The story of god
First Qtr of 2025
Anyone who wants to understand their own story must understand the gospel story of Jesus told throughout the Bible.
The Story of God, one of three studies in the Deep Dive series, is an 8-week, group-discipleship resource exploring the overarching redemptive narrative of the Bible. Traveling chronologically from Genesis to Revelation, this study will remove the intimidation factor and allow participants to discover the story of Jesus on every page of the Bible. This discovery will equip participants to join Jesus in that big story.

Woodland Downtown
First Tuesday of Each Month
a new church experience
Location: Oscura 816 Manatee Ave E, Bradenton, FL 34208
Our gatherings will have more of a "small group" feel. Pastor Tim Passmore will offer a short message to everyone which then will transition into small group discussions. It's like going to a coffee chat/discussion with friends. The messages will parallel the sermons that are given on Sundays at the Main Woodland Campus but be shorter and more discussion-oriented. Come expecting a new experience! Also, this location will not have any Children's programming, but we do offer quite a bit for children & students at our main campus if interested! If you are interested in learning more tap the button above!

West Side Community Group Dinner/Interest Meeting
December 11 @ 6:30pm
Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together to know God more. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you where you live.
For this event we are calling all people that live West of the Interstate to a dinner and interest meeting on Wednesday, November 11 at 6:30pm at Woodland. We would love to gather together, eat dinner, and share vision for what we are calling small group "pods". If you are able to come please Sign Up using the button above!

GLORIA
a Christmas Program
Sunday, Dec 8 @ 9am & 11am
Christmas at Woodland this year will be called Gloria and will be a special program in lieu of our normal Sunday services at both 9 & 11AM. The program will combine a multi-generational choir from within and outside of Woodland, orchestral members from the Sarasota Music Conservatory, WFA dance ensembles, soloists', a small drama team, and various video elements that all point towards celebrating Jesus as our Savior and Lord. Songs include fresh arrangements of modern carols mixed with a Christmas worship experience for the whole family.
While we’ll still have regular children’s programming that Sunday, you’re more than welcome to bring the entire family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends who might like to experience the joy of Jesus this Christmas celebrated through the creative arts.
