About Us
We are a family of Christ followers known for our love of Christ, love for one another, and reaching out to those in need. We value authenticity above formality, and honest relationships above token handshakes. We don't pretend to be perfect, and we don't expect that you are either.
If you just want to get lost in the crowd, we may not be the right place for you!
A church is not a building or something you attend, it is something you become a part of. If you want to be more than a number, to love and be loved, to grow in your faith, and to share your gifts and talents, we invite you to check us out.
Whether you are a seasoned saint or a questioning seeker, there is a place for you.
Our Sunday morning worship has a touch of tradition but without being stuffy. We worship in new songs of praise as well as hymns that have withstood the test of time. We preach and teach the Word of God in honest ways that connect with real life and real people. Like God’s love, we minister across the generations, rather than targeting just one. We believe that worship is something that we participate in rather than just watch.
Some of our older members dress in suits or dresses while some of the youth wear jeans. If you wear something "corporate casual" you'll fit right in. Who you are is more important that what you wear! Come as you are, we do!

Our Pastor
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Paul Ogne and I have been the pastor of this church since December of 1998.
I am married to a wonderful woman, Nancy Graham Ogne, who is the organizing pastor for a new church development in Lake Nona. We have two wonderful dogs that share their home with us.
Yes, I am more comfortable in casual clothes than in a suit and tie (in which you can sometimes catch me).
