The Alpha Course
Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion. This group will be starting again in the fall of 2007.

Small Groups
Small groups at Orchard Park exist to bring members and friends together to share meals, friendship, and various Bible and book studies. These groups are an excellent way to get connected at Orchard Park and offer you the opportunity to grow spiritually with others in our church family.
