WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU VISIT

Friendly People

On Sundays, you'll be greeted by our First Impressions team before you even enter the building! They are the ones with the purple t-shirts. Stop by their table at the front door and say hi!

Casual Atmosphere

You matter to God and you matter to us. But what you're wearing just doesn't. Come in jeans, or shorts, or whatever is comfortable, and sit wherever you’d like! We won’t ask you to stand up or say anything, and we never expect guests to contribute anything financially.

Fun & Safe for Kids

Kids love our KidZone on Sunday mornings! Bring your kids to our check-in station. Our safety team monitors the halls and outside property during services. Babies and toddlers are cared for by loving volunteers. We have age-appropriate lessons for children ages 2 years–grade 5 during our 9am and 11am Sunday morning services.

Engaging Sunday Morning Experience

We believe the Bible should be applied to our everyday lives, so our goal is to teach how to live the Bible—not just know what it says. Our music is current, lively, and includes guitars, keyboards, and drums. We project the song lyrics so that you can sing along and engage God through the music. All in all, we'll spend about 75 minutes together.

Peace of Mind

All of our children and student ministry volunteers must pass a state and federal background check, as well as go through a multi-step interview process. Plus, our safety team has a presence at all of our on campus and off campus events and services.

SHOULD I PLAN MY VISIT?

We'd love to meet up with you on the day you visit our church. If you'd like a personalized first-time guest experience, plan your visit with us! If you have young children, we can walk with you through the check-in process for our Kids Zone Children's Ministry and answer any questions you have. We'll even arrange an introduction to our Youth Pastor for families with teens. For those who have special seating requirements, we'll reserve and escort you to your seats. Whether you plan a visit or not, we hope you'll stop by our First Time Guest table out front to receive a special gift we have for you.

HOW TO GET HERE

EASY TO FIND

We are a short hop off HWY 515, just east of the WalMart and Movie Theater in Ellijay.

"Coming to The Orchard a couple of years ago has been one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving to Ellijay! This church has been so welcoming, and I’ve met so many amazing people I can now call friends. There are countless opportunities to serve and connect with others, and the FREE classes are such a wonderful way to grow deeper in my faith and get to know the Lord better. Pastor Steve is authentic, relatable and shares the gospel every week. He is always willing to answer questions you may have. The worship team and staff are amazing!! I already love this place, but I believe our new church home opening in 2026 will be even more special to our community!"
