Our Mission

Love God, Love People, Live God's Message.

How it started...

How it started...

In September of 2008, Orchard Christian Fellowship began with a group of people eager to follow Jesus. We did it without having a permanent building. It was a leap of faith and a new chapter in the story of the Gospel in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Our purpose is to Love God, Love People and Live God's Message. Practically, that means that we help one another grow in faith, encourage acts of service inside and outside the fellowship, and share our faith with those people who are uncertain regarding what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We think this purpose is one of the reasons why our fellowship has so many members active in ministries that serve families in need, children in foster care, single moms, the elderly, and our neighbors in our communities. Our fellowship knows that faith doesn't end with Sunday morning worship. It's a way of life you live every day. 

In 2012, we began developing our facilities and property. We began with a large multi-purpose space dedicated to the worship of Jesus and its regular use by many groups within our community.

Our pastor is Rev. Ken Glasier. His preaching style combines subtlety and reflection with humor and candor. His sermons are not "pie in the sky" lectures but, instead, they're messages that speak to people in their everyday lives with all of life's conflicts, confusions, hopes, and surprises. Ken has served in a variety of roles during his career in ministry including associate and senior pastorates. Additionally, he has worked in hurricane restoration, missionary work with medical clinics, and construction projects. He has also ministered in Mississippi as well as the countries of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, India, Macedonia and Bangladesh. Ken is a graduate of Denver Seminary and of Regent University. 

In 2023, The Orchard opened up additional space for our Children’s Ministry, a preschool called Orchard Kids, additional meeting spaces and offices.  We are also actively pursuing being a “church of small groups”. This means that The Orchard is growing bigger and smaller at the same time with smaller groups called ROOTs Communities connecting people together as we Love God, Love People and Live God’s Message. Community awaits you at The Orchard!

Our Beliefs

All Scripture is self-attesting, and being Truth requires our unreserved submission in all areas of life. The infallible Word of God-the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments -is a complete and unified witness to God's redemptive acts culminating in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority on all matters on which it speaks. On this sure foundation, we affirm these additional essentials of our faith.

We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory, and praise forever!

Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Mediator

The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior, indwelling our hearts. He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.

Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God’s free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.

The true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible yet imperfect expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity, where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting she awaits the return of her Lord.

Jesus Christ will come again to the earth personally, visibly, and bodily—to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).

The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the  world and to make disciples of all nations. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.” He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).
