Sarasota Christian Church was formed in January, 1973 with the desire to become a congregation that would minister to people in every stage of life. The church initially met at a restaurant appropriately named "The King's Table," and later met for worship at the Youth for Christ Teen Center on the corner of Swift and Ashton Roads.

Soon the present site of 9.7 wooded acres on Ashton Road was purchased and the original worship and fellowship hall buildings were constructed.

Our church family kept growing, and in April of 2001 the Lord helped us complete a new worship center with seating for 400 people and expanded classroom and office space, a blessing we are excited to share with the community.

SCC continues to be known for its friendliness, commitment to community involvement, and ministry to people of all ages as we seek to share the grace of Jesus Christ with Sarasota.
