Ministry Partners
The Diaconate at Orangewood Presbyterian Church exists to serve and glorify God by stimulating and encouraging God's people to the further exhibition of love and good deeds.

We help build community by organizing and mobilizing the Sunday Worship Assistance Teams, and by administrating the Deacon's Fund. We strategically help to reach our community by facilitating and mobilizing our people to express God's love in word and in deed in Greater Orlando and beyond.
