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.
Kid's Ministry - Live With Purpose
Jenny Beyl, Michelle Burns
Our prayer in Orchard Kids is that by the time a child leaves preschool and elementary, they understand that the Bible is true. We hope for them to know about God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Spirit who lives within us when we "give our hearts to Jesus". We share with them that God created all the world and all people in it beautifully in His image. But, we are also all sinners and only Jesus can take away our sin. And one day, He will come back for His children.
