What We Believe
At The Orchard, everything we do is built on the truth of God’s Word. We believe in one God who created all things and calls us into a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Salvation is a gift of grace, given through faith in Jesus alone. His life, death, and resurrection provide the only way for us to be forgiven and restored to God.
Our desire is to grow in faith, hope, and love as we follow Jesus and live according to His Word. If you would like to learn more about our core beliefs, visit our
What We Believe page.
