Our Driving Passion.
And then He told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” - Mark 16:15 NLT
We’re Cypress Meadows Community Church, and we’re really glad you’re here. We’re a non-denominational church in Clearwater serving the Tampa Bay area, and while there are a lot of great churches around us, Cypress exists to offer something a little different. Our heart is to create a safe, authentic place where you can belong—even before you believe. We keep things casual and welcoming on Sundays, with modern worship and messages that help make Scripture practical, accessible, and meaningful for real, everyday life. Wherever you are on your faith journey, you’re welcome here.
It may be short and sweet, but it’s loaded with meaning. Let’s unpack that.
“Bring” means it relational and invitational. This isn’t just a corporate mission—it’s personal for everyone who follows Jesus.
“Everyone” isn’t about numbers; it’s about who we’re called to love and serve. When we say everyone, we picture the skeptic, the doubter, the spiritually burned-out; someone who has maybe tried church but never felt like they belonged. Bottom line: we’re here for you, no matter who you are.
“Closer to God” is what the journey is all about—step by step, following Jesus and becoming more like Him.
Our Mission:
Bring everyone closer to God
Our Values:
When it comes to living out this mission, we keep it simple. Everything we do is designed to help people take these
foundational steps in their faith journey:
Pursue Jesus
Join our weekly gatherings where we celebrate, explore Scripture, and connect with each other. It's how we grow closer to Jesus—and to one another.
Practice the way of Jesus
Dive into life-changing relationships in our small groups and ministry teams. Together, we're learning to live as Jesus did, supporting each other every step of the way.
Let's bring Jesus' mission to life right where we are—with neighbors, coworkers, classmates, or anyone you meet. Your daily interactions can make an eternal difference.
Partner in the mission of Jesus
Our Beliefs
What do we believe? First of all—we hold to the historic tenets of the Christian faith. If you want the details, you can read our statements of faith.
But in addition to that…
We believe church should be a safe environment, filled with people you actually enjoy being around.
We believe messages should be rooted in Scripture and genuinely helpful for everyone.
We believe kids and teens should love church so much that they’re dragging their parents out the door every Sunday morning.
We believe the songs we sing aren’t to entertain us, but to help us encounter the love of God.
We believe you matter and are worthy of God’s love.
We believe good coffee makes everything just a little better.
We believe we’re all at different places on our faith journey—and that’s okay.
We believe the church is a family. And in a family, you don’t shake hands… you hug. But if a fist bump feels safer, we respect that too.
We believe God’s grace is the most powerful force in the cosmos—big enough to handle all the hurts, habits, and hang-ups we bring with us.
Most importantly, we believe that Jesus changes lives, whole families, and entire communities. And that’s good news of great joy for all people… including you.
Everyone is Welcome.
Seriously. Every week at Cypress, Christians and non-Christians, seekers and skeptics, fired-up and burned out all come together in search of answers to life’s great questions. There’s always room for more. We hope to see you soon!
