We’re eternally grateful for a church family that has generously donated and served this week. Together, we’ve been able to help in dozens of Disaster Relief projects, both here in Orlando and in Ft. Meyers.

Due to high demand, we have reached capacity on our Relief Assistance Form, but we are continuing to collect donations and accept volunteers to help fulfill the current requests.

For those in need, below are some resources provided by the city:

Flooding & Power Restoration
FEMA Disaster Assistance
Operation Blue Roof
Business Damage Assessment Survey
Business Physical Disaster Loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans

Additionally, our Food Bank will remain open to the public EVERY Tuesday & Friday from 5pm-7pm. Simply show up to the Curry Ford Campus, park in lot 6, and look for the signage directing you to the Food Bank doors. Our team will be happy to serve you!

We have been so glad to safely regather with so many of you through services and groups this week at our Curry Ford and Michigan St. Campuses. Now that power has finally been restored at our Red Bug Lake Campus, they will be reopening Sunday, October 9 for their regularly scheduled services and programming.

First and foremost, we’d like to thank everyone who’s donated to or signed up to volunteer for our Disaster Relief efforts. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your willingness to help serve our community.

As we’ve begun assessing our three campuses, here is the latest update regarding church operations:

Curry Ford Campus
We plan to have normal services on Sunday, October 2 at 9am & 11:15am in the Main Sanctuary. All other programming will ALSO resume as scheduled beginning Sunday, including Rapids, Kids Way, Starting Point, The Voice, & other on-campus activities.

Red Bug Lake Campus
Unfortunately, our Red Bug Lake Campus will NOT open for service this Sunday, October 2 due to lingering power outages on property and in the surrounding communities. Subsequently, their Fall Market (originally scheduled for Saturday, October 1), has been postponed to Saturday, October 8. Groups, classes, and other on-campus programming will remain cancelled until power is restored and our Facilities Team deems it safe to regather. Check back for updates.

Michigan St Campus
We plan to have normal services on Sunday, October 2 at 9am & 11:15am in the Main Sanctuary at Michigan St. Campus. All other programming will ALSO resume as scheduled beginning Sunday, including Kids Way & other on-campus activities. This includes the cancellation of the Prayer & Praise Night originally scheduled for Friday, September 30.

In the meantime, all groups, classes, and on-campus programming are cancelled so we can refocus our efforts on assisting our community with relief projects.

If you can safely leave your home, we invite you to join us in-person at the Curry Ford or Michigan St. Campuses on Sunday, October 2.

If you are unable to leave your home, join us on our Livestream on all normal platforms via our website, Facebook, and YouTube.

After prayerfully considering the projected path of Hurricane Ian, our Pastoral Staff has decided to make the following adjustments to our regular operations for the safety of our staff and church members.

Faith Assembly’s church offices will close beginning on Tuesday, September 27 at 5pm with a tentative plan to reopen for scheduled activities on Friday, September 30.

Subsequently, all groups, classes, and other activities will be canceled tonight (Tuesday) through Thursday evening. This includes the cancellation of our midweek service on Wednesday, September 28, as well as school closures for Faith Christian Academy.

Once local authorities deem it safe, Faith Assembly is prepared to mobilize volunteers and resources to assist in local relief efforts; however, at this time, we DO NOT currently plan to open our campus as a Shelter of Last Resort. We encourage you to seek shelter and visit this page for periodic church updates.

Continue praying with us that the hurricane does not severely impact our community and surrounding cities.

Hurricane Season

Hurricane Season is classified as the distinct time of year (June 1-November 30) where storms, such as tropical depressions or hurricanes, are more likely to develop. For Floridians, this is a very normal thing to be prepared for, and includes stocking up on essentials to last for seven days. Linked below is a recommended Hurricane Supply Checklist.

Shelter Information

In the event of a storm, Orange County provides shelters to help individuals and families respond to and recover from natural disasters. Shelters are available for Central Floridians who have been evacuated from their homes, for those who live in low-lying areas, and for others seeking shelter from a storm. Shelters are alcohol, drug and weapon free.

Faith Assembly Updates

Scripture tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

In short, this webpage was designed, not out of fear but of a sound mind. Its intention is to resource our community with trusted information to best prepare for Florida’s annual Hurricane Season.

In the event of any circumstances that would be compromising to the safety of the congregation, Faith Assembly will use this platform to make an official statement announcing any cancellations or modifications to services and programming.

As in the past, should all official shelters reach capacity, Faith Assembly will contingently open up its doors as a “Shelter of Last Resorts.”

When local authorities deem it is safe for individuals to leave their homes, Faith Assembly has plans to mobilize volunteers and resources to assist the community with relief efforts.
