I'M NEW & WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ORCHARD
We are a Christ-centered, family-oriented community located on the east side of Ventura. Our focus is on growing personal relationships with Jesus Christ and deepening commitments to others. No matter what stage of life you are in, there is a place for you here!
ORCHARD KIDS
At Orchard Community Church, children experience authentic worship, hear sound Biblical instruction and make
connections with adult leaders and other children. Children also learn practical ways to apply the truths of the stories to their everyday lives.
ORCHARD YOUTH
Our Youth Ministry goal is to share Christ with students and to help them grow as disciples in truth and love. We meet, hang out, learn, grow, and love Jesus. Usually, no one gets hurt and often God does amazing stuff. There is a place for everyone, and we always have a fun and memorable time!
COMMUNITY FOR YOU
No matter what your age or background, there is a place for you here and a community for you to belong. God chooses to work through the lives of people just like you every day and gathering together is where this happens. At Orchard we build community in many ways including fun activities, learning opportunities, and serving others.

All children are welcome in the worship service and there is an infant cry room on the west side of the main worship room. All children start off with their parents in the main Worship Center. After a few worship songs and the Children’s Message, children (preschool to 5th grade) are escorted downstairs to “Orchard Kids”.
