i'm new

orchards community church is a place you can come as you are and be yourself.  After being greeted at the door, grabbing some coffee, maybe talking to a few people, you'll find a seat in our Worship Center.  We begin our services with worship with a live band (or hymns, in the Chapel service) and words are up on a screen so you can easily follow along.

After a time of worship, we have teaching from God's Word, on a topic that is designed to be understandable and interesting.   And should you have not gotten enough coffee in your system, no worries!  The sermon is full of humor, stories, and truths that relate to your life.  Get a preview from the sermons page!

Each week we take an offering to finance the functions of the church--putting money in the offering bag, however, is for those who consider OCC their church home.

what people wear
Wear whatever you're most comfortable in.  People at Orchards wear anything from their "Sunday best" to jeans and a t-shirt.  Chances are you'll find someone else wearing a similar "category" of clothes, whatever you choose to wear.

getting your coffee fix
We invite you to get some free coffee or tea when you enter the foyer.  Or, upgrade to something from Gathering Ground Espresso located in the church foyer.  You are welcome to finish your drink in the service!

what's for the kids
Kids are welcome to sit with their parents during the worship services, but most are probably happier to make some noise and hang out with others their age in the Nursery or AdventureLand.  The Information Counter attendant can help direct you to the appropriate classroom.
