Welcome to The Orchard Evangelical Free Church!
The mission of The Orchard is to glorify God by multiplying God-centered, Christ-exalting, world-transforming believers through the gospel in the greater Chicago area and around the world.
Please stop by our Welcome Center located in the foyer outside of the sanctuary where we can greet you in person and answer any questions you may have. Also, visit The Orchard Café in the Social Room (lower level) from 8:15–10:30 am for coffee and treats.

What types of worship services do you offer?
At the Arlington Heights Campus, we have four services, including two that offer a classic style of worship and two that offer a contemporary style of worship. Each of the services includes the same teaching from our Senior Pastor. See more information about our service times and locations.
Where should I park?
We have several parking spots set aside specifically for our first-time guests. Signs mark parking spots along the north driveway (enter from Belmont Avenue) and in the west parking lot (on Belmont Avenue) near the building. Parking is also available in the main lot on Douglas Avenue, in the parking lots for Olive-Mary Stitt Elementary School and Thomas Middle School, as well as street parking around the church. Make sure to check the street signs, as parking is usually limited to one side of the street.
What Sunday morning programs do you offer for children and youth?
Classrooms are available for children birth through four-years-old during the 8:45 am service. For the 10:30 am service, classes are available for birth through high school. See more information about programs for programs for children, middle school, and high school students.
What Sunday morning programs do you offer for adults?
Newcomers are encouraged to visit LIFE Connections, which meets at 8:45 or 10:30 am in the Parlor. At 8:45 am, discussion is based on brief teaching at the beginning, while at 10:30 am, discussion is related to that day's sermon text. We offer a few other adult electives on Sunday mornings. See the complete list of electives for more information.
How can I get involved at The Orchard?
The best way to get connected at The Orchard is by joining a LIFE Group or participating in LIFE Connections. See the Get Connected page for more information. Stop by the Welcome Center and meet someone from the Welcome Team. Also, make sure to fill out the Connection Card during the service so we know you were here. We'd love to share more information with you about The Orchard.
What else do I need to know?
We would love to have you join us for a Newcomers Reception. Stop by for light refreshments after either the 8:45 am and 10:30 am service. Several of the pastors and staff will be in attendance to get to know you, share more about who we are, and answer any questions you might have. Watch the worship folder and listen to the announcements during the service to find out when our next Newcomers Reception will be held.
