Family Church

What Family Church does

Family Church is a multi-campus Southern Baptist congregation operating as Windermere Ministries, Inc., a nonprofit incorporated in Florida and affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The organization runs three physical campuses in the greater Orlando area — Windermere (300 Main St and 436 Oakdale St), Lakeside (8464 Winter Garden Vineland Rd, Orlando), and Oakland (200 S Tubb St) — and serves a multilingual congregation through English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish-language worship services, each with dedicated pastoral staff and community channels.

The church's technology platform consists of a primary website (ourfamily.church), Family Church TV (ourfamilychurch.tv) for live and on-demand video streaming across all campuses and languages, a My Portal member portal for household and contribution management, an online giving platform, and the Be Class membership pathway covering Believe, Belong, and Live Beyond Yourself modules. Operational scope extends beyond worship to include preschools at two campuses, Kids and Student Ministries, Special Needs Ministry, Sports & Recreation, Stephen Ministry counseling, and structured small groups (community, men's, women's, and support).

The business model is non-profit and funded primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, framed by the organization as 'tithing 10% of income' with giving above and beyond as a privilege. Distribution is hybrid: physical campus attendance in Florida combined with globally accessible online streaming. The church partners with the Southern Baptist Convention, leveraging access to a network of 40,000+ churches and 5,000+ missionaries for missions, church planting, disaster relief, and seminary training, while maintaining congregational self-governance.
