Interfaith Lake County was formed to bring people of all religions together to pray for peace and unity countywide. Today, it holds the same vision and promotes it through Peace Prayer Services, as its members and board continue to look for ways to provide more opportunities for people to get involved and put their prayers to action.

A month ago on Monday, a gunman attacked worshipers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, leaving 50 dead. Officials in New Zealand have already changed gun laws there in hopes that the March 15 attack will never be repeated.
Who We Are
The first organizing efforts behind the Interfaith Council of Lake County began weeks before June 12, 2016, but it can be said that Interfaith Lake County, as it exists today, can credit its strong beginning to the community's reaction to the Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando, Florida. Metropolitan Orlando is located adjacent to and just south of Lake County, Florida. While Orlando is a large city with a very diverse population, Lake County's population is composed mostly of rural areas and small towns. The population of Lake County is older than Orlando and predominantly white. Most of the people in Lake County are Christians with a few Jews and Muslims.read more
