ALL-NEW CONNECT EVENT! PLEASE SIGN UP AHEAD!

Meet us here at St. Luke's on Saturday, October 24th at 2 PM for an ALL-YOUTH event where we will square off against one another in grade-level teams. Compete against your fellow youth as we crown a champion out on the field!

Who will win it all?? Be there to find out!

Join us for our annual Fall Retreat! This is a time for our youth group to come and connect with each other and about 400 other students from around the state, cultivating COMMUNITY, being in fellowship with one another, and learning and growing together as a community of believers.

Teens will deepen their faith, build community, and enjoy camp favorites at Warren Willis. This is a can’t-miss event! The deadline to register is Sunday, October 18. You will receive an itinerary and packing list the week of the event.

You can expect:

·         Awesome worship experiences

·         Hands-on workshops and learning experiences

·         Space to connect with other students and leaders

·         A weekend that will have you talking for weeks

Did you know that close to 800,000 children in the U.S. don’t have a bed? These children end up sleeping on floors – sometimes without a mattress. A bed is a basic need for the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of a child.  SHP is a national organization answering the call to a national problem. They partner with organizations to build, assemble, and deliver top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN!®

Thank you to everyone who joined us on our last bed build day, where we built 81 beds! Join us for the next build day here on campus on Saturday, October 3!

The Serve Team has been busy planning events for this fall. Now all we need is YOU! Check out these great opportunities below and SIGN UP NOW!

S.A.L.T.-Sunday, Nov. 22

This is an off-campus event with one of our favorite ministries! We first served with S.A.L.T. in downtown Orlando on a Middle School Mission Trip in 2024. We have continued our partnership with this grassroots organization that helps provide for the unhoused by offering free food, clothing, and showers. Come and serve with us! We'll meet at the church to drive to Apopka together at 1 PM and be back by 4.

Christian Service Center-Dec. 4

Join us as we head downtown to serve dinner to those in need. We will meet at the church around 4 pm to carpool downtown together. Only 10 slots available. Sign up as soon as you can!

We are once again excited to offer FREE DINNER near the beginning of every month for both MidPoint and HighPoint!
