Everything we do is based around this Live, Love, Learn approach to life. We believe in getting together and hanging out with each other outside of just attending church on Sundays, and we believe in being involved in the community through service.[/x_tab][x_tab active=”false”]The biggest thing that has defined our last year of ministry is the amazing way that God has blessed us through the working of his Holy Spirit! We have baptized 28 people and confirmed or brought in as new members another 45. We had a record number of students go on our annual youth mission trip. We supported the school in achieving the long time goal of purchasing land for a new High School. We continue to have an impact in the community through Family Serve events, community outreach events and serving with and supporting our Community Partners. And we have done it all while continuing to look forward to doing even more through planting more churches and helping to grow our new High School.[/x_tab][/x_tabs][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11048632_10150490311859944_3898138554156240835_n-2.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11073795_10150508199874944_4880283133906031303_n.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11752536_10150531849464944_6021992943841491649_n.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”true”]Holy Cross Lake Mary Goals[/x_custom_headline][x_accordion link=”true” id=”Goals”][x_accordion_item title=”Church Planting” open=”false”]Helping to spread the Gospel and bring people to Jesus through planting churches has primary importance, and so $625,000 of the overall goal will go toward funding 3 more church plants by the year 2020. The leadership at Central Florida Cross Network has determined that it costs approximately $250,000 to start up and fund a new church for three years. Our goal of $625,000 will allow us to fully fund two new churches and contribute half the cost towards another![/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Ministry Growth” open=”false”]A Portion will be put towards growing the current ministries of existing churches in the network. This will include a few capital and equipment improvements at the Holy Cross Lake Mary campus, such as a new stage for the worship band, a remodeling of the community room to help improve our Sunday Kids Church, and other improvements all designed to help us better reach people in ministry and worship together. It will also include support of our existing church plants, that will help them to continue to grow by supporting their ministry and helping to fund larger spaces to fit their growing needs as they continue to reach more and more people.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Community Outreach” open=”false”]A Portion will be a part of impacting the community through service and ministry. A large part of that is the new High School, which is a way that Holy Cross Lake Mary, in partnership with Holy Cross Lutheran Academy, is helping to meet the needs of the community. Through the development of a Christian high school, along with the community-based Christian sports program, Seminole Leagues, we can have a tremendous impact on the community, and help to bring Jesus to even more people. $200,000 will go to support these ministries. The remaining $175,000 will be used to create grants that non-profit community organizations can apply for. Through those grants we will be able to help both existing partners in the community, and also have the potential to help support new and exciting work in the community.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Volunteer Development” open=”false”]Throughout this campaign, we are also looking to develop between 150 to 200 new volunteers. These volunteers will be both a part of serving within the church as ushers, kids and youth worship teachers, mentors, altar guild members and much more. We will also have volunteers serving within the community at one of our many community partners, such as the Oasis homeless respite center. By developing these new volunteers we can increase our impact in both the church and community while also helping people to grow in discipleship and in their relationship with God.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 5px 0px 45px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_raw_content]

Together with the other member congregations of the Central Florida Cross Network we have identified the cost to plant a new church including administrative support and resources for the first three years. As a recent church plant, we are excited to be in a position to pay it forward and plant a new church. We believe that by planting a new church we will bring many more people to a relationship with Jesus Christ and His Kingdom will grow. We are passionate about helping contribute one more congregation toward our network goal of eight by 2020.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Strengthening Non-Profit Partnerships” open=”false”]The second component of Plant & Build is to strengthen our commitment to our community partners in Central Florida with finances and an aggressive plan to increase volunteers for these partners. We plan to support our non-profit partners through grants which will serve a need in the community. Imagine if we are able to contribute significantly to organizations like Hand in Hand, Lake Cares, and Habitat for Humanity as well as be the catalyst for new non-profits or ventures that will serve the community. Possible ideas could be a community garden, sports programs for children, tutoring/mentoring programs, etc. It is our goal that by 2020 we will also provide over 150,000 volunteer hours to our aforementioned non-profits that we support. By strengthening our community partnerships we reinforce our mission to meet the needs of the community and grow the faith of all who believe.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Growing theCross Mount Dora” open=”false”]The third component of Plant & Build is growing our existing church. Every healthy congregation needs capital improvements as it grows. Our growth trends are extremely encouraging. With the amount of visitors and guests that come through our church doors, combined with the growth of Mount Dora, we see ourselves needing to make responsible fiscal decisions as we move forward. What has become abundantly clear through these first four years is that theCross Mount Dora is a viable congregation that is here for the long haul! Because of this reality, it makes sense for our church to move towards a more sustainable permanent location by 2020 by investing in land and/or a building that will better suit our needs in the future. We are trying to anticipate the needs for the next 3-5 years for our church. If we are looking to move by 2020 then the strategic planning needs to begin now so that we are ready by that time and we do not become stagnant for any length of time. We plan to use a small portion of these funds over the next 3 years in equipment upgrades and possible rentals of additional units. The majority of this amount could be applied towards a down payment of land/building/renovation of a new worship facility.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 5px 0px 45px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_raw_content]

The 2013 -14 school year saw Holy Cross Lutheran Academy bursting at the seams. With classes filled to capacity, land-locked and unable to build additional classrooms, growth was limited. However, in the spring of 2014 our school was able to purchase an additional 15 acre campus, located three miles to the east. With this acquisition, our middle school moved to a new larger facility allowing classroom space for the elementary and middle school programs to expand. The new campus also enabled us to begin a High School, thus fulfilling a long term goal. The class of 2019 starting as Freshman this fall has 10 students.

Moving into our new Upper School campus was a challenge; one that our school community took on with a great enthusiasm. Volunteers generously gave of their time and talents to renovate buildings, clean classrooms, paint facilities, and remove or repair old equipment to prepare for the start of school. 2014-2015 saw HCLA enrollment, for the first time, go over 400 students. This number puts us in an elite group as only 7% of Lutheran schools nationwide have over 250 students enrolled.

In addition to expanding our school to three campuses, HCLA launched a faith-based Sports League for the community named Seminole Leagues. Working with the Upward program, volunteer parents and coaches provided instructional play for soccer, basketball, and flag football. In its first year, Seminole Leagues served almost 200 children involving over 50 volunteers.[/x_tab][/x_tabs][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lW026uNTziQRrlnmAzCNfMoALnQQsmUawILsAcHJsG0.jpeg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11255054_949682888398993_8228081193582095049_o2.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/y59FHbBoyNsNIzAkS6SBUU5xXriMkUV5fC1McKRRRvA.jpeg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”true”]Holy Cross Lutheran Academy Goals[/x_custom_headline][x_accordion link=”true” id=”Goals”][x_accordion_item title=”Continued School Program Development” open=”false”]Holy Cross Lutheran Academy strives to teach the ‘whole’ child preparing them with 21st century skills.

In less than a year God has used our space, the Lodge, to engage the community through events such as group guitar lessons, the Dinner Party Project, a prayer conference and several other events that connect people to our creative, life giving God.

We will be pledging 1/3 of money raised to support three distinct ministries: creativity, counseling, and on-going series of conferences. To the city of Orlando, New City offers their unique gifting in a creative space where together we make music, share meals and connect with people who might never walk into a church. To our network of churches, New City wants to be a center for prayer and healing. We are hoping to organize and host a series of conferences and retreats. To our congregation, New City wants to help defer the costs of professional counseling for those among us with need.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Ministry Growth – ⅓ of Raised Funds” open=”false”]When we first moved into our current space, somebody said it was too small. Without thinking I said, “when God wants us to grow, the space next door will open up.” Well, the space next door just opened up and it is time to grow into it. So New City is pledging 1/3 of money raised to help build out and upgrade our new space.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 5px 0px 45px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_raw_content]

We are seeking to give people a place to belong and to empower them for a life of action. We believe that God’s Kingdom is present today, bringing freedom, safety, and power to a world that otherwise is lacking in hope. With an awareness that God is always making us better tomorrow than we are today, we’re focused on the value and uniqueness of every individual and on fostering authentic relationships as the basis of a thriving community. We have partnered with a few different organizations in west Volusia to impact our community and to grow together as a family of faith.[/x_tab][x_tab active=”false”]Through 2014 and 2015 we have seen the birth and growth of Wellspring as a community of the faithful in DeLand. In January of 2014 we began meeting as a small group of people to share meals, study the Bible, and serve the community. In February of 2015 we launched regular Sunday morning worship. There are now an average of almost 35 people in worship attendance on Sunday mornings and 35 people gathering in five Teams throughout the week.[/x_tab][/x_tabs][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11090996_854341631311682_6207736491114077237_o1.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1610796_710691452343368_2059053414354009900_n1.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://cflcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11794372_891775027568342_5219364917649756772_o1.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”true”]The Table Goals[/x_custom_headline][x_accordion link=”true” id=”Goals”][x_accordion_item title=”Clarifying Our Identity” open=”false”]As The Table has grown over the last several months, we have learned more about who God has called us to be.
