Not Alone is a Christ Centered Trauma Informed Ministry Founded by Orchard Church in 2016

Not Alone understands the gravity of Trauma, Wounding, Abuse, Chronic Illnesses, Caregiver Fatigue, Grief, Divorce, and how much it impacts people's lives.
Here at Not Alone we recognize the needs of those who are wounded deeply and those who are experiencing emotional and physical pain.
Christ has called upon us as we received a gift to serve one another and to be Good Stewards of his Sheep and so we are honored and blessed in serving you.
We have created a unique confidential space, so that the Orchard family can humbly walk alongside you in your journey as you continue to work through the Trials and Tribulations of life.


WHAT TO EXPECT EACH WEEK

The Suffering Hearts of Christ connect through praying together, breaking bread together, worshiping together, and fellowshipping together. We understand how much courage it takes to walk through the “Not Alone” doors and Jesus says:

“I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me”.  - Revelation 3:20


FELLOWSHIP

We strive to share biblical insights, and practical life tips, so that you can be more knowledgeable in daily life. Reinforcing Faith values motivates us to be Bold in our Faith walk as we embrace our “New Normal”.


Group Share

During group share we discuss navigating through life challenges and how to manage the stress that has impacted our lives. We implement a 80/20 rule, which is 80% listening and 20% talking. Holding space and being present for you matters to us at “Not Alone”.


Our Covenant Promise

As a reflection of Christ, we practice a loving and compassionate approach in supporting your needs. Our desire is to encourage you, validate you, and to support you as you unpack your Life Challenges, address your Chronic Pain, and Trauma Wounding. We take your privacy seriously, so count on us to maintain confidentiality in a non-judgmental way, as we lovingly meet you wherever you are that day. We humbly offer to be a source of Comfort, Peace and Hope as Ambassadors for Christ.


No Stone goes unturned

At times we recognise that some of our participants may be Victims of Abuse and may need to go to court for protective order etc. When permitted, our Advocates volunteer their personal time to sit with you in court, so that you are Not Alone.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”  - Psalm 34:18

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9


Is there a purpose in our pain?

Everyone that serves in our ministry has come from a place of wounding and relates to the sufferings of Christ. While some of us continue to endure the thorns in our flesh, we have been fully restored in our faith and this is where God has called us.
“Every awful thing that has or is happening to you will be turned around for God's Glory. Not Alone wants to encourage you and minister to you as you face adversity in your trials.”
