Rooted in Faith. Continuing in Christ.
Holy Ground Christian Fellowship
A ministry without walls — sharing the good news and serving people in Florida and California, with open hands and open hearts.
Who We Are
A family on holy ground.
Founded in 2002 by Pastors Jose and Betsy Mata, Holy Ground Christian Fellowship was established on a foundation of faith, fellowship, and a desire to share the love of Jesus Christ. In 2012 the Matas carried the ministry to Florida, with Senior Pastors Martin and Sylvia Lopez continuing the work in California.
Over the years, God brought people together through church fellowship and motorcycle ministry. Though seasons have changed, and the church as we once knew it is no longer in operation, the memories, relationships, testimonies, and spiritual foundation remain.
Our motorcycle ministry was an important part of that journey, providing opportunities to share the Gospel, build friendships, and reach people beyond the walls of a church.
Today, Holy Ground Christian Fellowship is a ministry without a physical church building — sharing the good news and serving people through counseling, community service, food outreach, and Paid in Full Motorcycle Ministry rides in Florida and California. We honor that history while remaining open to what God has ahead.
The building may no longer stand, the numbers may have changed, but our faith in Jesus Christ remains.
