Community Outreach
Servant Evangelism
Are you ready for some UCF football? September 6 @ 6 pm
The usual Saturday Night service will be held outside this weekend! Service will consist of a tailgate party for the droves of students and fans heading to the big game.
This is our chance to make someone's game! By sharing with them the love of Jesus, no one loses! (We do support the Knights!)
We are in need of some serious tailgaters!
We need cooks to flip burgers and hot dogs, people to pass out water bottles and fans, people to help clean up after the party, as well as people to connect with the fans who come to the event.
If you would like to help, please contact a Missions Group Representative.

The Center for Multilingual, Multicultural Studies at UCF. This ministry connects local families with international students providing them housing and Christian love. These students are from France, Slovakia and Italy and are enrolled in a short-term, intensive English program at UCF. In addition to improving their English skills, it is our hope they will experience a genuine knowledge of our culture by living with an American family. It is truly a memorable and fun opportunity to share with your entire family.

We’re a “Church of ONE”!
Orlando is a City of ONE; Oviedo is becoming a City of ONE; Seminole is a County
of ONE… now University Carillon is becoming the very first Church of
ONE!
A declaration signed at ONEnow, with the approval of our
Leadership Council, aligns us with ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History.
ONE is a non partisan effort by Americans to rally Americans, one by one,
to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. So far, ONE
has been supported by millions of individuals and more than 100 of the
nation’s leading relief, humanitarian and advocacy organizations.
