MVMT (pronounced “Movement”) Students exists to reach students for Christ and empower them to follow Jesus and lead others to do the same!
MVMT Students is First Orlando’s Student Ministry, designed to give Middle and High School students a place where they can connect with God and with other people–and have fun!
MVMT Student Ministry exists to help guide students toward living a life modeled after that of Jesus, but you may be asking, “What do we mean when we say ‘students’?” At First Orlando, a student is anyone in the typical age range of middle and high school (6th-12th grade). This means that we receive students from our KIDS Ministry once they finish elementary school and pass them off to our young adult ministry (The Table) once they graduate high school. We offer a diverse, fun, and safe space that allows your students the opportunity to feel heard, cared for, and genuinely loved. We connect students with groups of their peers where they can learn and grow together under the leadership of one of our adult volunteers who intentionally seek ways to uplift and support them as they grow through their middle and high school years. We want to make sure that every student that comes through our doors feels welcome and has a place to call home!

The focus of our Sunday Morning Small Group experience is to build an atmosphere of community amongst our students based around Christ-centered discussion. We meet at 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am for musical worship (10am and 11:30am only), teaching, and grade-specific discussion.
Where: Faith Hall, First Baptist Orlando (3000 S John Young Prkwy, Orlando, FL 32805)
Our Wednesday night gatherings are split between Middle and High School, with Middle School students meeting on campus for our Middle School Midweeks, and High School students meeting in different areas around Orlando in our High School Gatherings!
Middle School: Our Middle Schoolers meet on-campus from 6:30-8:30pm each Wednesday for a Midweek worship experience! Midweeks are high-energy, Spirit-led nights full of fun and Biblical equipping! Middle School Students will be meeting each week in KIDS 2-220 (KIDS 2 Building, room 220 on the second floor). This will be a space dedicated specifically to making sure our Middle School students have the best experience possible every Wednesday night!
High School: We want to be able to contextualize the content of our gatherings specifically to serve our High Schoolers since they’re beginning the transition into adulthood and growing in their spiritual/emotional maturity. That’s why each week, we’re hosting our High School-only One Nights in a space specifically curated for them! One Nights are designed to help a High School student discover their One purpose as part of One community serving One God! Join us every Wednesday night from 6:30-8:30pm on the first floor of Faith Hall for the best High School gathering in Orlando!
Combined: Every couple of months, we hold an event where both our Middle and High Schoolers come together for a night of explosive worship, teaching, and fun! We call these events Block Parties to capture the idea of our entire community of students from all over Orlando coming together to have a good time and care for one another. We announce the details for Block Parties a few weeks before they happen, so make sure to join our text and email lists to stay up to date with all things MVMT!
