A letter from Pastor Banks

I don't live a perfect life but I live a purposeful life. This is important to say upfront because life is not perfect, but in Christ, we find our purpose beyond our imperfections. I love and live for my beautiful wife and two beautiful kiddos with all I am and am striving to build a legacy for their lives to thrive on. We also have two cute dogs named Lady and Ladybug.

God has blessed me with the gifts of music, teaching, preaching, leadership, and serving. My favorite foods are Cheese~N~Mac, Pizza and Pineapples. I love to read books about real life (non-fiction). I love listening to inspirational and educational podcasts while working out or driving. I enjoy Basketball, Football, MMA, Animated and Action Movies, ALL types of music (from Hip Hop to Classical to Gospel to Contemporary Christian).

My aim in ministry is to see people united across differing socio-political-economical-ideological-and all other life paths through the message and mission of Jesus Christ. I am more than a fan of Christ, I am a follower and a friend of Jesus Christ. With the help of a great team, we are spreading the love and grace of Jesus Christ throughout St. Petersburg, FL and beyond. I hope you will come give me a fist bump or a hug, hear my heart and connect with this movement of wholeness.

Peace,
Pastor Oscar
