What to Expect

The Orchard is a place to grow. If you do not yet believe, but you are open to explore, come and join us. We want to help you find faith, hope and love through the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you do believe in Jesus, The Orchard is a place where you can mature and bear fruit for the glory of His name. We are excited to meet you, dig deep roots into God's Word with you, and share the life we have in Christ together.
