Plymouth Congregational Church - Miami (FL)

Jennifer Morales New review: I wanted to follow up and acknowledge Father Jesús Ferras’ thoughtful and sincere response to my previous review. I truly appreciate the time he took to personally address my experience and offer an apology. His words reflect what I had hoped to encounter from the beginning — understanding, compassion, and the spirit of the Church. While my initial experience was disappointing and left me feeling dismissed, Father Ferras’ message reminded me of the importance of grace and dialogue within our faith community. I respect his willingness to reach out and turn an unfortunate encounter into an opportunity for reflection and hopefully, improvement. As Catholics — especially when we’re guiding others through sacraments — kindness, patience, and understanding should always be present. I am grateful this was recognized, and I sincerely hope others who seek assistance from the parish are met with the love and support that should reflect our faith. Thank you, Father Ferras, for your response and blessing during this important time for us. Original 1 Star review: I rarely leave reviews, but after this experience, I feel it’s necessary — not just as a customer, but as a fellow Catholic. My husband and I are preparing for marriage and reached out to request his sacramental records — a process that is both new and significant for us. Unfortunately, the response we received was dismissive and unkind. Rather than being met with the welcoming spirit we’re accustomed to from our home parish, we were treated as a burden. When I asked how long the process would take, the woman on the phone curtly said, “Two weeks, I don’t know — maybe your parish has more people working there, but I’m just one person.” I understand being busy. I also understand that many parishes are short-staffed. But as Catholics, we are called to reflect Christ — especially when serving others who reach out to the Church for help. A little patience, kindness, and compassion would have gone a long way, especially toward a couple trying to follow Church teaching and prepare for the sacrament of marriage. Sadly, this interaction left me disappointed and disheartened. I pray that others seeking guidance or assistance from this parish receive a warmer welcome — one that reflects the true heart of our faith.

Denise Diaz My husband and I tried several churches in Miami, and felt like we were home when we came to Vineyard. We felt welcomed to become involved at our own pace, never pressured to give or do more, but welcomed to. Pastors Kevin and Nick have brought us closer to God and Jesus, through every message and cat joke. We found our home in the love, message, humor, and community of Vineyard!

Nicole Creegan Lovely community! We baptized our daughter here and the entire process was warm, welcoming, and a forever cherished family memory.

Lauren Corcoran Years ago, I attended a friend’s wedding at Plymouth, and the beauty of the church left a lasting impression on me. So, when my husband and I got engaged, Plymouth was the first place that came to mind for our own wedding. From the moment we reached out, we knew we made the right choice. Donna, the wedding director, welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm during our tour. She is truly a beam of light—kind, funny, humble, and incredibly sweet. Her positive energy and genuine care made us feel instantly at ease, and we left that meeting confident that Plymouth was the perfect place for our special day. The entire process was seamless. Mary, who guided us through the rehearsal and ceremony, was an absolute delight. Her energy and fun personality made our wedding ceremony enjoyable and stress-free. A heartfelt thank you to Donna and Mary for making our wedding experience truly special. Their kindness, expertise, and dedication turned our dream ceremony into a reality. Plymouth will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we couldn’t recommend it more for anyone searching for the perfect wedding venue.

Lydia Miguel Because is great and fast to share my photos.

Julian Gonzalez This church in Pinecrest has become my go-to for mass. I feel very comfortable with both the pastors, the people, and atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit. The Church is beautiful.

Carver Bedeau I came to this church 13 years ago at our sister church in NY. From there I studies the Bible and got baptized. This family has changed my life. So grateful for His kingdom and His righteousness.

Ibikunle Shodayo Always visiting.....for your spiritual development. Jesus is waiting for you. Youll be blessed as you come!!!

Wayne G My wife & I recently attended a wedding here. This is a beautiful & historic church. The inside walls of the chapel have ornate & biblical renderings that are gorgeous. The construction in the neighbor & parking is a little pain but in the long run, it was very worthwhile.

Shaleigha Simione Wonderful church for weddings and photography. They are well organized and have simple and easy instructions to follow. Shay photography of Fort Lauderdale:)
