The Orchard exists to “Grow New and Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus” by creating environments that help people catalyze faith through bible study, discussion, and relationship with other believers.
We believe that every follower of Jesus can become fully devoted. In fact, we believe it is perfectly normal for every follower to grow stronger in faith over a lifetime of practice. There are no super-Christians who are predisposed to high levels of faithfulness and spiritual maturity. There are just normal, average, everyday people who respond to a loving creator God by seeking to live a life that is bigger than simply fulfilling their own wants and needs. We invite you to grow intentionally stronger in your walk with Jesus through the many groups that make up the ministries of The Orchard.
Grow Groups help you grow deep to understand God’s character, and experience life with others just like you. Are you ready to grow deeper in your journey of faith? Want to discuss the Bible with other followers of Jesus? Are you ready to meet a few new friends? Are you ready to take the next step spiritually?
