Next Level Church cut the ribbon on its new Downtown Fort Myers Location on Sunday – the Church says this opens new doors for helping the community through partnerships with Lee Community Healthcare and St. Matthews House.
Cheers filled the air as the ribbon was snipped on Sunday. The building on Martin Luther King Drive, once a grocery store, will now take on a whole new mission. Church leaders say it’s a shining moment for the community.
“This is way more than just opening a church building. This is saying to this community that we love you. We honor you. You matter to us and you matter to god.”
While Sunday services are a big draw, lead pastor Matt Keller said the building is much more. In addition to youth classes, Keller said they will use the old loading bays to store supplies for hurricane relief.
Plus, on one side of the building, Lee Community Healthcare is opening a clinic for those that might not have access to care otherwise, while St. Matthews House will provide transitional housing on the other.
