Matthew Klimis

I believe in a uncompromising, immovable form of Christianity that reeks of passion and bleeds the Heart of God. I believe in what I call a "dirty-Christianity." Its the down and dirty, unshakeable faith in the Lord Jesus that is not moved by what one sees or hears but is moved by the very voice of the Lord. I do believe in a victorious church but even Christ Jesus, knowing the end from the beginning, sweated tears of blood before climbing up that hill to the cross to lay His life down. My prayer for the church is that our Christianity would not be expressed through eloquent words and speech, but in power through our actions in the face of adversity and uncertainty. When the trials come and the enemy seems to have the victory, we would stand and declare the Word of God without hesitation because of who we serve and the price that was paid. This form of Christianity is not here to alienate or be the "right-winged church folk" who sever all relations with the "ungodly." This form of Christianity walks in love, giving the same grace that was given to each of us as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We love the sinner but hate the Sin that we all were born into. This is what I call believing in a "dirty-Christianity." It is not pretty and it sure as heck is not sitting on the first row every sunday playing church and going through the motions. It is an immovable, unshakeable faith that the Lord Jesus is good all the time no matter what our situation may seem to look like. That being said... I am Worship Pastor and I also work in the Real Estate buisness. I have had the privilege of leading worship and touching lives at various churches in the Tampa Bay area and I am also a graduate of the University of South Florida, with a B.A. in Religion/Theology. While I was at USF, I studied and performed classical and contemporary voice for three years and I was on the USF Baseball team.
