The purpose of Circle Community Church is to help people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We encourage and train families and individuals to
know Christ as intimately as possible so that they, in turn, can help others experience the joy of knowing Christ as well.
The core ministries of Circle can be divided into six categories, represented by the acronym LIFEWA (or, life-way). Those categories are Leadership, Instruction, Fellowship, Evangelism, Worship, and Administration. LeadershipCircle Community Church is led by a board of elders, one of whom serves as the church's full-time pastor/teacher. The pastor/teacher and the other elders provide overall vision and direction to the church. A group of deacons helps the elders accomplish the various tasks associated with the overall administration of the church's ministries and business affairs. Finally, the church's many programs are coordinated by volunteer servant leaders, who (along with other committed volunteers) carry out the day-to-day "work of the ministry."InstructionCircle provides sound and practical Bible teaching, with classes and small groups for every age, interest, and level of Christian experience. While the focus of our worship services is verse-by-verse ("expositional") Bible teaching, we offer many topic-oriented adult classes, on such subjects as parenting, marriage relationships, finances, science and the Bible, and much more.FellowshipWarm fellowship has been a hallmark of Circle since the church began. Circle's affirming and welcoming hospitality comes from a desire to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and accepted.EvangelismCircle seeks to follow the "great commission" of Christ (Matthew 28:18-20). Our mission is to "make disciples" both locally and globally, "baptizing them" and "teaching them to obey everything" that Jesus commanded. To that end, Circle is involved in a wide range of outreach programs, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in central Florida and throughout the world.WorshipCircle offers a unique and uplifting worship experience, a joyous celebration of God's goodness. From our music and singing, to our prayers, our offerings, and our teaching, a Circle worship service provides a restful and refreshing break from the busy pace of modern life.AdministrationCircle's elders place a high priority on ministry openness, integrity, and accountability. That's why Circle operates under a set of carefully crafted organizational and financial regulations. In addition, all church policies and financial statements are always available for review upon request.Through our "life-way" ministry structure, Circle Community Church seeks to honor and glorify Jesus Christ, Who is "the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). With a broad spectrum of activities, programs, and opportunities for service, we invite you to get to know more about our family . . . the family of Circle Community Church.
