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

UPCOMING EVENTS
Join us on Sunday, October 27, for a special unified service at 10:30 am in the Sanctuary. Let’s come together as one church family to worship, and reaffirm our commitment to pray, be present, serve, and witness. We look forward to seeing you there!
Immediately following the service, join us for a light lunch as we gather together in fellowship. Kids are invited to head upstairs for the Fall Festival at noon, filled with fun activities!
All Saints' Day | Sunday, November 3 | Both Services
Join us for worship at 9:30 am and 11:00 am as we honor the saints of First Church who have passed away over the past year. We will read their names and light a candle in gratitude for their lives and legacies.
If you have a loved one you’d like to remember on All Saints’ Day—whether they were a member of First Church, passed away recently, or even some time ago—you are warmly invited to bring a photo to place on display during worship. Together, we will remember and celebrate all of our saints.
