Lay Leadership
The United Methodist Church, which began as a movement and a loose network of local societies with a mission, has grown into one of the most carefully organized and largest denominations in the world. The United Methodist structure and organization began as a means of accomplishing the mission of spreading Scriptural Holiness over the land. John Wesley recognized the need for an organized system of communication and accountability and developed what he called the “connexion,” which was an interlocking system of classes, societies, and annual conferences. (UM Member’s Handbook, p 24)
No local church is the total body of Christ. Therefore, local United Methodist churches are bound together by a common mission and common governance that accomplish reaching out into the world. United Methodist churches and organizations join in mission with each other and with other denominations.
We serve our community and world in many different ways.
Through the Florida Conference, our church members, adults and youth, serve on mission teams locally and internationally. These many opportunities to serve in mission are one of the great strengths of the United Methodist Church. Join us!
Habitat for Humanity builds strength, security, and self-reliance through shelter.
It’s an exciting time for West Orange Habitat for Humanity as we’ve just completed seven homes in East Winter Garden. Families have been selected for new home projects and are anxious to work alongside our volunteers, to build their own home and homes of others.
Our church has now partnered with the HOPE Center in Winter Garden. They offer a variety of services for people in the community, including job opportunities, counseling, and more.
