OUR MISSION
Extend the ministry of Christ to our community with hope and wholeness.

Our Vision - “Build 7”
We will be a Church on God’s mission in Apopka, with Apopka, and for Apopka, seven days-a-week.

And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”

The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

- John 4:27-30

GivingWe believe God asks His followers to give a tithe (10% of our income) to fund world-wide Gospel ministry (see Numbers 18:21-24; Malachi 3:10;). We are also invited to give offerings as the Holy Spirit impresses us to give to support the local mission of the Apopka Seventh-day Adventist Church and other special projects (see 2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Today's Featured Offering: Local Church Budget.

*** ATTENTION *** Our "Building Fund," is now absorbed into our Local Church Budget as our budget now includes mortgage payments. 

You can give a physical offering using a tithe envelope and deposit it in the box in the lobby or give it online at adventistgiving.org. See our generosity update below...
