Building God's Family
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens
with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of
the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple
in the Lord." Ephesians 2:19-22
Windermere Ministries will begin a defining moment in our church's history
- Building God's Family. Over the course of three years, we want to focus all
of our energy and resources into building our ministry for God's kingdom. That
will have a different look at each of our churches, but the emphasis is all
the same.

Windermere Community Church
Today we begin an incredible journey with God which will result in the transformation
of our lives, church, family and community. Our church is located in growing
area of Central Florida. New families move into the area daily and more housing
development are underway. Many of these families are visiting our church every
Sunday. We are making an eternal difference in their lives and God desires for
us to move to the next level of influence.
Our facilities are almost full. The dominant group of people moving into our
area is young families with children. In our Master Plan, facilities for every
age and ministry are planned, but we believe that the next building phase for
us is to provide a state-of-the-art Children's Education Building. It
will include:
- A safe and secure environment for all children
- Age-appropriate learning centers for preschool and children
- An indoor playground
- A children's worship theater
- Space for a Windermere Community Church Preschool
- Technological enhancements to facilitate Christ-centered development
The benefits of this building will be significant. We will be able to reach
more people for Christ, help families grow and impact the community at every
level. As our children move into this new space, we will use our modular space
for students and adults.

To reach more families and to expand our vision, we must first expand our facilities.
Limitation
The possibilities of growth at FBCW have only been limited
by the size of our facilities. We can only grow as large as our buildings can
accommodate.
Capacity
Two or three times a year we reach capacity in our Sunday
morning services due to parking, worship seating, and education space.
We can overcome our limitations and capacity by BUILDING A TWO-STORY EDUCATION
SPACE! 14,250 additional square feet that will join the FLC and the Worship
building together.
The first floor is for Preschoolers. This will include:
- State of the art security
- Parent viewing areas
- The latest technology
- An indoor preschool playground
- A room for special needs children

The second floor will be for our Children's Ministry and with a new
children's worship room.

The current Education Building will become Adult Campus Bible Fellowship
space on the first floor and the second floor will become a home for our Student
Ministry. The student space will include:
- Two large meeting rooms dedicated to Middle School and High School
- Offices for our Student Ministry staff
- Breakout rooms, all themed for students.
And that's not all
God has also provided us with the opportunity to purchase the house next to
our parsonage. The house on the corner of Forest and Fifth quickly came on the
market and the Pastor and Elders have made an offer contingent on church approval
for $455K. We will move the finance office in this space initially with future
plans to use this property to provide much needed parking for our campus.
