ABOUT US.

We exist to do whatever it takes for you to know the love of Jesus and live out your God-given purpose.

In 2016, God gave David & Courtney Philips a vision to plant a church in Clearwater, FL. In faith, they moved their family in 2017, built an incredible team, and launched Real Church on September 16, 2018.
Since then, God has transformed countless lives, and we’re excited for all He has in store. At Real Church, we’re passionate about helping people know Jesus and step into their God-given purpose—because the best is yet to come!

WHAT IS REAL CHURCH LIKE?

TOGETHER WE...

From the very beginning, we were created for community. God Himself declared, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” On our own, we can only do so much, but together, we embody the body of Christ, thriving in unity and purpose. At Real Church, we’re committed to doing life together.

Genesis 2:18 | Romans 12:5

LOVE BOLDLY

Real Church strives to be known for radically loving people with the same transformative, unconditional love that Jesus has for us. He gave His life for us even in our mess, and we are committed to loving others boldly, no matter who they are or what their story may be.

Romans 2:4 | 1 John 4:11

COMMUNICATE TRANSPARENTLY

At Real Church, we are committed to fostering a culture of open, honest communication to truly understand one another. We believe growth happens when we share openly and listen with the compassion and love of Christ.

2 Corinthians 6:11 | Ephesians 4:2, 4:25 | James 5:16

CREATE WITH EXCELLENCE

God’s creation reflects His excellence, inspiring awe and drawing people to Him. At Real Church, we are committed to creating with that same standard of excellence to inspire and encourage deeper relationships with God.

Ephesians 5:1 | Colossians 3:23 | Titus 2:7
