Our Life Together

Incarnation Oviedo is a community of Christians who believe the truth of Jesus Christ as revealed to us in the Bible, celebrated in the Anglican tradition, and embodied in our relationships with one another.

Worship

Each Sunday morning we gather for Holy Eucharist, Rite II at 10:15am. The chapel is filled with the prayers and praises of people just like you - individuals, couples, families, college students, young professionals, retirees and children! Beautiful symbols of Christian redemption invite each of us into God's big story: the vestments of the ministers, the liturgical colors, the decorated holy altar, processional candles and the crucifix. Music lifts our souls to heaven- whether led by an organ or an acoustic guitar, a choir or a soloist. This- all of it- is our rich inheritance from the Anglican Tradition. We are blessed. Childcare and Children's Worship is offered for kids 0-5th grade. The festivities concludes with refreshments and conversation in the Narthex. Join us! You belong here!

Nurture

Sunday School and Weekday Small Groups are offered at various times and places around Oviedo and the broader Orlando area throughout the year. These gatherings are geared to helping us grow in our knowledge and love of God and others. There are additional opportunities to nurture our faith throughout the year, as well like the beloved liturgy of the Blessing of The Animals for the Feast of St. Francis, or the annual Advent Wreath Workshop and Lenten Soup Study. We believe in worshipping hard and playing hard and recognize there isn't always a distinction between the two! We happily affirm that the good news of the Gospel is nurturing us holistically - body and soul - and that this nurture takes place only in the context of relationship with one another.

Witness

Incarnation Oviedo serves alongside ministries and non-profits in the Oviedo and greater Orlando area in a varitey of ways. Each month, for instance, we set aside a portion of our Sunday offering to be sent to the UCF Knights Pantry, or Hope Helps, or The Seminole County Pregnancy Center, or the Boys and Girls Club of Oviedo. We want to bless those who are doing the work of God's kingdom in our community: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, taking care of the widow and orphan. We are convinced that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was never intended to create an insular club, but to be a public announcement that all things are being made new. After all, having experienced God's love in Worship, and having been Nurtured in that love with one another, how could we not share it with others?

From Our Rector

Welcome! My name is Josh Bales. I was ordained to the Priesthood in 2015 and I have served at Incarnation Oviedo since December 2023. I love this church, and I think you will, too!

As an Episcopal church in the Anglican tradition, we care about the Scriptures, about church history, and about our vocation as God’s people today. We have taken a phrase from St. Augustine, “Beauty ever-ancient, ever-new,” as a constant reminder that the Christian Gospel is not only true but beautiful in its truth. And because it is ancient in its forms and content, it is also refreshingly new to us as we seek to understand and apply it to our lives today, through the power of God’s Spirit. In light of this, our weekly expression of worship is beautiful and reverent, liturgical and relevant, biblical and relational.

We are a mixture of people from all walks of life: individuals and families, young and old, working professionals and UCF students. Some of us have been Christians for a long time. Others are skeptics or new to the faith. One thing is certain: we’re all trying to figure out together what it means to follow Jesus as Lord right now, in a world that can be as joyful as it is confusing.

Will you join us this Sunday? We’re saving a place for you in our church family.

The Rev. Josh Bales
