Anthony Ballestero is the pastor.......................who is the oldest son of Martyn Ballestero who is the son of Carl Ballestero all have been a member of amf at one point or another......so Anthony is the Grandson of Carl Ballestero....The Church does run around 400 and The pastor is still UPCI as well as the rest of the family.........If i am not mistaken I did meet someone who was from the Christ church in Nashville last Friday who was talking to our youth pastor Phil Vannoy who knew many of the same people up there....(may just be a coincidence) I am the youngest of the Ballestero boys which is how i know all this....... btw bro sims is in Naples his brother attends New Destiny....If your friend doesnt like Clearwater church (which I hope isn't the case) Bro Hubba is in New Port Ritchie... they have awesome people and church....... good racial mixture up there too...with a nice size youth group..... also there is Bro Wolfs church in Tampa, Bro Davies church in Tampa, Bro Rashidi Collins church in Tampa, and pastor bo in Largo... I have been to all which are really good. the only two i have not been to are st petersburg and dunedin....but if they are not interested in being at clearwater i would attend one of the above......if you have any questions or your friend does feel free to call 727 738 1656 or you can ask me ..but the best thing to do is just speak to the pastor this Sunday or call the office
