Orchard Kids
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,
continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him,
strengthened in the faith as you were taught,
and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7
The Orchard Kids Mission
Partnering with families to help children dig their ROOTS down deep into God's Word, live their LIFE with Christ as their personal Savior and bear FRUIT as they grow in the wisdom and knowledge of Christ and His Word.
We do this by:
-
TEACHING God’s Word to children as the absolute truth, without error and wholly sufficient for their lives, and encouraging them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and to become part of God’s family.
-
DISCIPLING children in their relationship with Jesus Christ, leading each child to an understanding of their purpose, which is to glorify God with their lives.
-
EQUIPPING parents to teach and train their children in the truths of God’s Word every day.
Welcome to the Children’s Ministries at The Orchard
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” The Orchard Evangelical Free Church is a congregation that welcomes and values children. We take seriously our role in supporting and supplementing the biblical education and spiritual training children receive in the home.
We strive to provide a comprehensive ministry to children with year-round programs, special events, and summer programming. These elements form the basic structure through which we support the spiritual development of children from birth through fifth grade.
Our screened adult volunteers are committed to helping children...
-
come to know Jesus as Savior and grow in their walk with Him
-
develop positive relationships with adults who can serve as Christian role models
-
develop significant friendships with other children who can become their Christian peer group
-
see themselves as their Creator sees them.
On behalf of the hundreds of Orchard Kids staff, we welcome your family to this church! We trust that you have experienced this congregation as a caring, enthusiastic, dedicated group of people.
If we can be of assistance or answer any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Serving Him and you,
