What to Expect

What to Expect

We believe that worshiping the Living God ought to be an authentic experience and so when you arrive at The Orchard you'll find us to be fairly casual in our appearance and contemporary in our style. Despite that however, we take our calling to be followers of Jesus Christ very seriously.

As you come in you can expect to find a member of our Welcome Team to greet you and to help you find your way around and get your kids registered for one of our children's ministry classes.

You'll then have the opportunity to grab some coffee and a snack before making your way way to some seats in our sanctuary.

We usually kick off our Sunday worship service with some upbeat and uplifting music and you'll get to know one of our members as they introduce some of the exciting events and activities that are coming up. We encourage everyone who attends The Orchard, whether regulars or visitors to take a few minutes to fill out a communication card which we make available. This card simply lets us know who you are and how we can best be of service to you.

Then we will worship God in song for 15 minutes or so during which we invite you to participate as the words are projected onto a big screen. During the last song before the sermon, the children will be dismissed to go to their classrooms in our Family Ministry Center. Then we will go straight into a time of relevant teaching right from the Bible.

Toward the end of the service we give our regular attenders the opportunity to give in support of the work of the church and its ministry throughout our local area and around the world. Then we wrap up with a final song.

You can usually expect our worship services to last between 75-80 minutes. Then afterwards you can grab something else to drink, pick up your kids from their classrooms and spend some time getting to know some of the people here.

We hope to have you join us soon.
