The Orlando Church of Christ in Orlando, Florida is currently celebrating its 35th Anniversary.
The church held a special 35th Anniversary Service on June 22, 2014 entitled “Even Greater Things.” The service focused on honoring the past, celebrating the present, and looking forward to God doing even greater things.
Below is a video and brief written history of the Orlando Church of Christ that tells our story:
In 1978, God moved the hearts of 24 disciples to start a church in central Florida that would be able to reach out to the students and make disciples on the University of Central Florida campus. In 1979, the Crossroads Church of Christ financially helped these 24 disciples to start the University Boulevard Church of Christ (UBCC) on January 7, 1979. God blessed the faith of these men and women and allowed his church to grow rapidly during its first few years.
In 1988, the UBCC was renamed the Orlando Church of Christ (OCC). Since then the church has continued to grow and become a beacon of hope to all of Florida. God has used his church in Orlando to raise up many men and women for service in his kingdom.
Since 1979, God has used this congregation of believers to impact and help save thousands of souls all over the world. The OCC has sent out new church plantings, strong disciples to help other churches, and financial support to aid God’s work of saving souls and binding up the broken-hearted on four different continents (North America, South America, Europe, and Asia).
Thirty-five years later, in 2014, we give God all of the glory as we stand in awe of what God has done, how faithful he has been, and how he continues to pour out his mercy and grace upon us.
We look toward the future with eager expectations of how God will use the Orlando Church of Christ in the next 35 years.
To God be all the glory!
