Career Seekers
The Career Seekers ministry provides resources - including networking meetings, accountability teams, resume reviews, job search seminars, etc. - that can assist in the hard work of finding employment. If you'd like to speak with someone from The Orchard who is knowledgeable in this area, contact Barry Scott to arrange a time to meet. (Barry is a working seasoned management professional, who has experienced extended unemployment, and can provide support, leadership, and resources.)
For additional support, we encourage you to get involved with a LIFE Group or LIFE Connections and/or contact your Campus Pastor. If you are a regular attendee of The Orchard who is in need of financial assistance, contact your Campus Pastor about receiving assistance from the benevolent fund. This fund exists so that the body of Christ can minister to each member of the body. We are blessed to be at a church whose members give so much in response to all that God in Christ has given them.
