Families are awesome! And messy, loving, combative, supportive, easy, complicated, painful, joyful. They are comprised of people you’ve known from birth; and the people you’ve met along your way. Since Genesis, God has used families — broken and blessed — to tell His story. Whatever your family dynamic, God has a plan for your family, too.
We believe that when everyone in a family places God in the center, the strength of that family cannot be diminished by the things of this world. The Orchard Family Life ministry encourages families to pray together, worship together, serve together, be together.

A strong church family starts at home — every day of the week. Family Life encourages and supports each parent’s discipleship responsibilities to their children.

As the church family, we want to dive deeper into God’s word and learn more about what He has done and can do through families. Weekly Grow Group Bible studies give parents resources and tools to apply God’s word to everyday family life.

Through family-centered events — at church and in the community — families have opportunities to come together and have fun.

Listen, O Israel! The lord is our God, the lord alone. And you must love the lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” Deut. 6:4-7
