The Wekiva Legacy Society

The Wekiva Legacy Society recognizes our church members who are “Looking Ahead”, and have chosen to extend their support of the church beyond their own lifetime; and who are “Looking Up” as they commit the future of the church to God’s providence and grace.   There are many ways to remember the church in your estate planning.  Many Wekiva Legacy Society members have found that the simplest way to do this is to make the church one of their life insurance beneficiaries. 

The photo with this post shows the symbol of the Wekiva Legacy Society, a design unique to Wekiva Presbyterian Church as it is the design of the skylight in our Sanctuary. 

Each year on “Scottish Sunday” there is a Wekiva Legacy Society luncheon to say thank you to all who have remembered the church in this way.  If you would like to  know more about the Wekiva Legacy Society, speak with one of the members of the Endowment Trust Committee: Sam Tomlinson, Dale Maloney, Tom Roberts, David Fazekas, Nadyne Pennington, and Brandon Woods.

At Wekiva Presbyterian Church, the main idea of what we are doing is this.  We are affirming:
- Life at its best is lived in Jesus,.
- Through Jesus’ words we hear what is best for us.
- Through Jesus' actions we see how we are called to live.
- By God’s grace, we can live out God’s love in the world, by cooperating in God’s work.
Life in every place is what it is supposed to be, when it is lived in Jesus.  Jesus is the beautiful Savior, the ruler of the nations.
Because Jesus is the Ruler of the Nations, we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.  Join us in this adventure of faith!
This is a Wekivaword.

Psalm 50:23 – Find many things to be thankful for today—and let God know that you are thankful.  This is the right way to live today and each day.  This is a Wekivaword.

For more than thirty years, the Christian Child Center of Wekiva Presbyterian Church has nurtured young children and their families in a traditional preschool in the Longwood-Wekiva-Altamonte Springs area. 

Our goal is to create the love of learning in a child.

This goal includes a well-defined purpose to provide a loving and friendly Christian atmosphere where a growing child’s spiritual, social, mental and physical needs can be nurtured and developed.  Our bright and airy classrooms are designed to encourage each child’s cognitive thinking skills, learning by doing and discovery. 

Our teachers provide experiences in the languages, science, nutrition/food, creative movements, social studies, art, music, math, media/computer, pre-reading and writing skills.  The children benefit from weekly chapel programs, music classes, visits from the fire department, zoo days, vision screening, and learning about holidays and special days.

I Peter 1:3 – Live today as a new-born follower of Christ, no matter how long you have been a Christian.   Let the old things that have encumbered you now be finished and gone.  Honor commitments that are ongoing.  And live in hope for God’s emerging future.  This is a Wekivaword.

2 Timothy 4:17 – Sometimes we are in difficult places and later we think, How did I get through that.  This passage is reminding us that it is God who stands beside us and strengthens us in tough times.  This is a Wekivaword.

Wekiva Presbyterian Church’s “Christian Child Center” (CCC) is the Longwood-Wekiva area’s longest-established and most-highly regarded traditional preschool. Young children are welcomed into a bright and pleasant Christian setting providing nurturing instruction and training. A few examples of our goals and objectives are as follows:

-The staff strives to provide a warm, nurturing Christian environment through words and actions.
-To let children know the importance in giving thanks in prayer to God.
-To learn about themselves and to feel valued and secure in their relationships.
-To develop social and emotional skills.
-To develop reading readiness skills.
-To develop mathematics readiness skills.
-To learn about celebrating seasons and special days during the calendar year.

We provide the children with opportunities to develop and use small and large muscles as well as time to listen to stories and interact with each other. The CCC is a wonderful way to begin your child on the pathway of enjoying learning throughout his or her lifetime.
