We have been praying about ways to make our Lakeland Florida Churches directory more accessible to churches in this difficult economic climate. We have come up with some exciting new options for Lakeland Florida Churches.

We know that Lakeland Florida Churches need to be good stewards of their budgets and we are currently offering some of the best church advertising deals on the Internet. We have four different levels of involvement and one of these plans will surely fit your Lakeland Florida Churches budget.

1.) Highlighted Church ($99 to $199 /year)

We have three spaces available on our Lakeland Florida Churches directory site for “Highlighted Churches”. Our highlighted churches receive advertising coverage on one of our corner peel away ads. These ads are the most visited places on our websites. People are drawn to the ads because they want to see what is there.

The ads are located in the top right corner ($199/year as this is the most visited area on the site), top left corner ($149/year as the second most visited area on the site) and the bottom left corner ($99/year as the third most visited area of the site) of our Lakeland Florida Churches site. As a highlighted church you will see the most Internet traffic produced by the Lakeland Florida Churches website. We will link directly to your existing website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year at Church Webmaster) as well as develop a tailored page for your church on the directory. You will also receive all of the benefits of the Featured and Suggested Church categories as well.

2.) Featured Church ($39/year)

As a “Featured Church” your church will be one of twelve Lakeland Florida Churches that are placed on the scroller at the top of our church directory sites.

We will link directly to your existing website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year at Church Webmaster) as well as develop a tailored page for your Lakeland Florida church on the directory. You will also receive all of the benefits of the Suggested Church category as well.

3.) Suggested Church ($19/year)

As a “Suggested Church” your church will be listed with a hot link in the middle column of our Lakeland Florida Churches site just below the Featured Churches. We will also give you a hot link to your existing church website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year at Church Webmaster) on your free Lakeland Florida churches listing on the site. People are more likely to visit your site with a hot link then if they have to type in your URL (website address).

4.) Free Church Listing

With your free “Church listing” on our Lakeland Florida Churches directory you can send us articles about your church which we will publish on the site. These articles can promote the activities and ministries of your Lakeland Florida church and will help to attract visitors to your existing website (if you do not have a church website, we can develop and maintain one for you for as little as $199/year at Church Webmaster) and church.

We know that the Lakeland Florida Churches directory will bring visitors to your church! How do we know? We get a lot of visitors to our church who tell us that they found us on the Internet. Our church is in the Florida Keys and when you search for churches in the Florida Keys our directory shows up. Our church has one of the corner ads and it connects with people who are looking for a church. Check it out by clicking here “Florida Keys Churches“, and then run your mouse over the peel away ad in the top right corner.

If you are ready to take advantage of one of these great offers for your church, or if you have any questions, fill out the Contact form or call us at 305-304-6321.

The search for a church that’s right for you can often be a lengthy and frustrating experience. Lakeland Florida Churches is here to help simplify the process for you. The following is a list of questions and ideas to help you in your search for a church.

1. Do you have a particular denomination you are looking for?

Throughout Lakeland you will find many denominations represented. There are Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, Nazarene, Episcopal and more. There are also some excellent non-denominational churches in Lakeland.

2. What beliefs are important to you?

This is a question that you need to get answered pretty quickly when you begin to attend a new church. Ask someone for the church’s Statement of Faith and see if they hold to the beliefs that are important to you.

3. What style of worship is important to you?

Do you enjoy a more casual and contemporary approach or something more formal and liturgical? Both of these types of services are available in churches in Lakeland.

4. Do you like larger or smaller churches?

As in any area there are a wide range of smaller and larger churches here in Lakeland.

5. Do they offer ministries that interest you?

You need to find out what ministries the church offers. Do they have bible studies? Children’s programs? Youth Group? Check with the church to see what they offer.

6. Before you go you might want to contact the church.

It might be a good idea to either call or email the church before you go and ask any questions you might have. You should also see if the church has a website that might help to answer your questions.

As you look for a church remember there are no perfect churches. You do need to find a church where you feel like you are connecting with God, a place where people’s lives are being changed, and a place where you can have a sense of belonging and community. If you can find these things you have probably found the church for you.

One of the Lakeland Florida Churches you should visit is the Lakeland Vineyard Church. Here is an invitation from the the Pastor, Dave Baker:

Hi! I’m Dave Baker, and I’d like to welcome you to the Lakeland Vineyard.

Our desire is to be a relationally based fellowship. We are worship intensive and Word driven, and are in quest of the “radical middle” where the Spirit (experiential reality) and the Word (objective reality) merge. Our dress is casual, but we’re serious about experiencing the presence of God. It’s also our goal to see every person reach his or her full potential in Jesus.

From our inception in 1991 we felt God was leading us to function as a cell church. This is known as a “two-winged” approach to doing church. We call the two wings Celebration and Home Groups . We have come to understand that both wings are vital and of equal importance to the development and spiritual growth of the individual believer.

On Sunday morning we have our weekly Celebration Services . This is when our Home Group members and our visitors gather to celebrate the Lord through singing, giving, teaching and ministry.

Our home groups meet throughout the week in various homes in our area. We consider them to be basic Christian communities where relational Christianity is practiced and the individuals’ gifts and callings are developed.

Sound like something you’ve been looking for? Let me encourage you to come and check us out!

Pastor Dave
