you are always welcome here!

No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are always welcome here! 

We are an Open and Affirming (ONA) church of The Florida Conference of the United Church of Christ, a Protestant denomination formed in 1957.  Our roots are as old as the Pilgrims; our thinking is not!

We are a community church whose soul is deeply embedded in the life of Lake Helen and Volusia County.

We welcome all who seek God’s presence in their lives to participate in our common life.

WORSHIP TIME
10:30 a.m. Sunday
