WHY IT MATTERS TO US
We think it's very important for us to be transparent in reporting our financials. Even more important to us is showing you how your generous giving is making an impact for the Kingdom.
LATEST IMPACT REPORTS
We'll keep you updated quarterly with how we're doing at what we do. Our reports aren't just about the numbers, they're full of stories, photos and videos. We love to share what's happening through our ministries, outreach events, and serving our community. Here's a quick overview, but you can dive deeper on the individual quarterly impact report pages for more details.

For the start of 2025, we "Scaled Up" together! Results are in with 270 Partners, 291 in LifeGroups, 234 on serve teams, 51 attending one of our two classes (Making Sense of Salvation and Financial Peace University), and 141 total pledges towards our building fund.

It was a beautiful day for Easter at River Park with over 700 in attendance, 5 salvations and 12,000 eggs shot from 4 egg cannons.

Despite everyone's summer plans, our ministries did not slow down at The Orchard Church. Our youth returned from a week of Generate Camp just as the quarter began. We wrapped up Seamless Summer Program in July with the delivery of backpacks to the same children we'd been feeding all summer long. The staff split up to go feed teachers at both Clear Creek Middle School and Gilmer High School just days before kids started back up at school. Plus our youth's, women's and men's ministries all kicked-off August with events, and our Safety team held their first Safety Fair!

The 2nd quarter started off with a quick change of plans for our Easter celebration. We had planned on having it at River Park, but God had other plans. Rain brought us indoors with over 715 in attendance across 3 services. We gave out 150 books and 200 bags of candy at Literacy Night. 20 moms enjoyed muffins with their kids for Mother's Day at our Muffins with Mom Sunday morning event.

During all of this, we planned, trained, decluttered and began packing for our move.
