MISSIONS

Orchard Christian Fellowship is a mission-minded church with a heart for the people of our world. Our church members pray for people around the world and in our local communities. Members are sent by The Orchard on short term mission opportunities.   We also provide monetary support to the organizations listed below.

Our focus contains both evangelistic as well as compassionate components. Evangelism is to share the good news of the hope and love of Christ. Compassion is to share our resources with those in need.

“And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:18-20

“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?” – 1 John 3:17


Our funds go to missions both in distant lands as well as the local community. We have endeavored to support ministries that have a direct connection with members of Orchard Christian Fellowship.
