• Summary:Positive Impact Ministries, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a vibrant Protestant church and nonprofit dedicated to combating food insecurity through innovative programs like its large-scale drive-through grocery distribution, which serves nearly 1,000 families weekly with no registration required. Beyond food, the ministry emphasizes dignity and empowerment through partnerships with local organizations, neighborhood markets offering fresh produce and social services, and initiatives like the "farmacy" program that connects underserved communities with nutrition education and healthy food. Founded in 2003 by Jay and Dr. Karalynne Brubaker—a former police officer and missionary—the church has earned recognition for its humanitarian work, including the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award and the Keys to the City of St. Petersburg. It also fosters community through weekly corporate prayer meetings, urban gardens that transform vacant lots into thriving green spaces, and a commitment to global advocacy, including support for Israel rooted in biblical principles. With a focus on water baptism by immersion and stewardship as a form of obedience, the church invites all to experience God’s love through service, connection, and transformative outreach.
