Back in November 2023, I felt hopeless having exhausted my search for a church. I'd spent months researching websites, scrolling through social media pages, and emailing the leadership of dozens of churches... yet none of them seemed to align with what I was looking for. I was about to give up when I made the last-ditch effort to look at yelp (yes, this yelp). I was three page results deep when I found this lovely comment section. I don't normally look at reviews older than 2 years - let alone 7 or 9 - but for whatever reason I still went to the Metro Life Church webpage to learn more. The website so perfectly described what I was looking for, and despite the church being outside of my initial search radius, I decided to visit one Sunday. I was so pleasantly overwhelmed by how kind and intentional they are. I filled out a connect card with a prayer request of looking for a job. Within a day I had someone so incredibly kind reaching out wanting to get to know me, what jobs I was looking for, and how to pray. She introduced me to some wonderful people from the church in my industry, and they forwarded my resume to different people who were hiring. Within weeks, I finally got a job. The church was genuinely looking to help and encourage me, even as a guest. Fast forward to now -August 2024- I am a member of Metro Life Church. I am plugged into community and feeling fulfilled in my surroundings of such a strong body of believers... it has truly been such a blessing. If you are reading this and considering a church home in Central Florida, I highly encourage Metro! If a yelp review could help me find my home, I certainly hope this one can do the same for you. Some answers to my "Church Search FAQs": There's plenty of parking in the surrounding parking lots. Childcare is provided. There are nursing rooms and cry rooms in the sanctuary. The facility is well maintained and clean. The worship is not too loud or bright with lights, there is a true heart of worship and sensitivity to the Spirit. The sanctuary is not too cold or hot, although if you tend to get chilly easily and are sitting under a vent, you may want to bring a sweater. There is coffee and tea available, and sometimes snacks. Dress is whatever best suits you - I have worn a variety from nice dresses to jeans and a t-shirt. There currently is no "turn and greet your neighbor" segment in the service. There is a time of tithe and offering. When communion is offered, there is a gluten free version available. Community Groups extend throughout central Florida, from Winter Park to Sanford and in between. Metro Life Church is nondenominational, reformed charismatic. Any other questions you may have, they will gladly answer it! I hope to see you soon at Metro!

We've been church hunting for awhile, and a friend invited us here. The folks here are really…read morefriendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. Two youths were baptized, and I was touched to see that it was they both had a parent baptize them. It made an awesome event even more personal. I also thought it was cool that kids join the adults for worship before being dismissed to their own program. I think that's a great way to make church a family thing. I look forward to coming back.

When we moved to Orlando in 2018, we embarked on a journey to find a church that felt like home…read more After visiting nearly every church within a 10-mile radius of downtown, we found our spiritual refuge at Grace Church Orlando--a place where God's reassurance and the warmth of His body are undeniable. Over the past three years, we've taken the time to learn about Grace, serve within its ministries, and even benefit from its excellent counseling services. This year, we're overjoyed to officially call it home. Here's what you can expect on a typical Sunday: warm, welcoming faces genuinely excited to see you, an abundance of doughnuts (yes, doughnuts), worship with heart and flair, a biblical yet relatable sermon, spontaneous prayers from strangers (whether you realize it or not), and, did I mention the doughnuts? Grace is truly a "come as you are" church. Whether you lean toward casual attire or feel comfortable dressing up a bit, you'll find yourself among a diverse crowd--from laid-back free spirits to Lily Pulitzer devotees. And while a three-piece suit might raise a few eyebrows, you can be assured there's no judgment here. One of the most beautiful aspects of Grace is how it bridges the gap between tradition and simplicity. For those with a Catholic background like me, there are touches of familiarity--such as the Eucharistic prayer before communion and the recognition of Lent with Ash Wednesday services and enhanced immersive experiences. Advent is celebrated with heartfelt traditions like lighting the candles of love, hope, joy, and peace. At the same time, Grace simplifies the journey of faith, removing formalities like rosary prayers and the necessity of specific rituals, focusing instead on Jesus' sacrifice and God's boundless love. Pastor Mike's sermons are delivered with genuine passion and authenticity. Grace combines modernity with elements of liturgy in a way that resonates deeply and challenges you to reflect on how to apply Christ's teachings to your daily life. For us, Grace became a true community through its student ministries. As children of immigrants, my husband and I often felt like outsiders. Serving on the student hospitality team has allowed us to create the kind of welcoming environment we always longed for. Sunday nights are a haven for middle and high school students, where small group leaders and hospitality staff work hard to know every child by name. And yes, they may come home with a box of doughnuts--fair warning! In addition to student ministry, we've found growth and connection through men's and women's ministry nights and are excited to start our first marriage small group. Grace has helped us prioritize Christ in our lives and deepen our walk of faith, even with our busy schedules. If you're searching for a modern-day liturgical church that inspires reflection and encourages authentic connection, I wholeheartedly recommend Grace Church Orlando. Come with an open heart--you'll leave with both your spirit and your hands full (likely with doughnuts).

Taking the advice of an Elite Yelper, I chose Grace based on her description which was exactly as she stated. People are warm and friendly, free coffee and donuts , impactful teaching of the word of God peppered with personal testimony really struck a chord. I've been traveling and missed worshipping with others, but after this past week was so happy to walk into a church where it felt like family. I needed to feel connected to the body of Christ after Charlie's death and if you're searching for a place to belong, I think you'll find it here. God bless you as you seek God's will for your life.

This congregation and the elders here have been an integral part of my life and the life of my family for over a decade. Marc specifically has baptized me, strengthened me in my infant faith, encouraged me in my season of singleness, comforted me through something seemingly so small as heartbreak, labored with me and my fiancé in premarital counseling, and has continued investing in my marriage and my family since then. I have based all major life decisions around this church, including my career and home purchases. All that to say, it is no light matter as to why myself and my family can no longer gather with this church and submit ourselves under the preaching and shepherding of Marc Brashear. It's not due to any nonessential doctrine such as church government and it's not due to any preference such as types of evangelistic ministries the elders pursue. To save myself from accusations of slander, I won't state the reasons here, but I do pray for repentance and reconciliation on this side of eternity with the elders that remain here.

I also didn't like how they brushed off those who need prayer cause this day and age who doesn't. We were dismissed and they said any who need it come up front.
