New Beginnings
Everyone gets born. In the same way we were physically born, we can be spiritually born as well. Our New Beginnings Class is designed for the person who has come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior through repentance of sin and have begun a new walk with God. It is also a great class for those who have not made a commitment to God but are considering Christianity and what following Jesus means.
Everyone can start fresh. In this class we study the basic Christian doctrines of salvation and what it means to be loved by God and love Him back. New Beginnings encourages people to start new disciplines in life such as prayer, Bible study and memorization, and fellowship with other believers.
This class a wonderful start to the best part of your life so call or email to sign up for our next class!
Christianity 101
God wants us to know who He is. This 4-week class is designed to help believers or seekers learn about basic Bible doctrine as it relates to the character of God and His will for humanity. Some of what we will cover will be; God’s plan of salvation, the reason for Jesus’ life on earth, the current state of humanity, the purpose of the church, and the trustworthiness of the Bible.
God wants us to know who we are. The Bible has a lot to say about us as humans. In this class we will also learn about God’s love for us, our need of Him and His great plan for us. This class will lay the foundation for a life-long love and understanding of God.

Baptism
What is baptism? Baptism is largely misunderstood by many people in our day. The word ‘baptism’ comes from the Greek word baptidzo meaning ‘to immerse or submerge’. In the first century, the Greeks used the word to refer to the dyeing of a garment by submerging the cloth into a chosen color or the dipping of a cup into a bowl to draw out water or wine.
Why should I get baptized? Because Jesus commanded it (Matt. 28:19, 20). Jesus Himself was baptized in this manner and throughout the New Testament, baptidzo or ‘immersion baptism’, was always done by a repentant believer making a public statement of conversion (Matthew 3:11-17). Because salvation is spiritual and invisible to the eye, baptism is an outward demonstration of an inward work of God.
Baptism pictures: 1. Dying with Jesus to your sin—being submerged in the water, 2. Rising with Jesus to new life—coming up out of the water, 3. Declaring your public allegiance to Jesus—leaving the water to follow Him

Parenting
Parenting can be hard. If you already have children, are thinking about it, or are starting over raising your children’s kids, parenting can be challenging to say the least. In our day and age, it can be tough to know what do do with our kids at different life stages and how to parent them to please Jesus.
Parenting can be amazing. The Bible says that parenting is from God and that being given children to raise is a privilege that God entrusts to us. During our parenting class we will learn God’s principles about how He wants us to raise our kids and the tools the Bible gives us teach them how to honor God. We will see how to use the time of childhood through their teen years as a great opportunity for loving our kids and training them to love God!

Spiritual Coaching
Life happens. People get hurt. People get confused. People lose hope. People feel alone. Desperate. Out of control. What does God think about my situation? What does God want me to do about my marriage? How can I deal with my child? How can I please God? We all need to have answers. We want real life answers to real world problems. In a world of ‘self-help’ no one seems to be very helped.
The Orchard happens. People get healing. People get clarity. People renew hope. People discover community. They find biblical answers and God’s wisdom. They find experienced people who care about them and their situation and want them to find freedom in Christ. Our pastors and other spiritual coaches will help you find answers. Real answers. God’s answers.
