YOU aren’t meant to do life ALONE.

These groups offer an incredible opportunity to deepen your faith and build meaningful friendships. There’s truly a group for everyone, no matter where you are in your walk with Christ. From outdoor adventures and fitness meetups to Bible studies and prayer gatherings, each group is designed to draw you closer to the Lord and surround you with a Christ-centered community.

This is where real relationships grow as we share life’s highs and lows together. Through Bible studies and community, we strengthen our faith and encourage one another.

Meet Tyler & Esther

Tyler and Esther got married in October 2025 and shortly after moved to the Ybor area, looking for a church within walking distance. After a quick Google search, they found Relevant Church and visited one Sundayβ€”immediately feeling at home.

They’ve been deeply impacted by the kindness and hospitality of the pastors, staff, and church community, who consistently greet them by name and foster a welcoming, service-driven environment.

Pastor Paul and his wife Susie, along with the Worship Pastor Erik and his wife Ally, took them out to lunch in Ybor, creating a meaningful time of fellowship and connection. About a month later, they joined the Belong Class, which helped them feel even more rooted and confident in their decision to make Relevant their home church.

They are now excited to begin serving on the media team and continue growing in their faith. They’ve also joined a young couples Bible study that meets biweekly and have found it to be a great source of encouragement, community, and spiritual growth.
