Christian Church of Orlando was born in April 2006 when Pastor Roberto Boselli (founder) and his family start to get together in the Orlando area. After one year, as the Church grew, God gave them an opportunity to buy a building in the same area so that they would have a permanent home in which to meet. Since then, God has been guiding us to form a group of people committed to living meaningful lives with Jesus Christ.
In the year 2010, Pastor Roberto Boselli and the Leadership team started to identify with the Historic Reformed stream of faith. The more they studied the Bible, Theology, and Church History the more they understood about Justification by Faith Alone - The sole ground of our justification is the merit of Jesus Christ alone. On the year of 2013, the church's name was changed to "Reformed Christian Church of Orlando”.
Reformed Theology is God-Centered and the structure of the biblical Covenant of Grace is the framework for this theology. We believe Reformed doctrine is historic Christianity in its emphasis on the sovereignty of God and the trustworthiness of the Bible. As a Church, we strongly affirm the unique, infallible, and inerrant authority of the Bible and the distinctive doctrines of the Westminster Standards and Reformed tradition. Among them are the 5 “Solas” of the Reformation and the doctrines of grace.
In June 2017, God started another move in our lives as we were introduced to the Bible Presbyterian Church - BPC Denomination. For three years we enjoyed the fellowship of the BPC and although we are no longer part of the Presbytery in order to remain committed to the Reformed tradition without the influence of denominational governance, we cultivate a fraternal relationship with the Florida leadership.
In 2023, in line with the maturation of our theological convictions and to strengthen this commitment, we further emphasize our dedication to heeding the biblical call for church unity, as highlighted in John 17:21: "That they may all be one, as you O Father, you are one in me, and I in you; may they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me." This process culminated in our resolute decision to change the name of the church to “Presbyterian Church in Winter Garden.”
In March 2024, Pastor Roberto Boselli passed the baton to Elder Celso Berwanger who, after his ministerial ordination, assumed the role of Senior Pastor. Pastor Boselli, as an Emeritus Pastor, is dedicating his life to the missionary vision in the two countries with which we have partnered for over a decade; Türkiye and Nepal. Traveling to these places to minister the Word of God to local Churches, as well as strengthening the established leadership.
Our mission is to glorify God and let His name be known by anyone willing to find life in Jesus and our vision stresses reformation and revival both within the Church and throughout the world. We seek our deepest delight in Jesus Christ and acknowledge that we can do nothing apart from him.
We have been privileged to see many families joining together as one body and family drawn “...from every nation, from all tribes, and peoples and languages.” Rev. 7:9
We give all glory and honor to God for his continued blessing on this local congregation of his kingdom.
Soli Deo Gloria
