Who we are
Providence Church is a Reformed Evangelical fellowship of believers whose purpose is to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things by proclaiming Christ, faithfully teaching, and living out the foundational principle that Christ is all in all. Our mission can be summarized in the Latin phrase “Omnia et in omnibus Christus,” Christ all and in all.
As a member of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), Providence stands with the church catholic and is committed to the historic Christian faith that was preached by the Apostles, taught by the Church Fathers, preached by the Protestant Reformers, and expressed in historic Evangelical orthodoxy. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives as it is preached with biblical faithfulness and clarity and enjoyed at the Lord's Table. Providence is utterly committed to the inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of Scripture as the Word of God.
The gospel can be summarized by five Latin phrases that emerged from the Protestant Reformation as slogans identifying the truth of salvation:
Sola Scriptura: Scripture is our sole authority for what we are to believe and how we are to live.
Sola Fide: Salvation from sin is through faith alone in Christ Jesus
Sola Gratia: Salvation is by grace alone and not by human merit
Solus Christus: Salvation is found only in Christ’s atoning work on the cross
Soli Deo Gloria: We are to give glory to God alone by recognizing that all things are of Him and through Him and to Him

Providence Church History
Providence began in the fall of 2001 when four families began meeting in homes for Bible study and worship. The Lord confirmed our desire to begin a local church and added to our number. The fellowship called David Bryant as the founding pastor, and Providence Community Church began meeting at Gull Point Community Center in Pensacola, Florida. The church was formally constituted as a local expression of the Body of Christ in April 2002.
In January 2003, Providence began meeting at University Parkway Seventh Day Adventist Church and called Alan Stout, already an elder, to be a staff elder. It moved in 2007 to the University of West Florida and remained there until 2008. In late 2008, the saints of Providence extended a call to Pastor Uri Brito, who became the first full-time pastor of the church. The church has found a permanent residence at Trinitas Christian School, where they have met for over fifteen years. Providence continues to be a faithful witness to the gospel of grace in Escambia County.

I want to know Thee
Father, I want to know Thee, but my coward heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of the parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious. Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there. In Jesus Name, Amen.
