History
Pastor Craig Altman, senior pastor at Grace Family Church (GFC) in Lutz, Florida, founded the Dream Center of Tampa in November 2010. Having been a youth pastor for many years before starting GFC, Pastor Craig has a deep desire and heart to reach youth. Simply stated, he values children tremendously and wanted to create a safe space for under-represented youth in Ybor City.

City Being Transformed
Dear Family,We are reestablishing the partnership between Grace Family Church Ybor Campus and the Dream Center. We will continue to build character, develop strong, supportive, and enduring community relationships, through offering programs including, but not limited to enhanced family mentoring, after-school care, computer access, tutoring, and athletic programs.With this heart and passion, Grace Family Church will now actively lead the Dream Center to help the youth and families facing social and economic adversity develop resiliency. With this structural change, the Executive Director role has been eliminated. Chris Davis has been released to pursue other opportunities; we trust God with this and ask for your prayers.We look forward to what the future holds and excited to connect with our community.
