It's what Robert Webber called "ancient future" worship, "the common tradition of the church's worship in Word, Table, and song, practiced faithfully and communicated clearly in every context of the world." Woven together are the historical creeds of the faith and time-honored practices of the church, with new, innovative tools and modern expressions of worship. Join the gathering! Worship Times: Saturdays at 5 p.m. EST / Longwood and online Sundays at 9 a.m. EST / Longwood, Mount Dora, Oviedo and online Sundays at 11 a.m. EST / Longwood, Mount Dora, Oviedo and online Sundays at 5 p.m. EST / Longwood and online Mondays at 7 p.m. EST / Longwood and online
