Arise Church South Lake is a young, growing community in Minneola, Florida — ordinary people who believe they are loved by an extraordinary God. Here’s our story, what we believe, and what a Sunday with us looks like.
Arise Church South Lake began with a simple conviction: that everyone in our community — no matter their background or history with church — deserves to know they matter to Jesus. We’re a church plant in one of the fastest-growing corners of Central Florida, gathering each Sunday at Minneola Horizon Academy.
What started as a handful of families has grown into a warm, multi-generational community marked by genuine relationships, honest teaching, and a heart to serve South Lake County. We’re still young, still growing, and there has never been a better time to be part of the story.
Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or coming home after years away, you’ll find a seat at the table here.
We exist to help people encounter Jesus, be formed by His Word, and become a community that loves South Lake County well. Everything we do — Sunday gatherings, serving, and outreach — flows from that one purpose.
We’re building a generous, Christ-centered church that grows healthy disciples, raises up the next generation, and becomes a lasting blessing to the families and schools of our region.
We hold to the historic, orthodox Christian faith. Here are the convictions at the center of who we are.
Jesus Christ — fully God and fully man — lived, died, and rose again so that we could be reconciled to God.
Scripture is God’s inspired Word and our trustworthy guide for faith and everyday life.
Salvation is a gift of grace through faith — not something we earn, but something we receive.
We’re made for community. We grow best when we’re known, loved, and serving alongside one another.
Come as you are — no dress code, no pressure, no church words required. Here’s what a Sunday looks like.
A team ready to greet you and help you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Contemporary, heartfelt music led by our worship team. You don’t need to know the songs.
Bible-grounded messages from Pastor Chris that connect to your everyday life.
Safe, fun ministry for infants through 5th grade during the service.
On the second Sunday of each month we gather around the table. All who trust in Jesus are welcome.
Arrive a few minutes early to grab a coffee, check in kids, and find your seat.
Our gathering runs about 75 minutes — worship, teaching, and a moment to respond.
