About the church
Who they are.What they're about.
Kress Memorial began in 1941, when Orlando Central Church became overcrowded and 81 members volunteered to start a new congregation in Winter Park. Its building, designed by noted Florida architect James Gamble Rogers, was completed in 1953.
The church is named for Daniel and Lauretta Kress, two medical doctors the congregation loved. Today it welcomes lifelong Adventists and people new to faith alike, with a thrift shop, connect groups and a shared meal twice a month.

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.
