Everyone friendly and welcoming. Whenever I'm in Orlando this us my go to Church to listen what word God has for me

I went to the Brazilian campus of FBC Orlando. It was very full of life! I am really rusty on Portuguese, but I still did not seek out translation- which I understand they offer. It was wonderful to learn the songs in Portuguese- I caught on to most of them about half way through. The message (I understood about 20%) was engaging. Probably would have been much more engaging if I was able to understand a greater amount- but even 20% was good. There is an English service in the main building. This campus is a smaller building, but it is very comfortable with a good amount of space. The lyrics and main points of the sermon are projected clearly as well. I totally recommend this church for anyone seeking a Brazilian Portuguese language church. read more

If I can give stars in the negatives I would. The leadership of this church should be ashamed of themselves. I have been used as a scapegoat and when I went to HR all they did was brush me under the rug. All this church believe in is protecting leadership and their corrupt behavior. All they did was try to intimidate me into silence, but I'm not afraid of none of these Idiots. I will be speaking out and releasing text messages from their HR and conversations with other people in Horizon West Church about the mistreatment, the bullying, and the slander that was done to me. I don't know who's running this Facebook page for this trash organization of demons, but let them know that I am not going to shut up. I have been bullied, targeted, my kids have been mistreated, we have been surveillance and made to feel unsafe in our own community and this was all under their Watch for the past four years. I have come to them for help and they've done nothing to help me. All they did was try to intimidate me by implying that I could be banned. They looked at me and dismissed me and dismissed my concerns to protect themselves in all of this hardship was allowed to happen because they made it safe for all of these people to do this to me and my family. I can't help but to think that this was allowed all because of their bias, prejudice, racism, and misogyny. I know for a fact that's why I was not protected. They allowed the HWC Pastor's wife who is a piece of shit and scum filled woman to be able to do whatever the hell she wanted to do and they knew they were wrong, but because they thought I was alone and and this White woman could do no harm, I didn't receive any support, they thought they can just run all over me. I'm not by myself. God is with me. I don't know who the hell they have y'all worshiping over there, but it's not my God. Everything's coming out and I'm using names and I have text messages to back it up. I am not playing games anymore. -this was a message that I sent to their Facebook that I am now blocked from. When I try to send an email I was blocked from that. I called them and then they want to call security because now I'm pissed off. I am not gonna stop talking about this and in fact, I'm gonna start calling out names in extreme detail of what was done to me and what they allowed to happen to me. read more

after the last 2 services being almost fully self serving in speaking about changes in the churches org chart with foreshadowing of multiple services that are to come in coming weeks in the same way I will longer be attending First Orlando. To waste the time of thousands of members who spend hours getting ready, getting to and attending service only to hear about internal politics is tone deaf, disrespectful and tacky and more importantly does not reflect what church is about. These services and the ones to come should have and could have been an email. after passing my feedback and the fact that I heard multiple other members noting the same feelings I was a little shocked and disappointed that the reception was effectively thanks for your input. Thanks but no thanks, I've seen enough. read more

Truly bible based. This feels like a bible study every Sunday. I believe this is how it should be. It's not just giving opinions, it's citing the source as well. They encourage you to join the jet groups after service and throughout the week, they serve EVERYWHERE! The posters are very down to earth and kind. They stand at the front or the back (there's more than one leading Paster) I asked them to pray over my newborn and they did on the spot. Very heart touching. They have a women's and babies area where you can go to get baby supplies as needed each Sunday, they also provide ultrasounds and more. Although it's big, stay a while and it becomes smaller. The size makes it where they are able to do more things with the congregation. They SUPPORT PARENTS of young children with nursing rooms, specified areas to sit, and nursery for the baby. Their Christmas services are amazing! It's also wonderful to constantly see others starting their walk into the faith with baptisms . Talking about the review complaining about politics. I have been there when they "talk about politics" twice. (In one year) once when a bill was needed to be passed by citizens about abortions. They cited the Bible , I DO find this appropriate. They also cited in the Bible that talks about why they should be vocal. The other time was after Charlie Kirk was killed, they spoke on Hite evil of the world, and that no one should experience this & to lead further into Christ. Lastly when talking about creation they read the first chapter of the first book genesis stating that God made us in his image, as a man or a woman. They spoke about how we were made to be who God created us to be and cited their sources in multiple places. This IS appropriate because they are not spewing their opinions, they are telling us what the Bible says and they are not watering it down or bending it to what they want. read more

I love going to church to worship. I don't want to hear about politics. This pastor has brought politics to the church and those things should stay separate regardless of your political beliefs it's not something I want to hear about from a pastor. read more

Big church but very friendly. People met us at the "first time parking area" and were very nice and directed us into the sanctuary. Very good service. read more

Great biblical gospel preaching. Music was great as well. Very friendly. Pastors were totally approachable.

Pastor David preaches the Bible making it relevant to daily living as most preachers do. However, he makes one feel like we are just sitting around the kitchen table having a cup of coffee being blessed, learning the word of God, and how he has applied it to his life. The staff and worship team are great from what I seen and heard and you can see their impact of how God uses them in their roles. Now it is a BIG Church for sure but gives one many options to get involved. read more

Great Church. The one day in the week I feel good heard understood and home. Always feel the presence of God. And it's always with a smile knowing you're there to worship our Lord. read more

We, with friends, went on a bus tour to this church for a lovely buffet dinner, then to an area where animals are in pens (not cages) and lastly to watch the performance of The Singing Christmas Trees in this huge church. Oh my gosh...spectacular doesn't even begin to describe this event. The trees hold many people who sing...an orchestra plays incredible music, lights, décor, light snow briefly comes down. There are 'skits' that are well done by children and adults in great, colorful costumes. The highlight is...the birth of Baby Jesus. Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus, an angel floats down, 3 wise-men, shepherds, live animals on stage including a camel...WOW! read more

Thank you so much for the new app. It makes it much easier to access the information. Having grown up in "the church," gone to a Bible based college, and doing studies on my own, I thought I was pretty informed "Biblically." After attending services and watching on tv, I realize I have so much to learn. EVERY SINGLE SERVICE, God shows me new and wonderful things about His vision for me. Thank you for staying TRUE to God's word. read more

First Baptist Orlando is definitely a leader in Orlando. They pour back into the community like no one else. You will see a multicultural mixture of members. They offer traditional or contemporary services with translations in Spanish and Portuguese. They also have a Spanish service as well. It's a kid friendly environment, an active youth and college ministry too. Come check it out. I'm a member and I love it. read more

We begin with a prayer. "Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the impulse to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old. Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations. Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of One or All. That which will not bend must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise. It is Done." That said, I found service at First Baptist last week to be less than thrilling. Contemporary Christian music is horrible, and though they try, they really can't put lipstick on this pig. I'd more likely wake up to some old hymns than you-are-holy-holy nothingrock. Just saying. Give me something I can sink my teeth into. I also found the overformatting of all their signs in the lobby to be distracting. read more

Amazing church, been attending for 16 years. Life changing experience, need to come check it out...

As of January 1, 2017, the map location shown is still incorrect. First Baptist Church Orlando is just off I-4, at the corner of John Young Parkway and L.B. McLeod Road. The street address listed is correct. read more

Best service ever. I always leave service learning something new that I can apply to my life or acknowledge I already doing LOVE Paster Uth's services. read more

My first time attending FBO was two years ago. To this day the church as a whole are still as loving, welcoming, accepting, non-judgemental and deeply caring. I assumed I would feel out of place and ignored because of the size of the church but I was wrong. I felt (and still feel) at home, despite the size. It really does feel like a small family church. I'm so thankful for the leadership and all those who volunteer their time, too. They all have such passion for God, people and serving others. The sermons are top notch and biblically based. There are traditional and contemporary style services. The music is on point! There are so many ways to get involved with the church; Life Groups (on and off campus), Celebrate Recovery, ACTS classes, children's ministries, youth ministries, college ministries and even adult and senior ministries. You won't regret stopping by. read more

First Baptist Orlando - Easter Service 2016 - Churches Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First Baptist Church of Orlando is a huge church! They have a massive sanctuary along with all kinds of other big buildings for worship, fellowship, and education. I went here for the first time this summer with some friends for a Promise Keepers event. We had a really good experience. It was a great event and the senior pastor, Dr. Uth, spoke and some point and I was really impressed with him. I haven't been to a normal Sunday service, but I can recommend this church to just about anyone that is visiting Orlando or if you are a local looking for a solid Baptist experience. read more

Amazing church with wonderfully warm people that offers a wide array of services, LIFE Groups and has awesome music every Sunday. Highly recommend this church and if you're visiting make sure you stop at a welcome desk so they can direct you to the best places for you. Very nice bookstore in the church too and they have the very best holiday services for Easter, Christmas etc. lLove this church and Pastor David! read more

I've never been to this church but I just read all the reviews. The one star review stood out so I looked at the reviews other reviews. He makes fun of Jesus, says the bible "is stupid", and a lot of his reviews are with just unclever attempts to try to be clever or about beer or bars. I seriously doubt either 1) he attended the church or 2) he's an authoritative on what a church/Christian service is. Do your own due diligence when you consider every review. read more

I've been going to this church for about one year now and after visiting several churches in the Orlando area I find this to be my church of choice now. I love the humility and authenticity of Pastor David. And that seems to have flowed out to the pews. I've recently got involved with the singles group that I enjoy as well. There is wonderful music in the services and much diversity in the church itself! I would recommend those looking for a solid church to visit sometime. read more

amazing place! It's such a beautiful church, we feel the Holy Spirit, the people are lovely, the worship is amazing and the pastors (David and Danny) are lovely and kind! read more

If Christ is drawing you to himself, this is a great place to start becoming more grounded in the Word since Pastor David is wonderful at making it very personable and yet accurate! It's also a great place to Fellowship in the LIFE groups or go deeper in the ACTS classes. I've been a member a long time because of the great heart of this church that supports ago many other ministries. So I can truly testify that by giving I have been given much more in return. And yet no church is perfect but than neither am I. Just look and see that it is God who lead us anyway, and His Son who makes us acceptable, an only on His rock solid foundation has this church been built! That kind of trumps any other comment I could make. Seek Him first and the rest will work itself out through the power of the Holy Spirit. -Love ya Orlando! read more

Very supportive and friendly church. We love it. Highly recommend to try it out. Even it is huge church but it is very organized in groups where you can't get lost. read more

This was my first visit to this church and my first church service ever in Florida. I was looking to see where God would take me for a new church home. I am not saying this is it, but so far so good. I went on easter so the service was gonna be a tad different from the regular service. I must admit I was impressed with the sanctuary. It was nice and roomy with plenty of seats to go around and the sound system was awesome. I liked how they have the baptismal pool up top where everyone can see it. (What a special moment in your life to give to Christ) Also the band was definitely on point with the music and the worship leaders were also very very good. I thought the pastor did a great job in communicating his message about the importance of the day and what it represented for so many Christians around the world. The reenactment was also 4 stars!!!!!!! They showed what happened to jesus and the ultimate sacrifice He made for us by dying on the cross, only to rise on the 3rd day. ( If your not sure what happened, you can look it up in a bible or somewhere online). The campus was huge!!!!!!! I mean plenty of parking and a nice sized lobby area in the welcome center. Overall I can tell that God had blessed this place and will continue to do so. If He leads me here, then I will definitely be happy. read more

it seems weird to review churches right? But how else can you do your research with so many churches in the area. I love this church, this church is my home. I wasn't raised in a church or with a church background so I'm not comparing them to any other church. FBO is good place to start if you're looking to meet new people and form a community, it's so big which means there are a lot of different ways you can connect and be connected. While the majority of the church is white, there is a big Spanish/Portuguese attendance. I wish there were more ministers on staff that reflected the congregation but the pastors are all amazing. The music is contemporary and they have a Saturday early evening service for if you can't make it on Sunday. Give it a chance go one day and I really think you'll like it. One of the things I like best about the church is you don't have to be a member to participate any many of the events or life groups they have at the church, it's open to all. read more

Life changing every visit...as real as it gets. This is an incredible house of worship. Please attend at least once.
