THREE PILLARS
Of Orchard Hill
At Orchard Hill there are three pillars that we build everything off of.
GROW
We believe when you surround yourself with people who help you GROW in life, in faith, and in relationships we find you become a better human and will find yourself having greater character. This leads you to making better decisions in life. “Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope” Romans 5:3-5ESV.
Growth leads to hope. We want to help grow a community that needs help seeing the truth. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing”
.1 Timothy 4:15 ESV Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.
EXPLORE
We believe that when you explore new territory and new ways of thinking you find amazing new treasures you never knew you could find. We help communities explore their own lives to see where they’ve never been. Maybe it’s dreams they never new where realities until they explored what was around them. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— 1 Corinthians 2:9
We find in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. You are a creation by God that needs to be examined and explored.
BELIEVE
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
Ultimately we want communities to believe in this hope of Jesus Christ. Not only can you have eternal peace when you believe, but we want you to believe in the potential that God has gifted you with. God has created you to do more than you ever could imagine
