What to Expect
Walking into a new church can feel overwhelming, but at The Orchard, you’ll find a welcoming environment where you can grow in your faith and connect with others. Our services focus on worship, prayer, and biblical teaching that is relevant to everyday life. The music is Christ centered, and each message is rooted in scripture.
Families will find engaging programs for kids and students, designed to help them learn about Jesus in a meaningful and age appropriate way. We also offer
LIFE Groups, small gatherings where people study the Bible, build friendships, and encourage one another in their faith.
What We Believe
At The Orchard, we believe in one God, who created all things and is actively redeeming and restoring the world. We trust the Bible as God’s Word, fully inspired and without error, providing truth and guidance for every aspect of life. Salvation is found through faith in Jesus Christ alone. He lived a perfect, sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again so that we may have eternal life.
As a church, we are committed to growing in faith, hope, and love through
the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to follow Him wholeheartedly, live according to His teachings, and share His love with those around us.
