About First United Methodist Church of Orlando
About Methodist Churches
Methodist churches trace their roots to John Wesley's 18th-century revival movement within the Church of England. They emphasize God's grace available to all people, personal holiness, and social justice — known as "works of piety and mercy." Worship is typically blended, mixing traditional hymns (including Wesley's own compositions) with newer music. United Methodist congregations, the largest Methodist body in the U.S., are connectional — meaning local churches are linked through a shared structure of districts and conferences. Methodists practice infant baptism and open communion, welcoming all who seek Christ to the Lord's Table.

★★★★★This was just beautiful. A quartet playing as if it was a hundred musicians. I love Vivaldi's four seasons and every piece was played beautifully.

★★★★★What a beautiful venue for the Comissions on Homelessness Central Florida meeting. The restrooms here were clean and well maintained. The church is huge with 3 levels. Enjoyed the meeting, and what a wonderful experience…
