Welcome to Deltona Christian Church! This is a place of welcome for all people. Children are welcome to stay in worship or go to the nursery (ages 0-5) or leave after the children’s moment for a time of education (elementary age). Today we celebrate Jesus victory over death. Happy Easter! Please center yourselves in a spirit of joyous worship. The only thing that needs to be silenced here is your cell phone.
