Why Tampa Heights?
-
Strategic Location
Tampa Heights is centrally located among The Heights District, Ybor City, Downtown, South Tampa and West Tampa. A church in this location has the potential to draw from a wide range of people making it key for gospel ministry and multiplication.
-
Gospel Need
72% of the residents are not involved in a religious community and 35% claim no religious preference. Therefore, there is a need for gospel-driven churches to come alongside the people of the city to love, serve, and share the good news of Jesus.
-
Rapid Growth
Downtown & Tampa Heights are expected to grow by 119% in twenty years. People are moving here for the beautiful weather and the favorable job market. In 2021, Forbes ranked Tampa as the number one emerging tech city in the U.S. With this population increase there will be a need for new churches to match the growth.
-
Campus Ministry Opportunity
University of Tampa is within a ten-minute drive of Tampa Heights, providing an excellent opportunity to minister to the campus. Part of our vision will be to partner with Campus Outreach Central Florida to establish a ministry and reach college students at this university.
