The Family Church at Christian Retreat

About this church

The Family Church at Christian Retreat is an evangelical, non-denominational church at 1200 Glory Way Boulevard in Bradenton, Florida, just off Upper Manatee River Road on a riverside property. Sunday worship begins at 10:45 a.m., and a midweek service is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. The site describes a Sunday that starts with a flag team directing guests to reserved first-time visitor parking, free coffee in the lobby, kids check-in, live worship, and a practical message, with the service ending around 12:15 p.m. Services can be watched online, and a church app carries sermon notes, podcasts, and the calendar.

On Sunday mornings, children from nursery through age 10 attend Kids Church, using secure check-in and background-checked volunteers. Middle and high school students gather for Youth Group on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. Life Groups meet at various places around Bradenton, with options for men, women, and couples, and there is also a senior adults ministry. The church publishes a daily encouragement podcast and a weekly recorded phone message, and an annual week-long Feast of Tabernacles celebration is listed among its events. A plan-your-visit form lets newcomers share when they are coming and request a reserved parking spot. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
