This Bible study is designed to help middle school students deepen their relationship with God, explore Scripture in a way that connects to their everyday lives, and grow in their faith. Students will learn how to apply biblical truths to their friendships, school life, decision-making, and personal faith journeys.

Middle school students will start the 9:30 AM service by joining the first few worship songs together. After worship, they’ll head to their Sunday School class.

An 8-week video-based-study

All followers of Christ know that it is important to engage with the Bible on a regular basis. They want to understand the Bible for themselves and feel a deeper connection to God. But the problem is that the Bible can often feel overwhelming, intimidating, and out of touch with modern life. Life is already complicated, and feeling spiritually disconnected just adds to the weight. But what if there was a clearer path?

Join Pastor Patina for the next 8 weeks as we explore “The Bible, Simplified”. (Oct 29-Dec 17)

Serving Opportunity at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission

We have a wonderful opportunity to show Christ’s love in a practical way by serving dinner to the men at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission. We go every month, but volunteers are welcome to serve as often as their schedule allows—you don’t have to commit to every month. We are looking for volunteers to help with two important roles:

Serving dinner – helping prepare and serve the evening meal.

Connecting with the men – sitting down, listening, and offering encouragement and fellowship.

Your presence can make a real difference! Whether through a warm meal or a kind conversation, you can help shine the light of Jesus in someone’s life. Contact Jim if you'd like more information or to sign up.

Our group meets weekly on Friday mornings offsite for breakfast & fellowship. It’s open to new members. Contact Jim for more information if you’re interested.
