We serve in the region of southwest Florida from Tampa Bay in Manatee county south to Marco Island in Collier County. We cover Manatee, Sarasota, DeSoto, Charlotte, Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Collier.

HISTORY
Suncoast Florida Presbytery was formed in June 2004. Since then we have planted three Anglo churches, one Haitian church. In July 2015, presbytery boundaries were redrawn to include the counties of Manatee, Sarasota, DeSoto, Charlotte, Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Collier which added seven more churches.
The Suncoast (the southwest Gulf Coast of Florida) is an area of the country which experienced extensive growth. The Hispanic and Haitian communities are growing even more rapidly than those flocking to the land of sunshine from the northern States. The challenges to plant churches to meet the growing multicultural population are great opportunities for us. We are grateful that the Lord is enabling us to be agents of His redemption, as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ among people who can often be distracted by the sun, sand, and sea.
We invite you to visit any one of our churches when you come to the land of "fun
in the sun".
