About This Organization

Church In The Son began on Palm Sunday, 1990, with its very first service held at the Orlando Museum of Art. To our amazement, over 250 people attended that first Sunday. Our founder and Lead Pastor, Alex Clattenburg, had a vision to create a church where the Holy Spirit would be free to work in the lives of people, where worship could be experienced freely, and where people could move beyond traditional formality. With no backing from any organization, but fueled by prayer and obedience, we stepped out in faith, believing for God to do something great—and He did!

From the beginning, we’ve been passionate about reaching those far from God and sharing the love of Jesus. Through our ministries, we continue to see people from all backgrounds experience the power of the Holy Spirit and their lives transformed.On December 15th, 2024, Pastor Alex anointed Pastor Jonathan and Jackie D’Angelo as our new lead pastors, marking an exciting new chapter for Church in the Son.

We are so grateful to God for what he has done in and through our church family. The story of Church In The Son is still being written, and we can’t wait to see what God has in store for the future!
