There Is So Much To Be Thankful For!

2022-2023 OCPN Finishing Residency Alumni 

We are excited to see how God is at work among the Alumni of our first Finishing Residency Cohort who graduated this past summer. Justin Serra is planting New City Fellowship. Eduardo Rivera is serving on staff at Mosaic as the Pastor of Mosaic Español & Português. George Oliveira is Pastoring at Lakeland Bible Presbyterian Church. 

2023-2024 OCPN Foundational & Finishing Residencies

In September, we kicked off the inaugural class of the Foundational Residency with 5 prospective planters – Cesar Contreras (Mosaic Church), Carlos Azurmendi (Mosaic Church), Brandon Romero (New City Fellowship), Austin Darrow (One Family Church), Jean St. Jean (One Family Church). We are grateful to get to journey alongside these emerging leaders to help them discern their calling to plant, prepare themselves for what God is calling them to, and plan their next steps. 

We also started with our second group of church planters in the Finishing Residency – 

Kenny Ortiz (The Grove Church), Samy Anderson (Esperança Bible Presbyterian Church), and Victor Moura (One Family Church). We are grateful to get to journey alongside these church planters as they prepare to start new local expressions of the Body of Christ here in Central Florida. 

We believe that this is just the beginning of what God wants to do in our city and region to expand His Kingdom and transform lives through the power of the Gospel. 

Churches Partnering Together

We are grateful for all the ways that local churches are partnering together to plant more churches in Central Florida. 

We are so grateful for all the churches who have hosted our monthly OCPN Luncheons in 2023 – Thank you to The King’s Church, Summit Church, Mosaic Church, First Baptist Orlando, and Orlando Grace Church. 

We are so grateful for all the pastors and leaders who have given of their time to teach the training cohorts for our residencies – Thank you to Ben Bailie, Samuel Vitalino, Ryan Walker, Jay Mudd, Melo Sauval, David Loveless, Caleb Brasher, Dan Lacich, Isaac Frere, Carlos Peralta, and Renaut van der Riet. 

We are so grateful for all the churches who have contributed financially to OCPN in 2023 - Thank you to Mosaic Church, Oviedo City Church, First Baptist Orlando, Summit Church, New City Church, Calvary Chapel Lake Buena Vista, La Viña Church, and The Outpouring. 

Help us start 2024 off strong! 

Our budget for Q1 and Q2 of 2024 is $130K. We have $70K in commitments already. We need to raise $60K more. Additionally, we would love to expand the number of residents in the Finishing Residency from 3 to 5 or more for 2024-2025, but we can only do that if our support base grows. Our goal is to get to at least 20 churches financially supporting OCPN in 2024!  Would you join us by making an end of the year donation or a commitment to give monthly in 2024?
