For many of us, simply walking into a church for the first time can be an intimidating experience. Add to that 2,000 people you have never met and the experience can be down right overwhelming.

Here at The Orchard we seek to create an environment where every person, regardless of spiritual background, feels valued and welcomed. One way we try to accomplish this is by encouraging people to be in relationship with others. At the same time, we recognize that it is a challenge for people to make deep personal connections when so many people are gathered together on a Sunday morning. Therefore, from the very beginning The Orchard has emphasized the importance of small groups because we believe this is where "life-change" happens best.
