Discovering Orangewood: Membership for Adults & Students
2026-09-18 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
Membership is about more than attending—it’s about belonging. As members, we commit to walking together in faith, caring for one another, and participating in the mission God has given our church.
If you’ve been regularly worshiping with us, serving, and participating in a Community Group, we invite you to take your next step by joining Discovering Orangewood, our membership class.
While membership is not required to attend, serve, or be part of many areas of church life, it is a meaningful way to formally identify with our church family. Covenant membership is an intentional commitment to our shared mission, doctrine, and care for one another. It’s our way of saying, “This is my church, and these are my people.”
Throughout this experience, you’ll learn about our mission, vision, values, beliefs, and what it means to become a covenant member of Orangewood. The class takes place over a Friday evening and Saturday morning, giving you time to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who are taking this next step alongside you.
Adults & Students: Room 260
Childcare: Parents, please register your children (infants-5th grade) to request childcare. A member of our Children’s Ministry team will contact you to confirm your registration and your childcare needs.
Schedule: Please review the full schedule before registering. Participation in each step of the membership process is an important part of becoming a member at Orangewood.

Tuesday evenings Online7-8:30pm hosted by Vicki
Wednesday mornings at Beth’s 7-8am in Maitland
About the study:The book of Joshua tells the story of God’s faithfulness as He fulfills His promises to His people. As Israel steps into the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership, they learn to trust God’s presence, obey His commands, and rely on His strength through every challenge.
In this 10-session, verse-by-verse study, author Jen Wilkin helps us see that God’s commands are always rooted in His steadfast love. As we walk through Joshua together, we’ll discover how Israel’s story points us to Jesus—the true and better Joshua—and be encouraged to trust God’s faithfulness and courageously follow Him in our own lives.

Singing & Leading Worship Intensive
2026-09-13 11:30 - 13:00 | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
‘I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.’ (Psalm 104:33)
We’re hosting our Singing & Worship Leading Intensive & Lunch on Sunday September 13th, immediately following our morning service (11.30-1pm). We’re going to share lunch together and have a time of content — encouraging you, building into you and praying over your ministry on this team. This is for everyone who currently sings on the Orangewood Worship Team immediately following the morning service in The Space. Please RSVP to let us know you’re planning to be there

Worship Service at 10am
2026-09-13 10:00 - 11:15 | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
God is always at work forming his people, both as individuals and as a church. As 1 Corinthians 12:12 reminds us, though the body has many parts, all its parts together form one body. In this three-week series exploring the book of Acts, we’ll consider how He is calling us to become generous people who live open-handedly, connected people who intentionally share life with one another, and serving people who use their gifts to meet the needs around them.
Generosity, community, and service are more than programs or our 2026 priorities; they are practices through which God shapes us and moves our shared vision into a way of life. Together, we’ll discover what it means to become a church that is increasingly gospel-grounded, formation-focused, and mission-moved.
Click here to access our digital bulletin. We will continue our livestream for those who are out of town or feeling unwell, but we would love for you to gather with us in person if you are able.
Join us before service, starting at 9am for our Fellowship Hour, complete with coffee, community, and conversations!

More about the ministry

Every week, children from kindergarten to 12th grade gather at OCC for breakfast, friendship, and teachings about following Jesus. Eight buses transport around 80 children to Maitland, serving underserved youth in the Orlando area, often living in temporary housing like motels and trailer parks. Many in our church population relocate frequently, lacking a stable community identity. The areas where we pick up children are economically challenged.
Despite the upheaval in their lives, OCC remains a constant. It’s their home, providing security and a sense of belonging. It embodies God’s love and provision in a tangible, personal way.
Every Saturday around 9am, buses arrive in Maitland. Children enjoy a hot breakfast and play with friends and family for the first 90 minutes. Then, they attend age-specific Bible studies: elementary, middle, and high school classes.Website: www.orlandochildrenschurch.org

Typical Saturday morning schedule

7:45-8:45am Set up the campus. Set up tables and put out garbage bins, and bring out the recreation equipment outside. Breakfast prep.
9:00-10:30am Greet children as they arrive, write names on name tags, serve breakfast, interact with children as they arrive and eat. Play sports with children in the field. Play board games, color, paint nails, read books, or just hang out.
10:30-11:00am Life groups inside. Help teach or supervise a life group.
11:00-11:30am Help children get on their buses and head home. Reset the campus. Put away all equipment outside and inside, pick up trash, and generally clean up.

“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:4
In OKids Worship, kids are going on an EXTREME adventure through the life of Joshua—one of the Bible’s greatest heroes! We will discover how God prepared Joshua in powerful ways, helped him face his fears, and led him to do incredible things. Along the way, kids will learn important lessons about trusting God, making wise choices, and keeping our eyes focused on Jesus. It’s going to be an exciting series full of BIG moments and even bigger truths!
Parents: please check your child in before worship either at the kiosk in the foyer or at the Children’s Desk. Bring the provided barcode to the Grove after worship to check your child out.

Built for This serves as the kickoff to our 2026–2027 ministry year and invites every person at Orangewood not simply to attend, but to belong deeply, grow intentionally, and live as ambassadors for Christ wherever God has placed them. Over four weeks, we’ll discover that God isn’t simply constructing a campus—he is building a people. Together, we’ll celebrate God’s faithfulness, root ourselves deeply in the gospel, pursue intentional spiritual formation, and embrace the mission Jesus has given every believer. By his grace, God is building his church, and he is building us for this moment.

We invite everyone, including families, to join us starting at 9:00 AM, before the service begins. Whether you come for the coffee, the conversation, or the chance to connect across generations, this hour is for you because we know that the church is not the building we meet in but the people we meet with.

New Officer Photos!
2026-08-23 09:00 - 09:45 | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
As part of the launch of our new website this fall, we’re updating the photos of our Elders and Deacons. Thank you for taking a few minutes to help us with this!
Please sign up for the available photo morning before church on Sunday, August 23, anytime between 9-9:45am. Photos will be brief, and we’ll do our best to keep everything running smoothly.
Photo Guidelines:

Keep it simple.
Wear solid colors or subtle patterns rather than busy prints.
Avoid clothing with writing or large logos.
Please don’t wear green, as our background is green and it won’t photograph well (unless you’re aiming for the “floating head in a shrub” look).
There’s no need to dress formally. Our church is warm, approachable, and welcoming, so business casual or whatever you would normally wear to church is perfect.
Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Thank you for helping us represent the leadership of Orangewood well as we prepare for our new website!

Teens and Adults, help us make Orangewood more connected! We’ll be installing small “tap tags” on the backs of the chairs in the sanctuary.

No experience is necessary. We’ll provide all the supplies, explain the process, and work together to install the tags throughout the sanctuary. It’s a simple project, and the more volunteers we have, the quicker it goes!

We’ll also have coffee and snacks available for everyone helping.
