When God moved Pastor Randy and myself from Washington, DC to Tampa, FL in 1990, He laid on our hearts an incredible vision: broken and hurting children and youth. We began a church, called South Tampa Christian Center, with 5 people on July 11, 1991 -- in a storefront -- and began to reach out and touch others with the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ. The first purchase we made as a 50-member church was a 24-foot vehicle, which served as a rolling theatre. This outreach truck went into government housing areas and performed a one-hour "Nickelodeon" type program, which encouraged high values and morals for the children and residents there.

We stand in amazement of the phenomenal blessings and increase of God since that day of small beginnings. Part of our mandate is not only to impact our city, but also to train and equip leadership around the nation and the world to make a difference in their cities. Thus far, tens of thousands of people and members of ministries have been trained since May of 1994, through our Operation Explosion International Training Center, held quarterly.

We have since developed and overseen more than 200 ministries that serve the felt needs of both the church body and community. As a symbol of our growth and desire to impact every person for Jesus Christ, we unveiled our new name, Without Walls International Church, in 1997.

As a multi-cultural family of believers, Without Walls International Church strongly believes that God has the power to restore individuals to their fullest potential.

We believe that Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and 'teach' all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," is the Great Commission, not the great "suggestion".

WWIC's many ministries include Paula White Ministries, Man 2 Man, B.L.E.N.D., Millennium Kids, Road 2 Recovery, Operation Explosion, The Ladies Ministry, and No Limits Youth. For a full list of ministries and events, go to www.withoutwalls.org.

God has called us to go beyond the four walls of the church and share His Gospel...with those who may never come to church...those who are broke, busted and disgusted with their lives...those who don't know where to turn. Without Walls International Church. The perfect church...for people who aren't!
