About the church

Who they are.What they're about.

Forest Lake Church meets in Apopka, near Forest Lake Academy, northwest of Orlando. Its motto is short: live the Gospel.

Two sanctuary services run each Sabbath, and a separate gathering called the Warehouse Community offers a more informal setting. The church also supports Bright Stars, an outreach project serving orphaned children.

Why do Adventists worship on Saturday?

Adventists keep the seventh day, Saturday, as the Sabbath, the day God blessed at Creation and named in the Ten Commandments. It runs from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

What is Sabbath School?

An hour of Bible study in small classes, held before or between worship services. Visitors are welcome to sit in on any class, or just come for worship.

What should I wear?

Whatever you'd wear somewhere you want to look put together. Some people dress up for Sabbath, others keep it simple. Nobody will mind either way.

Can I come with someone from ACF?

Yes. Ask in the ACF GroupMe who's heading to which church this Sabbath. It's the easiest way to find a familiar face, or a ride.
