Who We Are

The Gainesville International Christian Church stands as a vibrant and diverse non-denominational Christian community nestled in the heart of Gainesville, Florida. Our foundation is deeply rooted in the sacred scriptures of the Bible, and we actively strive to embody its teachings in our day-to-day lives.

Our congregation embodies the passage of Matthew 28:19, uniting Christians from various cultural backgrounds around the globe. At our church, you’ll find believers spanning all ages and walks of life – from single professionals to married couples, mature Christians to university students. Here, every individual finds a welcoming space to connect and build meaningful relationships with one another.

As one of the non-denominational churches in Gainesville, we extend a heartfelt invitation to fellow Christians in search of a welcoming local community and to those who are thinking of starting their journey with Christ for the first time.

Our outreach extends far beyond our church walls, engaging at the heart of the University of Florida through our dynamic student organization, Bold Campus Ministry. Actively engaging students from UF and Santa Fe, we foster a positive and inspiring community on campus. Furthermore, our commitment to community well-being is demonstrated through the Gainesville branch of Mercy Worldwide, the benevolent arm of our church movement. We also collaborate with Gainesville Community Ministry to contribute positively to the broader community.

Join us on this encouraging journey of faith and fellowship. Whether you’re seeking a spiritual home or simply curious about Christianity, you are warmly welcome at the Gainesville International Christian Church.

The vibrant ministry we cultivate in Gainesville is sustained by the boundless generosity of God’s devoted followers. It is through your joyful tithes and offerings that this ministry flourishes, enabling us to support both those committed to full-time service for the Lord and the various needs within our congregation. Contributing to our ministry in Gainesville is not just a present-day act of giving; it is an investment in shaping a future filled with profound impact and positive change. Your generous gifts of tithes and offerings are akin to planting seeds of transformation that will bear fruit in the days, months, and years to come.

Your contributions are a tangible expression of your faith, obedience, and gratitude. We humbly request that you faithfully support and join us in fulfilling God’s vision for Gainesville. 

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart what to give, not reluctantly of under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:7-8
