About our Church
Philadelphia Haitian Baptist Church began in 1988 as five families met in Winter Haven to have a Bible study. This Bible study grew into a community of believers who helped others enter into the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. This was a time in church history when the "Jesus Movement" was in full swing and church were receiving more. God blessed the church, and in October of 2001, they moved into their own building with about 50+members.
