Church Website

The Bread of Life Christian Church in Orlando is located in Florida’s tourist area of Oviedo, which is northeast of Orlando. This is the first River of Life daughter church in North America. The church officially became a daughter church in October, 1997. In 2000, the church purchased land in Oviedo to start constructing the church building and it was completed in 2003. This church is also the first River of Life daughter church to finish a church building. The church followed the River of Life vision - through praise and worship, Holy Spirit renewal, cell church, glocal transformation, they hope to enter into the lives of people, so that the Chinese people in Orlando may live a life of the faith, and truly receive and experience the rich grace of God’s salvation and blessings. The church has experienced stable growth in all areas. In 2018, they began to focus on the spiritual cultivation of the church. In cooperation with the mother church to carry out the training and planning of workers, they started the Leadership College and the missionary work in 2019. In 2022, after more than two years of the global epidemic, the ministry of the church has been protected by God and has grown further, the six cell groups are also guided by God. Children's Sunday school music worship is very popular, the number of children continues to increase, and the church is also expanding online to serve the house churches in the home country. During the 25th anniversary ceremony, nearly 200 people attended, there were no empty seats, and many people stood. Over the past 25 years, the church has continued to make breakthroughs under the leadership of God, and the flame of revival has been ignited. Looking forward to the future, the church will be committed to the unity of the church, and to enhance the lives and spirituality of the brothers and sisters through building, and the co-workers are dedicated to their responsibilities, serve enthusiastically, and the brothers and sisters are united and loving. With the hope that the church will be more in line with God’s will and continue to expand the mission given by God. May the Orlando Bread of Life Church in Orlando can bring God’s salvation and blessings to the residents of the entire Florida, and come to witness God’s deeds and God’s glory together.
