Treehouse

At The Orchard our desire is to come alongside families as parents lead their children spiritually. We do not seek to replace this important role of parents, but rather seek to encourage, educate and equip them. No one has more influence in a child's life than his or her parents, and it is to them that God has given the primary responsibility and privilege of investing spiritual truths into their child's life.

Sunday Morning Treehouse

On Sunday mornings the Treehouse meets for children 3 years old through 8th grade. Children begin their Sunday mornings worshiping together as a family in the sanctuary, and then are dismissed to their classrooms. Here, our devoted teachers lead age appropriate, biblically based lessons through various activities, such as songs and crafts.

We have 5 classrooms at The Orchard. Nursery (birth up to 3 yrs old), PreK-K (3yrs old thru Kindergarten), 1st-3rd grade, and 4th-5th grade and Jr High. Children aged 6th- 8th grade are currently staying in the sanctuary for the entire service on the first two Sundays of the month. This gives the Jr High youth a chance to serve the body as well as the opportunity to listen to the sermon. The last two Sundays of the month the Jr. High class will meet.
