Orlando is the epicenter of fun and excitement, as more than 95 attractions keep visitors coming back for more.  Imagine a mix of legendary theme parks along with awesome museums and entertainment, all in a place called “The City Beautiful”. Orlando is Florida's largest inland city, is consistently ranked as one of the top vacation destinations in the world, and is the birthplace of CHWC! Your CHWC experience will be filled with sweat, smiles, laughs and tears of joy and emotion. Because of our warm climate here in Orlando, we have a large number of retired elderly, widowed, and homeless who are all in great need. You will surely be blessed and  we hope you will come share God's love by serving with us in the south!
