What We Believe

At The Orchard, The Bible is central to all of what we believe and preach at The Orchard—it's the timeless authority of God's Word. It stands as the ultimate authority in which all human understanding and pursuit is measured. At The Orchard, we place our trust in the teachings of the Bible, rely on its promises, and remain steadfast in the enduring hope that His Word is everlasting.


We wholeheartedly embrace the Scriptures as the primary source of direction to navigate life and connection with God. 


All are invited to join in exploring the Bible with us!
