Why Orlando?
"And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
- Luke 10:02 -
We feel a unique calling to be a multigenerational church that loves the Campus and the City. The college campus is the most unreached demographic in America. 10:02 Orlando doesn’t just love the city or the campus; we love them both. “Reach the campus, reach the world”. We believe that the university campus is one of the most strategic places for gospel ministry.
