Over the years, America’s millions of physically, mentally, and emotionally disabled have made great strides in the workplace, but places of worship have lagged behind. See how Northland, along with many other churches and individuals, are working to change this.
Dr. Hunter served as senior pastor of Northland Church in Longwood, Florida for 32 years. In 2017 he transitioned from that role on a mission to “go from my best interpretation of what the Bible says, to my best imitation of how Jesus lived.” Now, Dr. Hunter, a full-time volunteer, serves as the Chairman of the Community Resource Network, a non-profit organization that focuses on helping the marginalized - specifically homeless families. Dr. Hunter also serves as the Chairman of the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness, a Florida-based nonprofit organization comprised of government officials, corporations, faith communities, and other non-profit organizations working together to end homelessness. He also leads a “Bible Study and Conversation” to teach people how to live like Jesus. These teachings take place at the Maitland Civic Center from 7-9 pm on Wednesday evenings. Participants can direct their offerings to help homeless families and/or distribute the church.
