A Brief Church History

We are a Bible based church that preaches and teaches Biblical principles and standards. Our leader is Bishop Lee Bell Jr and our First lady is Evangelist Jeanette Bell. Bishop Bell has pastored our congregation for over 27 years.  We believe in letting the Holy Spirit operate fully in our service and daily lives.

First Pentecostal Outreach Ministries was established in 1994 under the leadership of Bishop Lee Bell Jr.  Bishop Lee Bell Jr, along with his wife and children relocated from Neptune, NJ to Lakeland, FL in 1988.  Bishop Bell started teaching Bible study in his home and shortly afterwards he began First Pentecostal Mission. Throughout the years with tireless labor Bishop and his family relocated to several temporary locations until a permanent place of worship was established at 1456 Kathleen Rd Lakeland, Fl.  First Pentecostal Outreach Ministries have served the community with Food Bank, Cloth Bank, Daycare, emergency housing and utilities to name a few. We have participated in community involvement programs, health and wellness programs and radio programs striving to educate the community.  We are a church that loves to reach out and help others, we are an outreach ministry. We want to continue sharing God's love so that the community have better resources and  opportunities through our ministry.
