“the after party”
Are you overwhelmed by the partisan climate in our country? Do you desire a space for thoughtful dialogue around the intersection of politics and faith?
We are hosting a one-time event called “The After Party” on Friday, November 6th, from 7-9pm. This workshop creates a space for us to reflect on how political culture shapes our hearts, postures, and relationships. Rather than debating specific policies or candidate platforms, the session uses structured group conversations to help us examine our personal habits and practice engaging one another across differences with Christlike grace, hope, and humility.
You can watch a trailer for “The After Party” here. Sign up using the form below to reserve your spot.
baptism, re-dedication, baby dedication
On Sunday, November 15th, we will host a special gathering to baptize new people into the faith, re-dedicate those who want to reaffirm their baptismal vows, and dedicate any new babies into our church family.
Once you sign up, Ryan will reach out to talk more about the reason and process for baptism/re-dedication. Please fill out the form below:
INTERNATIONAL THANKSGIVING POTLUCK
On Friday, November 20, 2026 at 6:30pm we will gather at Audubon Park Covenant Church (3219 Chelsea St, Orlando, FL 32803) for our annual International Thanksgiving Potluck. This is one of our favorite annual traditions, a chance to celebrate the diversity in our community and an opportunity to get to know some new people.

occ christmas drive
We are collecting gifts for kids at Orlando Children’s Church from Sunday November 22nd to Sunday December 6th. This year we want to place a special emphasis on gifts for middle schoolers, at around the $30 range.
You can bring your presents, unwrapped, on a Sunday and place them in a receptacle at the Welcome Table.
generosity guide
If we care about God’s justice, we will reprioritize our time and resources to show it. To become more generous is to become more like God.
Below you will find a guide for organizing your finances to better align with God’s priorities. This is not a hard principle to follow, but rather a template that may help you think more deeply about where your money goes and why.
sabbath encouragement
We want to continue putting Sabbath practice front-and-center in our life of faith. Below you will find a handout that asks some questions to help you craft a Sabbath that emphasizes worship, rest, and delight. Take time in the coming weeks to journal your thoughts, or if you are married and/or have kids, talk through it together.
