Middle School Ministry
Ministry Goals
To Evangelize: using every means so that middle school students come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and would endeavor to follow Him all the days of their lives.
To Equip: systematically teaching the Bible so that it helps shape their worldview.
To Engage: provide opportunities and challenge students to get involved in service to bless others.
To Encourage: provide an environment for students to grow in Christian friendship.
Middle School Ministry will carry through on The Orchard’s mission strategy by helping students dig deep roots into the Word of Christ, find life in Jesus Christ and share that life together, and seek to bear the fruit of the Spirit of Christ in service both inside and outside the church.

Inclement Weather Notice
With the possibility of inclement weather over the winter months, we encourage parents to consider the safety of your family based on the weather conditions in your area. If we determine that Herd or Powerhouse will be cancelled, we will post a notice by 3 pm on this middle school webpage and on The Orchard Bulletin Board section of the homepage.
The Parent Blog is NOW AVAILABLE!
