Our Identity
The Orchard Bible Fellowship is a body of people from all ages and backgrounds. We are joined together through God’s grace and love. As a fellowship of believers, we are committed to the Bible as the word of God for our instruction, and to discipleship as His command for our lives. We are EVANGELICAL in that we believe in the Bible as God’s inerrant word to us. We are FREE in that we are independent of any authority outside of the local body of believers and the Word of God. We depend upon the active participation of pastors and lay people in the decisions and direction of the local church.
Our Purpose
We exist to glorify God by knowing Christ, growing in Christ with each other, and showing Christ to the world, as we build followers of Christ and equip them for service.

The Message
Recognize your condition:

Believe Christ died for you:
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrated His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us."
Trust Christ alone as your savior:
Romans 6:23 "But the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Our Denomination
The Evangelical Free church of America is more than a denomination it is an association of autonomous churches who voluntarily join together in a spiritual movement, committed to the good news about Jesus and His Kingdom.
We share a common commitment of following Jesus Christ as the Lord of our lives, our ministries, our families and our churches. He is the Head of the church which is His Body.
We do not desire to build merely a large human organization but instead to be involved in building the eternal Kingdom of God. We enjoy fellowship with Christian brothers and sisters of many backgrounds, cultures and nationalities who embrace the Lordship of Jesus Christ; the desire for holy living; and the commitment to be set free by Christ day by day.
The Evangelical Free Church of America is growing to include a beautiful mosaic of every generation and region of the United States, representing a variety of ethnic, racial and cultural peoples. Our churches comprise a graphic example of the Biblical principle of diversity with spiritual unity.
