One Church, Many Experiences
CE Family
Join our CE family and grow in your personal relationship with God, build long-term friendships with great people, experience powerful worship music together, hear an inspiring message from the Bible, and make a difference with your life through serving! We also have Kid Experience (birth to 5th grade) and Student Experience (6th-12th grade). We have the strength of being ‘one church’ (not a denomination, network, or association), but every CE location is a unique local experience. Each campus has a Lead Pastor, groups, local outreach, and more! We’re saving a spot for you!
Our Story
On January 11, 2014 Brandon & Jennifer Bruce arrived in the Clearwater (FL) area with a God-given vision to start a multiplying church. On January 19, 2014, 9 adults and 6 kids gathered in an apartment living room in Clearwater. Then, exactly one year from when the Bruce family arrived, Church Experience launched on January 11, 2015. It was an incredible moment that impacted hundreds of people, but only the beginning of a greater movement to help more people experience a full life in Jesus Christ! Since that time, a growing number of people have experienced God’s amazing grace and love! After much prayer and planning, God began to birth our “Better Together” vision in 2019, making CE “one church with many experiences.” New campuses are being added regularly through church planting and through mergers.
