GRAND OPENING
DECEMBER 8TH
Located in the heart of Downtown Miami on the corner of 5th Street & 1st Avenue is a biblically-grounded, historic church.
Established in 1896, Christ Fellowship's Downtown Campus has been a beacon of hope and light in the City of Miami for over a century. After decades of faithful service, the historic building closed its doors in 2018 for a much-needed transformation. Now, after six years of renovations and remodeling, this beloved landmark is nearly ready to welcome you back.
Don't miss your chance to be a part of this historic reopening. Join us on December 8th as we step into a brand new chapter together.
