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.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
