IN ORCHARD STUDENTS, WE EXIST TO CONNECT STUDENTS TO LIVE THE LIFE OF A JESUS FOLLOWER!

Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with Jesus which results in radical life change. Following Jesus is the heart of Christianity. As we study Jesus in the New Testament, we find that his life was all about relationships. First, His relationship with the Father, second, His relationship with his disciples, and third, His relationship with the people who didn’t know God at all. So what does the life of a Jesus follower look like? The same as the life of Jesus: relationships. Our ministry is all about teaching these 3 relationships which we call Abide, Connect and Share.

We believe there are 4 strategic ways that students and myself can choose to invest our time that grows all three of these relationships. In short, we call this our God Time, Gather Time, Group Time and Go Time. As we invest our time in these ways, we believe students will grow deeper int their walk with God, grow in community, and engage in God’s global mission in greater ways.

Our goal in OSM is to provide an open atmosphere where students can know that they matter. Where students can be honest, open, heard, accepted, and equipped to live THE LIFE OF A JESUS FOLLOWER.
