What are small groups?

Orchard Hill Church's small groups consist of groups of 8-12 adults that meet regularly for the purpose of building friendships and growing together as followers of Christ.

One thing Orchard values is “Connection.” Orchard Hill inspires to have a spiritual environment in which people feel connected to one another and to God. Small groups are a great environment for building relationships and encouraging one another in our faith. Small groups exist to help connect people to people, people to service, people to the church, and people to God.

Most adult small groups meet twice a month for 1-2 hours. Groups usually consist of people who are in a similar life-stage as you. (ie. Newly married, empty nesters, kids in elementary) Your group will spend the first few weeks getting to know each other, and then will talk about what you might like to study together. Some groups choose to read a book by a Christian author, some choose to do a study on a certain topic, some choose to study a book of the Bible. Your leader will help guide your group and provide direction. Some groups meet here at the church, while some choose to meet in each other’s homes.

Getting Started!

It’s easy to get involved in a small group! You may indicate that you are interested in a group on the Connection Card in your bulletin each week, call the church, or get in touch with Doug Tensen. Once we have received your information, our team will work hard to get you plugged in a soon as possible. Sometimes this process moves quickly, and sometimes it may take us a few months. We’ll keep in touch with you along the way and let you know as soon as we have a leader in place and your group is ready to go! We’re looking forward to getting you connected!
