Who We Are

Gather Grow Go

What we believe:

At Feather Sound Church, we believe in the following core truths:

- The Scriptures are true, authoritative, and sufficient. (Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

- There is only one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 46:9-10; John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 1 Timothy 2:5)

- The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully God, yet distinct from one another. (Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:13-17; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6)

- All humanity, except Christ, is born sinful by nature and action. (Genesis 6:5; Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-3)

- The penalty for sin is both physical and spiritual death. (Genesis 2:15-17; Romans 6:23; James 1:14-15)

- Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was born of a virgin and is both fully God and fully human. (Matthew 1:20; John 1:1-4, 14; Hebrews 1:1-3)

- Jesus died as a substitute, paying the penalty for our sins. (John 1:29; Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 3:18)

- Jesus physically rose from the dead. (Matthew 28:1-20; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34)

- Jesus ascended into heaven and will one day physically return. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 1:7)

- We believe in the resurrection of the dead—those who trust in Christ will receive eternal reward, and those who do not will face eternal punishment. (Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29)

- Only by trusting in Jesus Christ alone can we be reconciled to God, receive salvation, and experience true life and joy. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21-26)

- God created humanity as male and female, in His image, and all life is sacred from conception to natural death. (Psalm 139:13; Jeremiah 1:5; Romans 12:20-21)

- God's plan for marriage is between one biological man and one biological woman, and sexual relationships should only be expressed within this context. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; 1 Corinthians 6:9)

These beliefs shape our mission and guide our community in glorifying God and sharing His love with the world.

Our History

We are a visionary church, believing that God is always working, and always has been! We enjoy tracing God's hand through all the events that brought our congregation to this place and time.
Feather Sound Church was planted in 1979 by a group of people who came to faith in Christ through a Billy Graham crusade in Tampa Bay. They realized the need for a Bible-teaching and evangelistic church in the developing community of Feather Sound, and began to hold meetings for corporate worship at the Feather Sound Country Club.
 
The group grew in size along with the surrounding community. Feather Sound's developer donated the church's land, located right on Feather Sound Drive, that would eventually support a multi-purpose two-story sanctuary. Officially rooted at its own location, Feather Sound Church continued to expand into a second building used for education, hospitality, childcare and events.
As Feather Sound Church looks to the future, we desire to be a church that ministers to the lost and disciples believers to grow in their relationships with Christ. We welcome everyone to join with us as we embark on the next chapters of God's story! 

The Logo

Why we chose our logo. 

The cross is a central symbol of the teaching of Scripture.
 
The sun behind the cross is an allusion to the famous Easter morning photo that proclaims 'HE is risen.' Also, because the church is located in Florida, the Sunshine State, we thought it appropriate to showcase the sun, reminding us of the even brighter shining Son! The fragmented rays of the sun represents the beautiful stain glass scene of sunshine and trees, located in our sanctuary.
 

Additionally, the community of Feather Sound borders the water; therefore, the ocean-blue color of the cross paired with the bright yellow sun further indicates our place of worship.
 
The circular shape of the logo represents the globe and our desire to spread the Gospel throughout the earth.
