SEEK. LOVE. SERVE.

We specifically believe God has called First Church to SEEK, LOVE, & SERVE at the urban core of Downtown Orlando. First Church is uniquely, centrally placed at the intersections of government, the arts, commerce, education, and culture. The cross in our logo also resembles the points of a compass, with arrow points directing us outward toward our neighbors. We believe our calling is to SEEK, LOVE & SERVE, as we intersect and engage each unique element of the Downtown community.

Our vision and calling are to SEEK, LOVE, & SERVE.

Downtown Orlando is our mission field.

Welcome Home

We celebrate the wonderful gift of diversity of our downtown community and world. We affirm that all people are created in the image of God and all are worthy of God’s love and grace and community. We welcome and affirm the diversity of people of every sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, age, faith history, marital status, physical ability, cognitive ability, socioeconomic status and all who have been marginalized.

We are better together! You are welcome here.

Earn all you can and save all you can, so that you can give all you can.
-John Wesley

Sunday Night Book Study | Study begins Sunday, January 11, 2026 | 5:30 – 7:00 pm | Conference Room

Discover how to break free from patterns that keep your faith shallow—like avoiding conflict, suppressing emotions, and living a hurried life without limits. In this study, Peter Scazzero unpacks the top ten symptoms of emotionally unhealthy spirituality and offers biblical principles for true, beneath-the-surface transformation. Zoom option available upon request.
