Wekiva Presbyterian Church

Wekiva Presbyterian Church is a large congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) which was founded in May 1977.

It was here in January of 2005, that Wekiva Presbyterian Church became one of the first churches anywhere to offer live webcasts of its 11 AM Sunday morning worship services via its website: http://www.wekivapresbyterian.org

Since 1997, the pastor and head of staff of the church has been the Rev. Dr. John A. Dalles, who is also known as a hymn writer; his hymns are published in denominational hymnals in the USA, Canada and Australia. The Rev. Paul W. Anderson has served as associate pastor since 1999. Both pastors are graduates of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

The church is located at 211 Wekiva Springs Lane, near the intersection of State Route 434 and Wekiva Springs Road in Longwood, Florida a suburb of Orlando. The name of the church is derived from the Wekiva River--"Wekiva" being a Native American word meaning "still water" or "sweet/fresh water".

Wekiva Presbyterian Church draws its members from Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Lake Mary, Heathrow, Maitland, and Orlando. It is noted for quality worship, education and mission programming, and provides free of charge a tutoring program for elementary aged children called "Tutor House".
