What brought you to Fort Lauderdale? Born and raised

What do you love about CityChurch? I’ve always loved the atmosphere of CityChurch. The people are always extremely warm and welcoming and CityChurch has always been vocal about its love for the city of Ft. Lauderdale, my hometown. For me, its one of the reasons I love this church and why its such a special place.
