Transition Ministry

The Church of the Messiah has been serving West Orange County in Winter Garden since 1950. A parish family of all ages and stages with a mission to love God, love our neighbors, and love one another. We seek to change the world with Jesus: one child, one person, one family, one community at a time. We pray, work, and seek unchurched people who are spiritually hungry and committed Christians ready to serve. With 30 ministries and multiple aspects within each, members can explore a wide range of opportunities to get involved.

There is a diverse range of worship experiences throughout the week at Messiah catering to various spiritual preferences and needs, including a Haitian Creole service. Our worship is healthy and varied, sacramental, Biblical, Holy Spirit guided and filled, and user friendly. The primary goal of our worship together is always to encounter God. We strive to be a space where anyone can walk through our doors and experience the kindness of a neighborly church. We are a soft place to land in a hard world.

The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd is a historic and beloved parish in Maitland, FL, with roots going back to 1883. We believe our history and our welcoming community give us a compelling foundation from which to grow. We are a parish with a solid foundation and a congregation-wide desire to open our doors more widely to a larger community.

Good Shepherd is taking intentional steps to reach out to our neighbors, and we are eager for a Rector who shares our vision and will help lead that effort. Our mission is simple: “Glorify God, gather people, and feed them with His grace”. We are Biblical and believe in the Creeds. We worship, pray, receive from God in Word and Sacraments, and then go out to do His work. Care for the whole person is woven into the rhythm of life at Good Shepherd, and it shows up in both our formal ministries and our everyday relationships.

A historic beach-side church located in the heart of Ormond Beach since 1890, St. James has a rich history and is committed to serving our greater community. As living witnesses to the Gospel, we reach out to all of God’s people to understand their concerns, serve their needs, and spread His word.

We are one of 78 churches in the Diocese of Central Florida. As Anglicans, what we believe can best be summarized by the Nicene Creed. We express our faith through our baptismal covenant, and by continuing the Apostolic Church’s pattern of life: personal devotion through the holy scriptures, active participation in Eucharist, and the prayers of the Daily Office.

St. James Episcopal Church is not just a place of worship, but a community of people who care for one another. Through our variety of programs and events for people of all ages, there is something for everyone. We believe in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can feel at home.
