How it all started...
On Jan 5th, 1997 Founding Pastors, Brian & Paula Royer faithfully started this congregation with 8 people in a living room. After planting a Church in Cape Coral, they felt the call to Manatee County, left & never looked back. Without a Church building, they rented space inside of local schools, starting at Jesse P. Miller, leading their church in God's favor. Without a home-base, they still had Sunday service, Kids Church, Royal Rangers & Girls Ministries. In 2005, God gave them our current beautiful church building in downtown Bradenton.
With just an outreach truck called, " The Celebration station" doing sidewalk ministries and knocking on doors, City Life Church's foundation was laid for years to come. Since then, they have moved on to plant Passion Church in Parrish, FL but serve as advisors to the current Pastor & Staff.
Expanding the vision...
After leading our Student Ministry for 8 years, City Life welcomed Pastor Dion & Angela Daniels as our new Pastors in January of 2018.
Their hearts are to see people from all walks of life, come into a relationship with Jesus and experience that new life together with them. Along with their 3 daughters, Downtown Bradenton has become our mission field. Community matters here and harvesting a passion for that community in our Church will make all the difference.

Where we are headed...
Building a community starts with building relationships. From our Kids Church to our Senior Saints, the dream is not accomplished alone.
"You don't go as far as your Dream, you go as far as your Team." Connecting to a team whether it's a small group, experience team ( Sunday morning serve-team), or a local community organization, will allow us, at City Life Church, to make an impact on the life of those who don't know Him yet, but see His Love and Good Works through us.
