What We Believe
At The Orchard, we believe in one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who created all things and continues to redeem and restore the world. The Bible is God’s Word, fully inspired and without error, providing truth and direction for our lives. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again to give us eternal life.
Our church is committed to growing in faith, hope, and love through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to follow Him wholeheartedly, live out His teachings, and share His love. If you are exploring faith or looking for a church home, we invite you to be part of The Orchard and experience the joy of knowing and following Jesus.
