Theme: Revive Us Again

The Community Bible Conference—also known as Camp Meeting—is a convocation—a coming together of God's family from Seventh-day Adventist churches across Florida. It's held on the campus of Forest Lake Academy in Apopka at 3909 E. Semoran Blvd.—just 10 miles northwest of downtown Orlando.

Community Bible Conference Held One Weekend

You may have read in a recent issue of Florida Focus that Camp Meeting would be conducted a full nine days as it has in the past. The announcement was made prior to Florida Conference's realization of its financial situation. Part of our response to financial issues is that we can only spend one-third of the customary amount for Camp Meeting. This means that Camp Meeting 2008 will only be conducted for one weekend.

Here's What's In Store For You at the Community Bible Conference

Sorry, no credit cards. Cash, money orders, or checks made out to Florida Conference only.

To purchase discs, mail a check or money order, payable to Florida Conference, to: Florida Conference, P.O. Box 2626, Winter Park, FL 32790-2626 - ATTN: Lee Bennett. If you wish to pick up copies in person and/or pay cash, first call (407) 644‑5000 x122 to confirm a time that staff will be in the office.

Henry Wright Sermons Available On DVD

Florida Conference is pleased to respond to the exceedingly popular demand for DVD copies of Henry Wright's sermons at the 2006 Community Bible Conference (Camp Meeting).

Wright's three evening messages from June 1-3 and the June 3 Sabbath worship sermon are on one DVD, available from the Conference communication department for $10. Sorry, no credit cards. Cash, money orders, or checks made out to Florida Conference only.

Please note, double-layer recordable DVDs were used to fit all four sermons on one disc. These discs might not play properly on DVD players older than a couple years. One player that was tested was able to play the first two sermons and a portion of the third before the second layer was reached and it could go no further.

To purchase discs, mail a check or money order, payable to Florida Conference, for $10 per disc to: Florida Conference, P.O. Box 2626, Winter Park, FL 32790-2626 - ATTN: Lee Bennett. If you wish to pick up copies in person and/or pay cash, first call (407) 644‑5000 x122 to confirm a time that staff will be in the office.

Video Streams

Camp Meeting videos from 2006 are available. We are currently researching means to improve the presentation of these videos to play more reliably on your computer. Additional sermons from other years will be made available after technical issues have been resolved.
