Avon Park Lakes (APL) is a residential community of about 2,500 people in northwest Highlands County, Florida.
The development, roughly C-shaped, reaches to the south a block north of State Road 64 and nearly to the northeast of U.S. Route 27.
Another, Iglesia Cristo te Ama, has part of its property inside APL, although the church building is just outside the development.
This Baptist church got its beginnings inside APL, meeting at the clubhouse before moving to its current location.
In 2014 Bread for Life Ministries began meeting Sundays in the clubhouse; this church plans to build at a location south of downtown Avon Park.
