Our Story
"In the beginning..."
...we kicked around several ideas: start a coffeehouse, buy and run a bar, do a live ‘Letterman’ style show.
After many weeks of prayer, a group of people began meeting in homes in September 1999, a gathering that would eventually be dubbed 'Bliss.'
In February 2000, the young group decided to start having a worship service on Sunday nights. The M.O.: spare, un-produced, rough, exuberant, and real. The corporate worship time was named "fluid," a reference to its unstructured approach.
Since the beginning, fluid has partnered with Cornerstone Community Church, using their meeting facilities for the worship time. Originally in Maitland, the meeting place moved to the Slovak Gardens and finally to its current location in Oviedo.
In Feb 2004, Bliss took a major step in its unscripted evolution. After many months of prayer the Elders decided that due to the steady growth in attendance, Bliss would be split into three different groups meeting in three different locations. Four years later in June of 2008, again after much prayer, the Elders made the decision to create a fourth group.
And now here we stand.
