One Year In. Just Getting Started.
One year ago, our church stepped forward together in faith.
We said yes to Greater.
Greater surrender.
Greater generosity.
Greater impact for the Gospel.
Today, we celebrate what God has already begun through your faithfulness.
But Greater was never a one year effort. It is a multi year commitment to see lives changed around the world, across our city, and throughout Central Florida.
And there is still more ahead.
Step Together This Year
We know we’re all at different places on the Journey of Generosity. But imagine what God can do if we all take a step together! How do you know what step to take? Simply ask God what he wants you to do, and do what He says.

Why We Continue
Greater is not about reaching a number.
It is about responding to a calling.
We believe God has positioned First Orlando for a greater season of influence. That influence will require continued faith and continued generosity.
Year one was a beginning.
Year two is about perseverance.
The future is about continued faithfulness.

The Journey of Generosity
Being generous is part of following Jesus. He teaches us that the way we handle our possessions indicates our surrender to Him. We want to be generous givers motivated by grace because God has been gracious to us! Our generosity journey for the next year supports ongoing ministry worldwide, here in Central Florida, and the new Horizon West campus facility. This is only possible if we all take a step together.
Through this GREATER initiative, we believe God will provide the resources to meet the needs ahead and allow us to reach more of Central Florida for Jesus.
Respond and Renew
One year ago, many in our church family stepped forward in faith through Greater. Because you responded, real ministry impact is already unfolding. As we continue this journey, we invite you to take your next step. If you are new or have not yet made a commitment, now is the time to respond. If you made a commitment last year, we invite you to renew it and continue faithfully as God leads. Greater is still moving forward, and your yes still matters.
