Events at Orchard Hill

Special Events offer a time of community with others while enjoying a common experience. Whether a one-day event just for fun or a conference that includes an aspect of spiritual growth, Adult Ministry creates opportunities to connect with others. There is something for everyone, whether you are looking for an event that's open to everyone or something designed specifically for men or for women, there are ways for everyone to enjoy good times in good company.

Discovering Orchard Hill

Discovering Orchard Hill is designed for anyone who wants to learn more about
their own spiritual path while discovering how Orchard Hill can be a part of the
journey. Examine your own understanding of God while learning more about who
we are, how we got here and what we believe.

           This is a great opportunity to get connected with others as we 
           gather in small groups sessions led by Sr. Pastor Kurt Bjorklund and 
           other members of the Orchard Hill Leadership Team. Classes are 
           pre-requisite for anyone who wants to become a Member of
