Joining a church is not required to become a Christian, but it helps you grow in your faith and fosters a sense of community with other believers. At the Church of God by Faith of Orlando, members are expected to trust Jesus as Savior, be baptized by immersion, and actively participate in church life through worship, service, and tithing. The church is guided by Jesus as its head, with the Bible as the authority, and decisions are made collectively through prayer and the congregation's vote.
