Our Mission...
Connecting People with Christ and each other.
Core Values
The values that drive 10:02 Orlando are a commitment to reveling in God’s act of reaching down to us in the gospel and responding by reaching up, in, and out.
Down | Gospel
The Gospel is the good news that God saves sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. God has reached down to us. Jesus has done what we never could. This gospel is the power of God to save sinners and transform neighborhoods and nations (Rom. 1:16). The Gospel isn’t just the ABC’s of following Jesus. It is of first importance in all we do as a church (1 Cor. 15:1-4).
Up | Spiritual Formation
The Gospel is such wonderful news that we can’t help but respond in faith, repentance, and worship. This means we look to Jesus for everything in our lives and our church. We trust Him with every aspect of our lives. We also respond with repentance - real change that comes from loving Jesus more than anything. We respond to God with worship, both in our lives and gatherings. We celebrate God’s presence, welcome His Spirit, and preach His Word in response to all He has done for us.
In | Community
The Church is not a place but a people. It’s more than a weekly assembly of individuals, but a humble, joyful community committed to loving each other and doing life together. The primary expression of community in our church will be City Groups, where we connect to, respond to, and share the Gospel. We will not settle for only being a weekly service for people to attend, but will continually invite people to share their lives with others as “a people for God’s own possession,” (1 Pet. 2:9).
Out | Mission
The Church is God’s missionary agency to reach the unreached with the Gospel. Missions is not just one ministry within the church, but the overriding orientation of our church. The same gospel that transforms us internally also compels us outward on mission. We exist as a church to be “a city on a hill” and “the light of the world” (Matt. 5:14). We do this by orienting each of our City Groups around a shared mission - seeking to love, serve, and make disciples throughout Orlando and beyond.
Church Rhythms
We gather on Sundays and scatter into City Groups throughout the week.
Gather | Sundays
We gather on Sundays for singing, preaching, sacraments, and stories. Just as Christians have been doing for 2,000 years, 10:02 Orlando will gather on Sundays to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, delight in His Word, and worship Him together. These gatherings will serve the broader mission of multiplying disciples and churches, and we dream of these gatherings equipping disciples of Jesus to scatter into City Groups and eventually multiply churches.
Scatter | City Groups
We scatter throughout the week into City Groups. City Groups are at the heart of 10:02 Orlando. Multiplying City Groups is our goal. They are not an optional program or a seasonal Bible study. We desire that everyone would participate in a City Group. They are the best way to connect to new friends and have community.
What are City Groups?
City Groups are mid-sized groups of people scattered throughout the city on mission, being transformed by the Gospel, connecting as a family, in order to reach a specific neighborhood or network in the city. In short, City Groups are about Transformation, Community, and Mission.
