Your Church, Loving Orlando & the World

As we continue to prepare for the storm, we want you to know how God’s enabled us to practically partner:

  • As a staging site for local utilities to help restore power to Orlando after the storm.
  • Once they are activated, with the Red Cross and Orange County to serve as shelter sites.
