Faith Family & Nature Church, Inc. is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving rural North Central Florida. We are rooted in the belief that healing, growth, and community thrive when people are reconnected with faith, family, and the natural world.
Operating on 7.5 acres in Gilchrist County, we provide educational programs, nature-based retreats, agricultural training, and community support services to individuals and families across our region. Our programs are designed to be accessible, practical, and transformative — meeting people where they are and equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and community they need to build better lives.
We are committed to serving rural communities that are often overlooked — providing living-wage employment, educational access, food security resources, and a welcoming environment for all who seek growth and connection.
Our programs are built around four pillars — education, conservation, economic empowerment, and community wellness. Each is designed to create lasting impact in rural North Central Florida.
