SERVE

Serve is a group of volunteers who go out into the community to help others and show them the love that God has for each of us. In this area of ministry we aim to reach out into the community not only to help make the lives of those we serve better, but to influence and change them by allowing the care and compassion of God to work through us. When we serve we might not be able to give others everything they need, but we can give them everything we have. Just as in Acts 3:6 (Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”), we might not be able to give them everything they need, but we can give them the gift of God's love which is the greatest gift of all.

Orlando Children's Church

Orlando Children's Church (OCC) is a non-profit Christian outreach ministry. On Saturdays a group of buses leave to pick up children from trailer parks in Orlando's inner-city. The children are then taken to the First Baptist Church Maitland. There they are provided with food and are taught about Jesus and what he has done for them. OCC's vision is to see students being transformed by the power of the Gospel to positively impact their communities and the world. Volunteers are a big part of what helps keep OCC's ministry functioning and that is where we come into play.

LIFE GROUP LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Life Group is a small group of students living life together, holding each other accountable, and studying the Bible. The goal behind life groups is that we want to create spiritual community that goes deeper than just surface friendships. Atheists have friends. Buddhists have friends. Christian friendship is like no other friendship on earth. It goes so deep that you should be willing to "lay your life down." John 15 says. "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." We do not understand this layer of friendship and community in our culture. But coming together once a week, studying God's word, applying it to our lives, praying for each other, holding each other accountable, developing authentic trusting friendship we began to truly live LIFE together. Want to start a small group and have no clue how to? No more excuses. Once a month we are training leaders/facilitators how to lead "Life Groups."

An extension of Crosseyed Cafe, this event is "A place to come worship God with the church family.  Come out and worship in a casual atmosphere with food, music, and friends.
