The Church in Florianopolis



Hey yall. I would like to take you on a tour of the church building in Florianopolis. The church building is three stories tall but very thin. I found it quite pleasant and very homey. The group above is my fellow team members from the LST mission trip. They are the best friends a person could ever wish for. They are a blessing in my life. From the left is Ben Graves, Sarah Vinzant, Will Brown, Sarah Borgelt, and then Myself. We are standing in front of the church.

So as the song says "Lets start from the very beginning"-the entrance.
These Three photos are the church sign hanging out front the main gate/door, The lobby with the the wicker like chairs (there is a desk not shown in the bottom left corner of the picture w/a phone, and then of course the front door and the gate.

Just around the corner from the lobby is a little room with a sofa and some huge bean bags. One of the cool hang out places in the church. Sometimes we even napped there.
Next is the classroom on the bottom floor. You will see the location for baptisms in the back on the other side of the window
(some people go to the beach for the baptisms).
There is small hallway that connects the main front lobby and the kitchen. In the middle is this classroom. Now then...on to the kitchen. We've made our way down the hallway. And now your in the equivalent of a fellowship room. In the back is the actual kitchen.
We had so much fun in this kitchen. Everyday we would have a group devotional~AmAzInG!~and we would cook lunch together. We jammed out to music while cooking alot. Our food was awesome.Yum for food and fun. I'll put a photo of one of our meals next.
Alrighty then, now we're gonna back up to the main lobby/entrance and go up the stairs to the second floor. On the second floor there are 3 classrooms. Two normal classrooms where the youth group have their classes on Sunday mornings and then a room for smaller kiddos. The next photo is the hallway going upstairs. After that is a picture of another lobby-like room before you enter the classroom area. The 3rd picture was my room for classes with LST. It is also the room where the older members from the youth group met/meet. The 4th photo is the little kiddo room.
Now we are going to continue up to the 3rd floor. Which is sorta like a multipurpose room/ auditorium and meeting place for Sunday morning worship. The previous small hallway continues past that second floor lobby~like room. If you look down the stairs as your walking up to the second floor, you can see the kitchen. You will see the photos leading up to the 3rd floor next.
So now it's time to see the 3rd floor. This is the location where most of LST parties were held. There is one photo of the overall room and one photo looking out the window towards the baptistry.


Welp, this concluded our tour of the Floripa Church. This place really feels like another home to me. I had so many great memmories here. I love this place and all of the people who attend it.
