to start Authentic Church.  Planting a church in a global pandemic was...interesting.  Everything we learned, everything we thought we knew about the process of starting a new church went out the window.  But everything we felt about the heart behind planting Authentic Church remained true:  We want to live authentic lives.  We want to love like Jesus.  We want to help others do the same.
