Pastors and Staff

I am passionate about seeing people healed by Jesus within a life-giving community and seeing the world put back together by His love. I have an amazing wife, Audrey who puts up with my jokes, and three kids— our daughters, Della and Amelia, and our son, Asher. I am a huge UGA fan,  love Disney and Crossfit, and have an inordinate loyalty to Bic pens. 

Hi! I’m Bryan. I’m a big Alabama Crimson Tide football fan, love my Atlanta United soccer, and definitely won’t miss a chance to talk about my 4 younger siblings. My own experiences as a student within my youth and college campus ministries stirred up what I can only describe as God’s calling for me to be a part of His work, with a clear passion for student-focused ministries. I love to talk about this wild journey God has put me on, and I look forward to welcoming you to the Orchard family and guiding your student(s) to a loving and devoted relationship with Jesus that I can’t imagine living without.

Hi, I'm Christina. My family and I have called The Orchard Church home since 2011. I am a firm believer that Jesus loves children of all ages, energy levels, and abilities. That's why as the Director of Children’s Ministry, I have made it my goal to spread that love the next generation. When I'm not at church, you can find me hanging out with my awesome family, jamming to music, or chilling by the water. Speaking of family, I've got an amazing husband named David, and we're blessed with three wonderful sons: Jonah, Jacob, and Gabriel.

Hey everyone! My name is Adam Ralston and I get to be the part-time Worship Director here at The Orchard. God blessed me with a talent and passion for music and has called me to share that passion with as many as I can for His glory.  

Hi! I’m Nick Nixon and I get to be the Connections Coordinator here at The Orchard.  That means I get to meet you, to welcome you, and help you feel comfortable here.  Whether it’s your first, second, or tenth time attending here, I want to make sure that you feel the love of God and of your Orchard family.  

Hi! My name is Michele and I am thankful to work alongside this incredibly gifted and talented team to serve God and His people. I have served in ministry over twenty years and have enjoyed watching God grow and use me in unexpected ways.
