About

Dear Friends of EBCOFL,

On behalf of the congregation of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Fort Lauderdale, welcome to our site.

We are delighted to share with you some information about us and hope that you find it helpful. This church exists for the glory of God. We believe that we are made expressly to be in a relationship with Him and to recognize Jesus of Nazareth as our Lord and Savior. We strive to bring God glory through singing and praying together, hearing His Word preached, loving Him, and loving one another.

We are an evangelical community of believers in a needy environment; our setting has its problems and its opportunities. We are nonetheless delighted at the spiritual health God has cultivated here and thankful that He continues to bring committed believers into our fold. It is a blessing to serve God in the mission field of Fort Lauderdale with these brothers and sisters of all ages, backgrounds, and occupations.

As a part of our mission, we would love to be of help to you. For that matter, we would love for you to be of help to us, as we serve God with a Christ-centered focus.

The Church history begins

I, Bishop Waldecks Luma, received a call from the Lord on my dream regarding being a Pastor and I refused, I saw Jesus face to face and I talked to him like I was talking to my friend, in that dream the Trinity was present, all three of them were present in that dream, God the Father, The Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, I told Jesus no Because I have other things to do and Jesus didn’t say anything, when I woke up I noticed That was just a dream, in that morning I went to my Pastor’s house Dr Megie Sylvain, I explained him the dream and he said it is a call from the Lord, you are a choosing person, God wants you to work for him and he is calling you , I said not me, it should be a mistake maybe someone else, then he explained me the story of Jeremiah when the Lord called him in Jeremiah chapter one,

He tried to convince me but he couldn’t do so because I didn’t leave any Space in my Mind to make it happen.Twenty-four years later, I was ordained by Dr. Megie Sylvain, Dr. C Norman Sellers, President of National Bible College and Pastor Toni Matial, I just Summarized the history for you but if you want to know what was happened between the call and the day that I accepted the call inbox me or email me I will answer every question you may have, all I can tell you for now, I went to Theological school, I preached in 3 different churches every month in Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Port St Lucie and Palm Bay and I still didn’t want to accept the call until God said you run to much now you don’t have anymore options, I finally surrendered myself to his will.

To God be the Glory!

The church was planted by Dr. Megie Sylvain and Myself Bishop Waldecks Luma on 07/14/2014, it has been inaugurated by Dr. Megie Sylvain the same date, Dr. Megie Sylvain was the person who named the Church as Evangelical Baptist Church Of Fort Lauderdale, he is always here for me whenever I need him, the presence of God is always with us, the Holy Spirit visits us on every service and every one can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, this is a place to worship God, our members and leaders are working together with us, we put God first, at EBCOFL we don’t look for our own interest but we put God’s interest first and after the interest of others. Now we have a 2nd Church Evangelical Baptist Church Of Pestel with Pastor Kesnel Colas and Pastor Vanessa Chery, we sent several people to school, we have a school in Jeremiah Evangelical Baptist School of Jeremiah, some of our children are in University, elementary and High School, Nursing etc.This is what I’ve been called for and I didn’t want to do.

To God be the Glory!
