About Us.
Lake Mary Church was birthed from a vision to Honor God, Love Life, and Make Disciples. Starting in 2010 in the Performing Arts Building at Lake Mary High School, our journey over the past decade has been marked by God’s faithfulness in every aspect. Today, we celebrate four Sunday services, three Student Services, and over 70 Life Groups gathering weekly.
⸻ Our Beliefs
We believe in a thing called love.
We hold dear the belief in God as the Creator and Ruler of the universe, and we treasure the Bible as His living Word to us. Our faith revolves around Jesus Christ, whom we recognize as the Son of God. Through His death and resurrection, we find the promise of eternal life, freely offered to us when we repent of our sins and accept God’s gracious gift of Salvation.

Our Story
Lake Mary Church was birthed with one vision in mind - to make disciples in Lake Mary, FL. With our first service on Easter Sunday in the Lake Mary High School Auditorium, hundreds of hours of prayer and preparation went into these humble beginnings.
On Thanksgiving Day in 2011, the whole
team had Thanksgiving dinner together and then packed one, small U-Haul with everything we owned and moved into the Charisma Media Building in the heart of Lake Mary.
As LMC continued to grow with over 400 attendees, we ventured on our first Baja Missions Trip with a team of 10. As our campus ministry started to expand, we acquired the second-floor suite in the warehouse and turned it into the Student Center.
After five years of establishing foundations, 2016 was the year we officially introduced Equip and Empower to complete our Discipleship Journey. As we continued to grow, we launched our fourth service and God provided a 26-passenger bus!
After reaching over 1,000 regular attendees, 2018 proved to be a monumental year as we experienced the incredible provision of the Lord when he entrusted us with the building and property as we became building owners!
This was the year of transformation. Our Church came together and transformed the property that God blessed us with to be suitable for a church of our size. The Nehemiah Project involved over 300 servant leaders who voluntarily worked around the clock to renovate the first floor of our new building.

Pastor Shaddy and Amy’s paths intertwined on their college campus, where God ignited a profound and transformative journey in both of their lives.
