Embracing Hope in Ybor City!

Since 1998; Open Arms Church of Ybor City has provided hope to the hopeless and a welcoming church to the "churchless".  We are a multi-cultural, Christian fellowship located in the city of Tampa, Florida.

His arms were opened on the cross, and remain open to embrace you; our arms are opened too.


What makes us different (not better, just different)?

Our purpose is found in Acts 2:42, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."

We devote ourselves to our four core values:

  1. Equip with sound biblical training.
  2. Embrace multi-cultures with fellowship.
  3. Engage communities with compassion.
  4. Empower with strategic prayer. 

In other words,

  • We honor God's Word.
  • We value relationships.
  • We are sincere about helping people.
  • We prioritize communication with God.
