Fellowship Hour
2026-09-06 09:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
Build Community. One Sunday at a time.
We launched our Fellowship Hour to create a space on Sunday mornings for connection, community, and coffee, and we want to keep the good times rolling!
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.
We are the Church, and we’re better together.

Worship Service at 10am
2026-09-06 10:00 - 11:15 | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
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.
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.

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.

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.

2026-09-18 18:00 - 19:30 | 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.

Invitation Sunday
2026-09-20 10:00 - 11:30 | Orangewood Church, 1300 W Maitland Blvd, Maitland, 32751
Inviting people into the life-changing story of Jesus is central to who we are as a church, and sometimes that invitation begins with something as simple as, “Would you come to church with me?”
On Sunday, September 20, we’re asking you to invite someone to worship with them at our service. Consider inviting a friend, neighbor, coworker, someone who recently moved to the area, someone who has never attended church or who has been away for some time.
In the weeks leading up to Invitation Sunday, prayerfully consider who you can engage with greater intention. Share a meal, begin a conversation, offer an act of kindness, and invite them to join you here.
We’ll provide invitations, conversation starters, and other practical tools to help make inviting someone feel natural and personal. While September 20 gives us a day to rally around, our hope extends far beyond one Sunday. As we become increasingly Gospel-Grounded, Formation-Focused, and Mission-Moved, we want invitation to become part of our everyday rhythm. We’re focused on building genuine relationships and making room for others to experience the welcome of Jesus.
Who will you invite?
