Frequently Asked Questions

When and where do you meet?
Currently we have our regular worship service every Sunday night at 6pm in the Interlachen Seventh Day Adventist Church, about 1.5 miles south on CR 315 in Interlachen. We are in the process of developing small groups, an Awana Ministry, and many other areas as we grow.

Why start a campus in Interlachen when you already have a thriving campus in San Mateo?
With soaring gas prices and the effects of an economic crunch reaching across the nation, the Interlachen campus developed out of the idea of taking the church to the people. A few members that lived in the Interlachen area approached Pastor Terry with the idea of saving them a 60 mile roundtrip drive, but still enjoying the church family they love. At that time, God had also been working in the hearts and minds of some of the staff at Dunns Creek about reaching out from the San Mateo community to so many who have connected with the Dunns Creek Ministry. From that point, God continued to provide to lead us to where we are today.

What kind of people go to Dunns Creek in Interlachen?

Upon driving onto the Dunns Creek campus, you will begin to sense that you are not going to just another “typical” church. People from all walks of life attend Dunns Creek. If you are concerned about fitting in, just imagine Dunns Creek as a rescue boat, not a cruise ship. Every weekend you will encounter a diverse group of believers who will love and accept you for who you are while sharing the life changing truth that Jesus Christ cares for you and died for your sins.

What can I expect if I were to visit one Weekend?
Our 6pm service consists of a blend of modern worship songs and hymns in a contemporary fashion led by one of the many talented worship leaders involved at Dunns Creek. The environment is very relaxed, dress is casual, and Pastor Terry Wright consistently teaches about the basics of the Christian faith  and the freedom that comes through a  Spirit controlled life.  His sermons help build courage and confidence to live a life devoted to Christ.

Do I have to be a member to go to church or do anything at Dunns Creek?
The only two areas that require membership are teaching and holding the main leadership position on a ministry team.  Other than these two areas you are welcomed and wanted all the time.

How is Dunns Creek involved in missions work?
Locally, Dunns Creek is very active with the Dunns Creek Outreach Ministry called "Hope For The Hungry", WHIF 91.3 Radio, A Women’s Resource Center, our Men's Ministry team, and the St. Johns River Baptist Association.  Throughout our state we connect and participate with the Florida Baptist Convention.  We associate nationally with the North American Mission Board and all its projects and internationally with the International Mission Board.  We have  numerous other missions and agencies that we participate with throughout the region and nation. 

Do you have a nursery?

The Children’s Ministry at Dunns Creek offers childcare in a secure facility staffed by caring professionals. All our childcare workers receive a background check before working with us. Children and parents are checked in and out when leaving the facilities. We offer childcare for babies and older.

What activities do you have for children?
We are currently in the process of developing an Awana ministry. Awana provides a solid foundation for children to know and grow with God.
