View From The Ground - Is Port Richey a Christian city? Should it be?
As the “new sheriff in town,” as lauded by various Port Richey Council members at public meetings, steps up the pace of dismantling democracy, that self-same council is a step ahead of the game. For as long as most residents who pay attention to such things can remember, the city’s government has openly conducted its business “in the name of Jesus Christ.”

🌟 Juneteenth in Pasco: A 3-Day Celebration of Freedom, Culture, and Community! ✊🏾🎉

From West to East Pasco, our communities came together for a powerful Juneteenth weekend filled with spoken word, poetry, dance, gospel choirs, education, and healing. 💃🏾🗣️🎶

✨ We kicked things off in New Port Richey with Boots on the Ground and powerful reflections.
🕊️ Then came a night of liberation at the Suncoast Theatre, hosted by Faith in Florida’s Marlowe Jones, April Michelle and featuring poetry by Cheorokee Frye-Sampson and a special performance of “I AM WHO I AM” by Ann Williams.
📚 We closed with important info, local resources, and performances that reminded us of how far we’ve come, and how strong we are together.

This wasn’t just an event. It was a movement.

🔥 Watch the highlight reel now on PCM YT and celebrate the legacy.

Pasco County marked a powerful moment of progress and promise as shovels broke ground on Kiowa Drive for Habitat for Humanity’s latest project — a seven-home build in the Griffin Park neighborhood. With community leaders, supporters, and future homeowners present, this groundbreaking ceremony was more than the start of construction — it was the beginning of new chapters for seven hardworking families.
