I decided not to go. Attended service at my church instead. Perhaps I'll visit some time in the near future

I went this past weekend and it was a great experience. The pastor is interesting, and the church is beautiful and clean. I can tell a lot of work went into maintaining and caring for the church. God bless yall.

Good day my name is Maxim Bogomolov 1982 y.b. I am from Ukraine, namely from the suburbs of Kharkov, I am raising 2 children ( Liza 22 years old and Timur 9 years old) my house was bombed, my children at the beginning of the war sent to Poland, the eldest daughter works as a waiter and supports the younger - I was not released from the country for a long time, at the moment I left - but there is almost no work for 40 year old people here - I am in my old age left with nothing, although before the war I had everything. That's why my only chance to earn money to raise my children is to move to the USA - that's why I ask you to become my sponsor - as I don't have any US citizens I know - I have not much capital for moving - I want to work as a driver - it's good for me - I was engaged in motorsport in my youth - 3 times won the championship of Ukraine on rally. If you have such an opportunity contact me+380730181182 on this phone there is a signal, watsap and telegram

I was baptized in this church in 1949 and was married in this church in 1968. My Dad was a deacon and my mother taught Sunday school for the 2-4 year olds (kindergarten) for 24 years. I was active in their youth group as we did many meaningful things. Even went on a mission trip to Yucatan. Dr. Dahlberg was unbelievable, the Chancel Choir was unreal and so were the all the members that attended. Such memories I have of a wonderful Church family. The Easter Egg hunts use to be held next-door in the park.

I specially love the free yoga classes every Wednesdays 6:30p, right behind the church and foods .

What a historical gem sat in the heart of Brickell, located near the sea and standing majestic in its own right amongst all the sleek modern high rise architecture. Here is some information regarding this place. Prior to the First Presbyterian Church, the lot at 609 Brickell Avenue was the location of the home for Edna Rickmers. First Presbyterian purchased the lot at 609 Brickell Avenue in 1948. The church was built and opened in 1949. Andre and Edna Rickmers bought the lot at 609 Brickell Avenue from Mary Brickell shortly after arriving in Miami. The couple arrived to Miami in 1905, a year after they got married in Pittsburgh. Edna was from Pittsburgh and her husband was a ship builder from Germany. He was listed as retired in the 1908 Miami City Directory. The couple was listed at 1805 Brickell (later changed to 609 Brickell), as early as 1908. It is likely they built the home in the cover photograph between 1905 and 1907. Andre and Edna were very active in real estate in the growing Miami area. The couple owned a fair amount of property in today's Omni neighborhood. They also owned the land where the Olympia Theater resides. It was actually Edna Rickmers that gave the building the name "Olympia Theater and Office Building" in 1926. However, Andre was not alive to see the building of the Olympia. It isn't clear the year he died, but Edna Rickmers was listed as a widow by the 1918 Miami City Directory. The home at 609 Brickell Avenue was set toward the back of part of the lot. It was very common for homes on the east side of Brickell Avenue to be located closer to the bay and a distance from Brickell Avenue. The home was razed in 1948 to make room for the church. Following the sale of the property to the church, Edna Rickmers moved a few blocks south to a mansion located at 1927 Brickell Avenue. She lived in this mansion until her death in February of 1956

The warmth. Love, sense of Commitment, Pastor Dr. Beneck & his lovely family. My friends Deacon Mike Mahan, wonderful kind Joyce, my friends Melissa, Johan & Drew; the choir especially the 9AM Service. The sense of community, congregating in Narthex and so much more!

Christopher Benek is running this church like a dictatorship.
I applaud the entrepreneurs who are active almost everyday of the week in the parking lot behind First Miami Presbyterian Church.Today I had tacos from @taconmadre.fl (Instagram) and a strawberry banana smoothie from Acai&Fruits (@acaifruitsmiami). There are a total of 7 vendors here. Stop by and support the church and these great entrepreneurs. It would be great to see a Brunch Box option here like the ones prepared by @brunch_box_miami.

The people of this church never answered to my letters for help three years ago and it's not good.
