Our Welcome Statement
We are a small, friendly, caring congregation that opens its doors to all people, just as Jesus would. We are committed to being a community that enables individuals to grow in their faith daily, and encourages each person to embody the unconditional love of Christ. We are a little bit of an unconventional congregation as we meet weekly for worship at 9:30 am every Sunday, choosing to rent rather than to have our own building, as we truly believe that the "church" is its people, and the work that it does to spread the hope filled Gospel message. After the worship service please join us for fellowship time and refreshments so that we can get to know each other better. Our congregation was founded in 2004. Ever since, we have been an active member in supporting the Pembroke Pines Community, and are seeking more people that are looking to embody what it means to Live out our Faith, not just on Sundays, but in our daily lives.
A Word of Welcome from Our Pastor
Rev. Jonathan Gantt
Grace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ! I want to welcome you to Living Faith and thank you for your virtual visit. At Living Faith, it is our joy and honor to be called to serve Pembroke Pines and the surrounding area where, according to the most recent census data, at least 128 different languages are spoken. We are a church that is blessed to be made up of people from many different locations, cultures, and walks of life. Given that we were all born children of God, we at Living Faith are commited to full inclusion and seek to grow spiritually toward that end. When God called my family to move here, these were the things that caught our eye and excited us. What excites you? Dig a little deeper on our site and maybe visit us in person and experience the love and fellowship that are unique to Living Faith.

About us
What is a Lutheran?
As Lutherans, we believe that our relationship with God depends on God’s love for us and not on our own goodness or perfection. In Jesus Christ, God has broken down the barriers that separate us from God and one another. Freed from the need to be perfect or to save ourselves, we are free to love God with our whole heart and our neighbors as ourselves.
When Is Our Worship Service?
Living Faith Lutheran meets for worship every Sunday at 9:30 am.
We meet at:
West Broward Hall,
927 NW 178th Avenue
Pembroke Pines, FL
The purpose of our worship service is to bring you joy! Services last about an hour and include a children’s sermon. Each week we celebrate Holy Communion. Anyone who is a baptized Christian and who believes that Christ is truly present in the meal is welcome to join us at the Lord’s Table. After the service, we offer a social get-together with refreshments and coffee.
