Pastor Andrew Vuksic
Andrew is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), firmly grounded in Reformed theology and deeply committed to teaching God’s sovereignty in salvation. He holds a Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Philosophy in Global Leadership from Lynn University.
While in seminary, Andrew joined the staff at Spanish River Church in Boca Raton, where he served as Director of Outreach, overseeing local, national, and international ministry efforts. It was there that he met his wife, Daniele, and they were married in 2007.
Shortly after, they moved to Croatia, where they planted a church and developed a ministry serving both the Croatian people and impoverished Roma (Gypsy) communities.
Andrew and Daniele have since returned to Florida and founded a home fellowship that has grown into Christ Community Church in Deerfield Beach. Their time in Croatia profoundly shaped their view of the church and pastoral ministry. Andrew is passionate about faithfully teaching Scripture and shepherding others with care, believing his role is to equip and protect the flock. He especially values the home church model, which allows for meaningful relationships and intentional, personal discipleship.

We teach that Christ is the Head of His Church. The Church is His body and His bride. (First Corinthians 12:12-27; Second Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 4:15-16; Colossians 1:15-20; Revelation 19:1-9)
We teach that Christ rules His Church by His authoritative Holy Word. The redeemed of Christ hear the voice of Christ through the inspired, all-sufficient Word of Christ. (John 10:2-5; John 10:27-30; First Corinthians 2:16)
We teach that the planting and establishing of local churches, led by a plurality of qualified male elders, is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament. (Acts 14:21-23; Acts 20:28-31; Romans 15:14-21; First Corinthians 1:1-3 Galatians 1:1-2; Ephesians 1:1-2; Philippians 1:1-2; Colossians 1:1-2; First Thessalonians 1:1; First Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:4-9; First Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 2-3)
We teach that the main purpose of the Church is to glorify God. The manifest wisdom and glory of God is made known through the Church as believers are built up through the word of God, as we strive together towards holy living in reverence to God, and as we reach out to the lost world with the saving gospel of God. (Ephesians 3:10; Ephesians 4:11-16; First John 3:1-3; Acts 2:41-47; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19-20)
