JOIN US ON SUNDAYS
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 ready to welcome you back.
Don't miss your chance to be a part of this historic church. Join us for services and CF Kids on Sundays at 9:00 AM, 10:45 AM or 12:30 PM, or connect during the week through CF Small Groups, CF Students and CF Young Adults.
