April 2021 Update:  We are continuing to watch as Florida and Seminole County update their mandates.  We thank the Lord that the number of deaths continues to decline and especially thankful that more of you are able to return to in-person worship.

May 2021 Update:  As you all know, we are adjusting to the constantly changing environment regarding Covid-19. With the changes in regulations, we are evaluating what is appropriate for our worship services while still caring for the health of those around us.
Quite some time ago, we created metrics to consider cases in our community, vaccinations of our staff and the community, and positivity rates. After prayerful consideration, we will wait until the end of the school year to begin making any changes to our worship environment.
We are anticipating the start of some changes. These changes may include a return to normal seating, availability of coffee, and more. To protect those who are unvaccinated, which includes the children in our facility, we will encourage face coverings. 

• Return to normal seating
• Fellowship Hour on Sunday mornings
• Sports leagues return
