Other stuff you might want to know:
Orchards is a Baptist church that holds to the teachings of the Holy Bible (see beliefs page). We are an autonomous, self governed, independent church. Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit the members of Orchards seek to understand what God wants us to do, and then we do it. The leadership at Orchards seeks God’s leading and helps the church family to accomplish God’s will.
We are voluntarily affiliated with the area Longs Peak Baptist Association of churches and the state Colorado Baptist General Convention and the national Southern Baptist Convention. We have learned that we can do more together than we can by ourselves. This enables us to personally get involved with many ministries and missions opportunities all over the world. Since we have voluntarily affiliated with these entities, none of them have any authority over Orchards. We also voluntarily associate and work together with churches in our community that hold to the same basic doctrinal teachings of the Bible.
