Groveland, FL  04/16/10

South Lake Christian Church

P.O. Box 157

Groveland, FL  34736

Seeking:  Senior Minister

We are an independent Bible based church. As such, we take a strong stand on the inspiration, and authority of the Bible and the autonomy of the local church. The mission of Christ is also the mission of His Church, and while the mission is singular and unchanging, the methods by which it is accomplished can vary and are constantly changing.

Located in the heart of central Florida in a rural farm setting, SLCC is situated between several small cities and towns, and approximately 45 miles from the city of Orlando. We are a church of 100+ members in an area where new communities are springing up that will offer an excellent opportunity for growth in the coming years.

Our purpose is to encourage individuals to be saved, to incorporate them into the church, train them in holy living, and to provide them with the opportunities to use their God given gifts in order that the church of Christ might grow in numbers.

We celebrate Christ's presence as we worship Him in spirit and in truth in regular assemblies through song, prayer, giving, preaching and communion.  Our regular Sunday worship currently includes a traditional music service, followed by Sunday school and Bible study and then a contemporary music worship service.

We strive to incorporate Christ's followers into the church through fellowship activities, such as a special dinner each Wednesday evening, followed by singing and Bible study. there are regular activities and special meetings for the youth, and a monthly dinner and fellowship for the seniors. Several times each year, there are picnics and fun days for church members, friends and the local community. Often our members hold a special training program at their homes to deal with current issues, such as marriage, prayer needs, and Bible study.

Where do we go from here? SLCC is a relatively young church 18 years old, with a basic church building at this time. There is enough property for the expansion of the facilities, and we are currently at the beginning of an expansion plan with the construction of an activities building. This will provide for more fellowship activities, more classroom space and expanded parking.

We are excited about the future and the growing opportunities to spread God's word and salvation through Christ.
