Friendly, real people. Solid biblical teaching. Worship focusing on God!
Circle has been in Orlando since 1971, as one of the first non-denominational churches in the area. We gave Northland, A Church Distributed its start. Many thousands of people have been through the doors of Circle over the years, as we moved from various locations with different pastors. Our church family settled for many years on Edgewater Drive, and made our final (Lord willing!) move to our current location in 1998. We really are a simple, loving fellowship of believers who love God's grace because we need forgiveness daily and want to live in His peace! In that atmosphere of grace, we are loving one another and those who have never known a love like that! If you're looking for a church like us, we'd love to meet you!
Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We've been serving the greater Orlando area since 1971.
What is your primary product or service?
We exist to glorify God by loving Him with all our heart, soul, and mind; to love one another as ourselves; and to love the world as God loves them and proved His love by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for their sins, so that, if they would believe in Him and trust in His death payment for their sins, they would be completely forgiven and given the gift of Eternal Life!
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We began, over 40 years ago, as a group of believers from various backgrounds meeting for Bible study and prayer ... sitting in a circle, which began to expand. Our name was taken from that practice which became a symbol of our close fellowship with one another.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are different, perhaps, from other churches in that we continue to teach the Bible at our main service in a Book by Book, verse by verse manner.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Currently, since 1998, we have one location at 2200 Pembrook Dr. We plan to expand to other locations as we grow large enough to support other church plants.
