Description of Organization

First Presbyterian Church Orlando is downtown destination church with 3000+ members and 101 employees.

Everything we do flows from our belief in the God of the Bible who sent His son, Jesus, for the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of the world. The foundation is Jesus and the good news He brings to us (what we believe/our doctrine). We long to look more like Jesus every day. Our identity is shaped by who He says we are, rather than what the world says about us (who we are). As we are founded in and formed by the wisdom of God, through Jesus, we develop rhythms in our lives of work and rest, grace and truth, all to the glory of God and for the good of others (how we live).
