In October 2015, God planted a vision in the hearts of David and Courtney Philips to start a church in Clearwater, Florida— a city they hadn’t even known the location of when they accepted His call. Trusting His lead, they moved their family to Clearwater in July 2017 and began building a launch team through prayer, meetings, and outreach. By God’s grace, an incredible team came together, and on September 16, 2018, Real Church held its first service in the auditorium of Clearwater High School. Since then, countless lives have been transformed as people step into a relationship with Jesus and discover their God-given purpose. The journey has been worth every step, and we believe the best is yet to come!
