WHY WE EXIST?
The Orchard is people. People just like you. We are people that God has done a heart renovation with and has taken us from ‘religion about God’ to ‘relationship with God’. That distinction has made all the difference.
We are excited. Excited to serve God and our community and share what a great God we serve. We are servants. Servants of Jesus that desire to live authentic lives with our hands outstretched to our hurting world.
The Orchard is a miracle. Truly. The way we started is miraculous. The way we have grown is miraculous. The way we have seen God transform lives, save marriages, acquire jobs and heal people’s hearts and minds is miraculous. The way God has brought together the amazingly talented and gifted people that serve at the Orchard and our community is miraculous.

Engage - Equip - Empower
Want to know why we exist? We believe God loves the people of our community and has placed the Orchard here to bless it. The mission we feel called from God to accomplish is expressed in three ways we call ‘e3’.
We Engage With Love, Equip With Truth, and Empower With Faith
Who We Are
Our purpose is to “Grow Deep” by fulfilling the Great Commandment of loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37-40).
And to “Branch Out” by fulfilling the Great Commission by making fully devoted disciples (Matthew 28:18-20).
God has called the Orchard to love and reach those locally who do not regularly attend any church, those regionally who may visit when able, and those globally who will visit us through the internet. In order to accomplish this, the Orchard will be an equipping center focused on helping every Christian develop to his or her full potential for their ministry in the Kingdom of God.
