God has uniquely called Manna Church to advance His Kingdom by loving, empowering, and equipping military families. We plan to place an expression of Manna Church at every stop of the “Military Highway” so that wherever our military families are stationed, we’ll be there ready to serve them. West Florida will be the first of many church plants along this highway.
Why West Florida?
In 2011, the 7th Special Forces Group, with 6,000 personnel and hundreds of families, relocated from Fort Bragg to Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Eglin AFB consists of over 16,000 personnel, with 10,000 more stationed at nearby Hurlburt Airfield. Over 200,000 people live in the region, and 56% of them claim to have no religious affiliation.
