The Orchard Newsletters

An orchard is a collection of individual trees, each rooted in the same soil, growing together to bear fruit. Similarly, at The Orchard, we are connected to one another through our shared faith, drawing strength and nourishment from the only eternal life source, Jesus Christ. Psalm 90:1 says, “The Lord is our dwelling place in all generations.” Whether local or global, through time and space, we are eternally rooted and united in Christ. Read the full newsletter here >
