Pastors Message

Since March of 2004 I have been blessed with the privilege of serving the Lord as pastor of East Sligh Avenue Baptist Church. We are a Bible believing independent Baptist church. Our purpose is to reach people with the gospel of Christ. We also are here to strengthen families and individuals as they serve the Lord. There is no doubt that God wants everyone to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and be a part of a local Bible believing church. God has placed in my heart a burden for the greater Tampa area and helping people find their place in His service. I would like to invite you to come and be with us in our services. May the Lord bless you.
