“Where Seeds are Planted, Nurtured, and Prepared for Harvest”

1 Peter 3:15 (CEB)

Instead, regard Christ the Lord as holy in your hearts. Whenever anyone asks you to speak of your hope, be ready to defend it.

2 Timothy 4:1-2 (CEB)

1 I’m giving you this commission in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is coming to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearance and his kingdom. 2 Preach the word. Be ready to do it whether it is convenient or inconvenient. Correct, confront, and encourage with patience and instruction.

The Orchard VA® is a 501c3 non-profit Christian faith-based paraministry whose goal is to operate outside and across denominations to engage in social welfare and evangelism. Our mission is to come alongside ministries both locally and internationally, providing support and services that individual congregations may be unable to offer independently.

Key components of our ministry include apologetics, biblical teaching, systematic theology, small group discipleship, mental health training, and fellowship activities.

Discipleship

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. Because of this, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but the only one who is anything is God who makes it grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together, but each one will receive their own reward for their own labor.”

1 Corinthians 3:6-8 CEB

Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed. -Shuller
