Florida Programs

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Springs! Our church family, based as it is in a popular winter destination spot, is blessed with a unique blend of full-time residents, seasonal residents and vacationers from all over the United States and abroad.

Imagine postcard-perfect beaches, charming neighborhoods nestled under grand gnarled oaks, wild orchids and swaying palms, championship golf courses and world-class performing arts centers, bustling restaurants and shops, lush parks and pristine preserves and a thriving economy – all in one sun-kissed location.

Bonita Springs, Florida is known as the Gateway to the Gulf. Sand dunes, beaches and the Gulf of Mexico hug Bonita Springs' western boundary. To the east, tidy neighborhoods and residential communities reach to the borders of flourishing groves and rich farmland.

Strategically poised between Fort Myers and Naples, this once small farming and fishing town has become a forward-thinking community, a nationally spotlighted business location and a unique destination that every age and interest can enjoy. Best of all, the magic that attracted those earliest settlers still remains for everyone to enjoy.

Attractions and activities abound in Bonita. Golf is a 12-month sport and beaches beckon year-round for shelling, sunning, fishing and boating. Nearby Germain Arena, with its hometown hockey team, the Florida Everglades, as well as top-name performers, beckons indoor sports enthusiasts and fans alike. Two nearby performing arts centers with professional orchestras host a variety of entertainment, from celebrities and jazz to Broadway and ballet.
