Their annual Christmas spectacular is a must see event
Great place to worship and get food for the soul. Please stop by very friendly and welcoming.
The best church in Orlando. Love me some Pastor Uth!
Great space to thank God, great, generous and blessed people wait for those who wish to attend and congregate there, there is service in Spanish on Saturdays and Sundays
What a great place to be reconnected with God in the name of Jesus Christ
Best church ever. This is my home. My husband got baptized here.
A place to know more about God's love and the passion to love people and serve others.
It's a big church, but the life groups are amazing!
Great place. It s not about religion, it s about life. Real life, real people, living with a real God!!
Everyone makes you feel like family, I love it so much,
I've been to a lot of churches but attendance First Baptist Orlando Church was a beautiful experience I as a Christian enjoyed every minute I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit
I love first baptist Orlando an institution for God and all people
Members here truly show Jesus, ministry is about Jesus. Great place to fellowship and learn Gods word
Going to the church I felt like I was in social security office, people are fake and disconnected. Did not feel if I was at a holy place to worship mighty god. At a safe holy place at compassionate place. Fake people hiding behind jesus name.
It's wonderful exhilarating and it's a beautiful place to be with loving people learn the truth God's word in the name of Jesus
Wonderful place where we all need to be every Sunday
Come and join the fun! Have you seen him Christ Jesus the baby?
In a center of adoration to our God and the study of the word from our daily life, it is a center of peace, faith and hope!
This is where I feel at home. I feel God in this place.
Regardless of the size, it feels like a close knit family.
This is a beautiful house to worship the creator. This is where the SINGING TREE is originated. And starting December 8,9,10, 14,15,16 and 17. You can enjoy of the real reason we celebrate Christmas.
Attended the "singing Christmas trees" back in December. It was awesome. Church is beautiful, message was also very good
Very big, with an homage to the traditional baptist feel
Sadly, I attended a funeral yesterday. Ushers were so kind. Film crew was very respectful. Basically, it was a beautiful ceremony and well organized. Of course, it's God's . I would expect peace and love.
Went to The Summit on Religious Freedom. It has been interesting. Would have liked a stronger opposition speaker against individuals being able to discriminate against protected status. Flags are not people, flags do not get rights, ideas do not get rights, people do.
Pastor David is an amazing pastor and teacher. This church is more than an emotional feeling it is the example of what God wants the church to be like. No legalism and no judgemental Christians to deal with. I would highly recommend this church to any new Christians or Christians seeking something more than a church with a bunch of rules.
Great we when first coming in and warm loveable people with great service
Great worship. People were so kind. Strangers greet you and they put their hands on my family as they prayed over us. Very welcoming. Very sincere members here. Don't be overwhelmed because of the size. You will feel at home. Also came for a concert and met so many believers. The Outcry concert featuring Jesus Culture, Lauren Daigle and my favorite group Elevation worship performed here. See some pics of the concert.
Great church that provides for all in the Orlando communiy ! Its a pleasure to see people helping people !!!
If it were not for this church, I would not be where I am in my relationship with Christ! Yes it s a big church and you may feel lost. However, the secret is to get into a "Life Group", this is what we call Sunday School. The groups are organized by current life stage, or current struggle in life. For example, my Life Group is "Servants Quarters", we are young married couples with children 20s-40s. We are all growing in Christ and serving him while sharing and supporting each other during trials. We meet between 7:45am and 8am on Sundays. Too early for you? I think there are close to one hundred different life groups. Suffering from a loss in your life or struggling with an addiction, or maybe you have an opportunity in parenting. There IS a life group for you! Also not all life groups meet at church, they have life groups weekly in homes throughout the community. If you are ready for Christ to change your life jump in and try something new. You will not get new results by doing the same thing over and over again.
Been going here now for 6 years as our winter home church. Could not be happier. Every service we have attended has been outstanding. Most bring my wife and I to tears at some point. Beautiful music, honest and personal sermons from Pastor David. You absorb every word he says. We have gotten many other "snow birds" to join us. All you have to do is get them to come once.
Amazing service and I only come here once a year because it's vacation but I loved it and I'm exited to visit next year plus I could watch the live streams of it so 100/5 would go again. PS thanks it was fun
The Hillsong United concert should have been better marketed. There is no information available at all.
I was with an elderly woman and we had to climb several steps. There was no one to assist us in finding an elevator for my friend so that was very worrying on the way upstairs and coming back down.
Excellent, organized, friendly people, beautiful music, beautiful structure and feel Peace and love for God.
The church is a blessing! Pure adrenaline praise, the presence of the Lord in this place is immense, very good
If you've never been to this church, you are missing out on a gem regardless of your denomination. I have never been to a church that is so welcoming, lively and friendly. They offer both traditional and contemporary services, lots of groups and activities for all ages and a marvelous story teller as their Senior Paster, Paster David Ute.
Great place to have a fund-raising banquet. Good food and outstanding servers.
As someone who believes in helping those of us who are homeless and struggling to survive on the streets. I discovered this Church turning away a man in need NOT once, but THREE times.. He asked for a mere $100 to help him with his storage unit rent and they turned him away. Any organization that claims tithes in the Name of the Father only to abuse the poor and deceive the congregation into thinking they are helping the needy Americans need to take a long hard look in the mirror. The devil you should fear is the SAVAGE within the palm of your hand. Remember, actions speak louder than words.
Very friendly church! LOTS of outreach efforts! Great choir! Good mix of contemporary and older songs. Had a guest speaker the Sunday we visited, so can't comment on preaching.
The singing Christmas Trees at this church is such a great event. I'd highly recommend it.
Loved the warmth and friendliness of the greeters. Worship music really helped lead me into God's presence and the message pointed me clearly to a place of hope in Christ. A wonderful first experience.
Enormous church with at least the size of a college campus. Comfortable stadium seating. Staff was very helpful and courteous. Great sermon and music was well worth it. Kid's area was good size also with their own stage and sound system. Food area near kid's area with Starbucks. Also has a gift shop. Foyer and surrounding area around auditorium is well furnished with comfortable seating.
I would like to know if they are a Christian evangelical community?
Nice place of worship. I love to worship there everytime I travel to US
We attended a children's musical which followed a week of music camp. It was great! Wonderful music, drama, dance, humor, as it stressed the need to follow after God.
Big church with x big heart for people and and love for God. Singing Christmas tree show was good!
Wonderful Living Trees performance and amaging venue. A uplifting production that defines the true leaning Of Christmas.
Luv this congregation. ....while the building is comfortable, the staff remarkable, the singing is unsurpassed, fabulous musicians. ......it's the great Christ minded people that won me over!
Incredible place to hold "say yes to Jesus" revival or any other large event
Very welcoming place, dynamic church, renovated, spacious, and comfortable auditorium.
Blessed place. The Lord's word is so impacting. I really feel the Holy Spirit
They have a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere. I do not feel overwhelmed by the large size of the church but instead I feel the rush of acceptance flowing from this church. I do not feel antagonized or criticized when I go here. Instead I feel the want to change and better myself and take in the words that they use to empower me. Their music is simply beautiful also, along with the singers. When I go here I don't feel like I am just anywhere I feel as though I am in church. A warm, welcoming, loving, nurturing, church.
It is the best church. God continue to bless your leaders.
Great pastor. Awesome praise music. Big but very friendly.
Great worship team/music, a truly thought provoking and convicting message. The pastoral staff has done a fantastic job filling in for Pastor David!!
great church for families! It is a big church! But, has many wonderful resources to help you fit in! Pastor David the biggest heart and passion for Christ and his congregation! I just love my church!
Last Sunday was only my 2nd visit but it looks like there will be many more! I truly enjoyed their balance of having contemporary worship and expository preaching! That is something truly rare to find in a church, that you can worship with lively music but still preach solid Biblical doctrine. Amen!
This church changed my life and helped me renew my connection with Christ. Pastor Uth interprets the word with clarity, and life group with Pastor Jimmy is the best. They really love the Lord and it shows.
I went to this church when I was on vacation in the Orlando area. As a European, I was almost shocked by the size of the building. Modern worship music. Interesting preaching by the senior pastor. Perhaps one of the few places in Orlando where not everybody is wearing mouse ears .
I went there to take some classes, since they offer different classes open to the public. Very nice campus, with a cafe and even has security! Not just a place to worship.
