Groups at Orchard

According to the church, joining a life group is a great way to find a community. Life groups meet at homes or various locations once a week or every other week.

Life groups gather to pray for one another, study the Bible together, and know more about each other in a different setting.

According to the church, these groups are more than a group for Bible study. It is where community happens, and supportive friends are found.

Ladies Soup and Study is a meeting to share a meal, encourage one another, and continue growth in the Christian faith.

Wednesday Small Group meets on Wednesday night. The group discusses and unfolds the topic from the previous Sunday’s sermon. The group loves meeting new people and has people from different age groups.
