I would like to visit. When is the best time for a first time guest to show up?
You are welcome to join us at any time on Sunday. Most first time guests show up at around 10:30, and they are able to participate in worship, communion, and the message. A few guests have joined us as early as 9:30 for the prayer time (the prayer time is much more informal and participatory).

Worship & Holy Communion
What should I expect to hear in the Sunday messages by the Pastors?
The messages on Sunday are always biblically based. We speak genuinely about spiritual issues and insights from the Scriptures. The message style is contemporary to help people applying God's word to their daily lives in Northern Virginia and Washington DC. Of course, the guidance from these messages is intended to help Christians live out their faith throughout the week (not just on Sunday), to participate with other Christians, strengthen their family, and to serve others who may not be Christians.

Luncheon
Why do you have a luncheon on Sunday?
The Orchard is a Christian community that isn't merely producing a Sunday event for spectators, but sees from Scripture that God's design for our spiritual development is highly relational. As such, The Orchard is a place where Christian relationships are strong, and we promote regular opportunities for the community to build relationships such as weekly luncheons and semi-annual weekend retreats.
One feature of our Sunday luncheons is our Pastor's Table, which is an opportunity for adults to dialog about the Sunday message with the pastor and others.

Groups
We recognize the tremendous spiritual benefit of regularly being around other Christians in order to explore God's values and orient our lives toward those values. Thus, Christians
of The Orchard meet in groups (monthly, weekly) for dialog, inspiration, encouragement, exploration, and prayer.
Retreats
The Orchard holds frequent weekend retreats to deepen our spiritual relationship with our Lord and to build stronger relationships with one another.- for men, women, couples, parents, singles, etc. Typically these retreats are away from the busyness of the Washington area (for example, the Shenendoah Mountains to the West or Southern Maryland).
