Hands down, the best school that you can send your kids to in the Orlando area! My son experienced…read morebad stomach pains and during the entire debacle of Aiden going to the hospital, Aiden's teacher was texting me from 11:00pm on Friday night through the school texting application and through Saturday morning until 7am Sunday. His Preschool Director has checked on him each day and implemented new ways for Aiden not to be so stressed! I have never found a school so concerned and committed to helping small children. I am convinced that Aiden is in good hands and we will all work together to help my son! The teachers are easy to reach and speak to each day. Payments are automatically drafted out of your account monthly and it makes everything extremely easy. These teachers TRULY care about your children and they treat them as if they were their own. I am so absolutely happy with this school.

WORST SCHOOL EVER! They discriminate against kids with even the slightest disability (even though…read morethey have known since before enrolling him and they say they have the resources, they refused to use any to help) Said my child should have never been accepted and never given the chance. They didn't want to decrease their academic performance, but what they dont know is that my child was spelling elephant correctly at the age of 3.... knows anything and everything about any animal (has taught us about different animals we have never heard of...but are absolutely real because we look them up) Its absolutely insane that this "Christian school" has the audacity to speak to parents so negatively about your child to your face and dont expect you to get upset. They want their "perfect student" school and dont care who they hurt. My child is devastated and thinks it is their fault but its not.

With that said, here goes my experience..... My mum had been telling me about a "secret vegetarian" restaurant located within the grounds of this Religious Organization near Costco, and so decided to go check out. Unfortunately I should have paid attention to the timings as the restaurant was closed, but there was a grocery store there with a packet of chips/ crisps (a massive weakness!) that I hadn't seen before and so decided to buy them. When I opened the packet up on the drive back home, discovered they tasted massively stale even tho' the date stamped on the packet was still valid!!! We should have turned around and gone back to return them, but they were already shutting down when we left - so I was left with a rotten taste in my mouth (literary spat out those chips, they tasted so stale!) and $1.50 just wasted, My confidence level in checking out the food now is a little bit less, despite how lovely the staff were. Not sure if will be back.... Yelp 151/2017

Annunciation Catholic Church has such a presence about it. To me this is a "real" church, meaning…read moreit looks and feels like a house of God. Churches in the north eastern part of the US, Rome, and all of Europe have beautifully architectural churches that resemble the era during Christ's time on earth. They're magnificent, grand, and sacred as is our God. Annunciation is one of the few churches in the Orlando area that is regal in style and stature. You can feel the presence of God here. At the entrance there are candles for one to light for your personal reason, and statues of saints lining the walls. They too need to remembered for their faith. In the center a large basin that stands; filled with holy water to dip you r fingers in and bless oneself making the sign of the cross. The alter representing the table of the last supper Jesus had with his disciples stands in the center. Behind the alter resides the shrine, or the tabernacle, a shiny gold rectangular structure that serves as a place for the exclusive reservation of the Blessed Sacrament. There are beautiful glass stained windows on the side walls each projecting one of the Stages of the Cross (Jesus' final hours) so we can be reminded of the sacrificial lamb given for our salvation. Here are held daily masses, baptisms, confirmations, and other vigils and blessings. Outside is the Grotto (historic cave like area) where you'll here the sounds of water trickle among the rocks beholding Mother Mary. Here you may relax, meditate, and pray; have private time with the Lord or Mary. Annunciation host many community events from retreats, fall festivals, carnivals, fundraisers, etc. They value community and family and have these events so we may congregate as one. There is a Sunday school, a pre-school, and an elementary school with it's own play ground and field for soccer, baseball, and the like. There is always some activity going on every day from several daily masses to weekly Eucharist Adorations. Annunciation preserves the traditions that the Roman Catholic Church was founded. The Very Reverend Stephen Parks, and the other wonderful servant deacons that host the masses, each are charismatic and engaging, and have a beautiful way of interpreting and explaining God's word. We read passages from the Bible then reflect on its meaning, identifying situations in our lives and/or learn to implement the word of God in our lives. Come and visit one of several daily masses or weekend services. You'll make this your home quite rapidly. It doesn't mean you'll stop going to your current affiliated church if you choose. You'll have another place to pray and serve spending more time with God.

very nice and peaceful place am going every friday to visit…read moremother mary i love this place

Orlando North Church - Orlando North's Annual Candy Cane Hunt

My family and I started attending Orlando North about 2 1/2 years ago. The church I had been a…read morepart of since my family moved to Florida when I was in 5th grade had gone through a lot of changes and ultimately some of the changes went against what the Bible and what Jesus teaches us. I was able to stay through a lot of changes, but when it comes to not following the scripture and teaching my children things that are not backed by the scripture I draw the line. Luckily our neighbors from the first house we ever bought over 20 years ago have been inviting us to their church for years. They were never pushy but always let us know we were welcome if we ever wanted a place to worship. Even though we were no longer physical neighbors, my son and husband still were friends with them and when I knew it was not good for my children to be in the environment we were currently in and we were actively looking for a new church my son reminded me of the invite to Orlando North. I had been really active in my prior church singing, playing bass, running a youth drama ministry, helping with youth group, and helping with kids choir so leaving was hard. I was unsure what I would think walking into a building that definitely didn't look like a church from the outside, but I kept an open mind and I am so glad I did. My first impressions was how welcoming they were. They always have a few people at the door downstairs welcoming everyone and I have to say this is the first place I have been that I truly have felt welcome EVERY week I come in those doors. Within 6 months we were going every Sunday. My whole family even chose to get baptized and join the church. (my old church believed in baptizing babies whereas this church believes you have to be old enough to understand what baptism is) My daughter who was in middle school started attending the youth group on Wednesdays before we even officially joined and even though she didn't want to talk to anyone for the first few weeks she still left every week smiling and saying she wanted to go back the next week. (2 years later she is thriving and has a ton of friends who she is excited to see every week and is going to start singing with the youth praise team) I felt comfortable from Day 1 with the youth group but my daughter has major anxiety and luckily, they had no issues with me staying in the room with her. After a few weeks they found out I played bass and asked if I could join the praise team on Wednesday nights. Zach and Laura made me feel I was a real part of the team. I have also joined the Sunday worship team which is rotation of 1 to 2 times a month and help in the nursery 1 time a month. I know my son, who is in college, enjoys the Sunday morning college bible study as well as the connections he has made with real friendships that go beyond just Sunday mornings. My husband even joined the group that does Sunday morning setup and helps with offering. I can not say enough good things about how this church has truly welcomed my family and made us feel like we are not just members of a church but we are members of family. FYI the youth group on Wednesday nights at 7pm (kids can show up any time after 6pm) is for middle school - high school and they meet almost every Wednesday all year, generally only taking off the week of Christmas, the week of Easter, and the week of camp. They generally have at least 20 kids there every week. Most of the time the structure is 6-7 the kids hang, play games like ping pong or basket ball then they do a group game type thing at 7 followed by announcements and worship music and a message. We sometimes end with small groups and we say we are officially done at 8:15 but allow the youth to hangout for about 30 min or after that. As a parent this was the information I was looking for but couldn't find before we went our first time.

I've been attending Orlando North Church for about a year and a half after swearing I'd never…read moreattend an organized religious group ever again. I was invited by my daughter and son-in-law, and have to tell you, Rob Duford, the lead pastor, just blew me away on my very first visit. He is a wonderful speaker, with a contagious sense of humor, and is emphatic about teaching Bible truths; not giving us his opinion of what God's Word actually says. Aside from that, it is probably one of the most welcoming churches I've ever attended. From the moment I stepped through the front doors, I felt at home, and never felt that anywhere else. There was a comment left by another reviewer that seemed to focus on the gay issue and even stated they "felt" the congregation was bigoted. How very different my experience has been. Does the church embrace the gay lifestyle--no, because it is not Biblical. Yet, at the same time, they would not make an issue of being gay. I'm pretty sure there are at least a few gay people who attend and from my observation seem to fit right in with everyone else, and I've never heard anyone slander anyone else for being gay. Again, the issue is a Biblical one, and because part of the church's mission is to teach Biblical truths, they cannot endorse something that is contrary to the scriptures. Sorry, don't mean to be preachy here. The children's/teens ministry is amazing. Zach and Laura lead these groups and the kids adore them. All of my grandchildren, from teens to elementary, attend and love going. This year they brought back the annual Christmas Candy Cane hunt, and all the kids were in on it. It was a huge success reaching out to the community during the Christmas holiday season. Long story short, if you're looking for a church home....one where everyone knows your name and the pastor teaches Biblical truth, then Orlando North just might be the church you call home.
