About Us
Where we were and where we're going.
Vision Orlando is a faith based organization that started 30 years ago by a group of people eager to see faith, business and government leaders come together in a collaborative effort to see central Florida transformed by God.
Vision Orlando prepares to continue to serve as a resource with a broad reach towards churches, government, educators, the marketplace and communities all over central Florida. Together transforming Orlando into a city for God.
Our Mission
Connect Leaders in Churches, Government, and Marketplace to a common goal of building relationships that can serve to change our city in a cohesive effort.
Unify Churches in Central Florida to collaborate and cross over denominational lines for the greater good of our city. Prayer, Evangelism and Community events will invigorate communities all over Orlando when we can agree about one name, Jesus Christ.
Mobilize people in different sectors of our city to partner and serve causes that will transform communities desperate for the hope of Jesus.
