Join us on a Wednesday at one of our many life groups around town, you are welcomed and we want to know you. Jesus has been so kind to me in allowing me to belong here.

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 am not big on review as everyone has a different opinion of what a church should be. However,…read moreafter reading the last two reviews I felt lead to write this review. My family and I come from a very small church and were apprehensive about the size of this church when we moved from Davenport FL to Orlando FL. We didn't want to get lost in the crowd. If you are looking for a sugar coated version of the bible this may not be the church for you. They have a great children's and youth church as well as amazing teachers. This is a very diverse church and that is the way I like it. Since moving to Orlando our family has been blessed to join this church. They have plenty of ways to serve within the church and outside the church. In short, if you have a chance to stop in and visit this South Orlando Baptist Church you will not be disappointed. Pastor Dave is very personable and a firm believer in God and His word. Let me add that Michele Purvis is an amazing woman of God and I am blessed to know her.

Congregation Activity Times - Sunday 9:30am School, Sunday 10:30am Service, Sunday 6pm Service, Wednesday 7pm Study: according to street level signage. Staff is limited. Voicemail may be challenging to respond immediately. This congregation values those that understand the importance of understanding just how dangerous the real world can be for clueless risk taking. Younger types would benefit from learning how important their role in Central Florida is for maintaining Central Florida's safety, and their own. The country doesn't need to be more devisive. We can all appreciate striving for some version of normalcy, healing sooner or later, and significantly less violence. Theme from 5/5/2024 - Unity does not mean conformity, and this country was founded on Liberty. Individualism respects differences, but all are children of God. We all matter, and lately all one can say, "It is what it is." Let's learn to try to aim true rather than continue to judge each other while making no choices to change how disruptive deception can be for all. We need to exercise discretion on choosing who to follow while taking life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, religion, and the future more respectfully. This is our time, and we are all chosen for this. Size - Small Community Congregation in Fern Park, FL. Address 414 Ridge Rd, Fern Park, Fl 32730 Directions - West Side of S US -17-92 between the cities of Maitland and Casselberry in the Fern Park neighborhood of Northern Orange County Florida (Orlando) very near South Seminole County.

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!

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.
