The Best is Before Us

The Origin Story

Every great story has its origins. This is ours. Spanish River gets its name from where we first met on Spanish River Boulevard. Today, we're a multiethnic gathering of people whose lives have been reoriented by God. We are unified because we understand how God's love has been extended to us. As a result, we enjoy extending God's love to others. 

For nearly 60 years, Spanish River Church has remained dedicated to the principles of our founding pastor, David Nicholas. David was succeeded by Tommy Kiedis until 2019. In June of 2020, we introduced our third lead pastor, David Cassidy. Through God’s immeasurable love and grace, we have had the privilege of opening our very own Private School, Counseling Center, and partnered to plant over 600 churches worldwide.

While our facilities and presence in the community have grown over time, we have always maintained that church is so much more than a place you "go to." Instead, it's a people who experience, model, and share the good news of God's love, and we believe that the best is before us.
