About Us
Pastor Willie Iwankiw
Senior Pastor
Was born in Brazil and grew up in Chicago. He studied Religion at Andrews University in the state of Michigan where he served as a pastor for seven and a half years and most recently in Kent, Washington. He is passionate about helping people find hope in Jesus and connecting them with a church family where they might serve others in their local community.
If you’re located in the greater Orlando area, Pastor Willie would love for you to stop by the Apopka Seventh-day Adventist Church. You’ll be greeted with a warm smile and genuine interest in your experience. You’ll find that you have more in common than you realized.
Church History
The Apopka Seventh-day Adventist Church was organized on January 7, 1956 with 57 members. The congregation moved several times before building a facility on South Highland Avenue in the early 1960’s. The church quickly grew and needed a new expanded facility. Land was purchased on Votaw Road in Apopka. The first phase, which includes a social hall, offices and classroom facilities, was completed in 2003. Worship is currently being held in the social hall. The construction is now well underway for Build 7, which will complete a sanctuary, a gymnasium and additional classrooms to advance the church’s vision of serving the community seven days a week.
