About Church of the Sower

Church of the Sower is a dynamic church located in Orlando, FL. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. Our mission is very simple: to love people where they are and help them get to God wants them to be.

FAITH

We invite you to come check us out this Sunday at our celebration services. We know that going to a new church can be confusing and intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. 

FAMILY

Our pastors provide sound, practical, and biblical teaching at each service. They are equipped to share God's love with our local community. Church of the Sower is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will.

Our Beliefs

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant.

(II Timonthy 3:14, II Peter 1:20-21, Proverbs 30:5, Romans 16:25-26)

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Trinity - These three are coequal and co-eternal.

(1 John 5:7, Genesis 1:26, Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19, Luke 1:35, Isaiah 9:6, Hebrews 3:7-11)

the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.  

(John 1:1,14, 20:28, I Timothy 3:16, Isaiah 9:6, Philippians 2:5-6, I Timothy 2:5)

Virgin Birth:

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the Virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God.  

(Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:35, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18, 23-25, Luke 1:27-35)

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression, he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

(Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7, Romans 5:12-21)

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

(Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 2:16, 3:8, Titus 3:5, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 16:31, Hebrews 9:22)

Is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance, we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.

(Acts 2:21, 3:19, I John 1:9)


Is the ongoing process of yielding to God's Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

(I Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23, II Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, II Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, Hebrews 2:11)

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death.

(I John 1:7, Revelation 1:5, 5:9, Colossians 1:20, Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9, John 1:29)

Jesus Christ Indwells All Believers by His Holy Spirit:

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit - the third person of the Trinity. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead.

(John 1:12, John 14:17, 23, John 15:4, Romans 8:11, Revelation 3:20)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit:  

Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the Church to preach the Gospel through the whole earth 

(Joel 2:28-29, Matthew 3:11, Mark 16:17, Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6) 

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit:  

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of biblical parameters 

(Hebrews 2:4, Romans 1:11, 12:4-8, Ephesians 4:16, II Timothy 1:5-16, 4:14, I Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40, I Peter 4:10)

Is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.  

(Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23, John 17:11, 20-23) 

Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38)

A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross  

(Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 16:16, Acts 8:12, 36-38, 10:47-48, I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25)

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign, which is to follow believers. It is also a part of Jesus' work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit.  

(Psalm 103:2-3, Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 16:17-18, Acts 8:6-7, James 5:14-16, I Corinthians 12:9, 28, Romans 11:29)

It is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy, and successful in all areas of life. Believers should seek the full benefits of Christ's provision in order to better serve others.  

Spiritual: 

(John 3:3-11, II Corinthians 5:17-21, Romans 10:9-10) 

Mental and Emotional:  

(II Timothy 1:7, 2:11, Philippians 4:7-8, Romans 12:2, Isaiah 26:3)

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation 

(Luke 24:16, 36, 39, John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4, Acts 24:15, I Corinthians 15:42, 44, Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21)

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34, John 17:24, II Corinthians 5:1, Hebrews 11:16, I Peter 1:4)

After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels.

(Matthew 25:41, Mark 9:43-48, Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8)

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.

(Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64, Acts 1:9-11, I Thessalonians 4:15-17, II Thessalonians 1:7-8, Revelation 1:7)

Our Story
Our Story

Church of the Sower  

Jorge Figueroa dreamed of planting a church in the Orlando area. The goal was simple… help people connect with God so that they may know Him, and in turn lead others to do the same. With his wife, Florence, they began to fulfill the vision God had placed in their hearts. 

  Plans for Church of the Sower began in their home on August 2nd, 2010. Over the weeks & months that followed the home church grew as individuals partnered with the Pastors and committed to the dream. After four months, the home church outgrew the location, and Church of the Sower secured a new larger space to accommodate the new arrivals. Church of the Sower was temporarily relocated to a local church in the Conway area of Orlando. Within a few months, COTS began the process of construction and remodeling our present location. 

With the help of the Envision Team, 22 people committed to the vision, Church of the Sower launched its first service on December 11, 2011, at their newly renovated campus at 6901 TPC Drive #450 in Orlando, Florida.
