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

Advent Sermon Series | Faces at the Manger | begins Sunday, November 30

Join us this Advent and Christmas season as we reflect on the “Faces at the Manger.”

From angels and shepherds to a mother and father bound by a holy calling — one by one, we’ll remember those who first gazed upon the newborn face of the Christ-child.

Why them? What did they see? Who did they see?

Together, we’ll discover what their stories reveal to us today, as we look upon the Christ-child through their eyes.
