We gather on Sundays at 5899 Whitfield Ave, #300, Sarasota, FL.

Services begin at 10:15AM on Sunday mornings and last about 75 minutes. If this is your first time to Living Hope Church, we recommend arriving about 10–15 minutes early so we can show you around, answer any questions you may have, and get you a fresh cup of coffee.

Services at Living Hope are casual, friendly, and last about 75 minutes. We love Jesus and passionately worship him! You can expect great music and an expository message from the Bible.

There’s plenty of parking in the parking lot. Visitor spots will be closer to the main doors for Suite 300.

Living Hope began with a small group of people burdened to see a church plant for the North Sarasota community that was fully devoted to Jesus and making followers of him.

Church planting is an important and intentional process. Our team has spent months praying and learning about being a church for everyone whose entire focus and mission is wrapped up in Jesus.

Today, you will meet some of our core team members in the form of greeters, worship volunteers, children's workers, and worshippers.

They can't wait to meet you and invite you into this amazing work that God is doing. What’s just as important as our past is where we are going today!

Living Hope Church is an autonomous church but not an isolated church. Living Hope Church is a part of the Great Commission Baptists. We were planted through Send Network of the North American Mission Board. You can find out more about these organizations by visiting their websites.

Please also check out our core beliefs under our About Us section!

Our Lead Pastor is Josh Komis but we are shepherded by a team of pastors. You can find out more about The Komis family and leadership team on our Leadership page here.

We love kids! Living Hope Kids is our exciting children’s ministry on Sunday mornings where your children can safely learn about Jesus and have a lot of fun with other kids their age.

We offer a nursery and pre-K room for children ages 6 mos–5yo. We also offer an exciting kids club for children ages 6yo–5th grade. (Of course, if you want your children to stay in worship with the whole family, that is fine with us!)

If your child has special needs or learning restrictions, please message us so we can let you know how we can serve your entire family.

Your child’s well-being is a priority to us, so every staff member and volunteer in Living Hope has been properly trained and gone through a thorough screening process, including a background check.

We also have a check in system so that only approved guardians can drop off and pick up their children at their classes.

We are working hard to lay the foundation for a solid student ministry!

We encourage middle school and high school students to attend and serve in main worship gatherings.

We have team members with a heart for students who are working to establish community and events just for them.

FYI, Josh and Lacey spent most of the past 10 years working in youth ministry, and they see HUGE potential in the lives of our Living Hope students for Jesus.

We are driven to be a church for everyone! We worship a Lord and Savior who died to redeem people from every background, ethnicity, and country.

Never been a part of a church before? Skeptical of Christianity? Burned out from the past? Weary and jaded?

We’re committed to help you on your spiritual journey and love you and answer your questions about Christ.

Absolutely! In fact, we started this church to help people just like you. We believe that you will find Living Hope Church to be a loving and gracious group of people.

Come as you are. We know you can find satisfaction and joy for your life in Jesus Christ.

If you’d like to have a personal conversation with one of our team members about Jesus, please simply contact us. Coffee will be on us!
