Orchard Group was born in New York City and has been planting churches in metropolitan areas for over 75 years. We believe starting new churches is the best way to reach new residents, new people groups, and new generations with the Christian gospel. And we believe reaching people with the gospel is the best way to bring about enduring, positive change in our world. Orchard Group has an exceptional track record of planting churches in these kinds of places: Over 95% of churches started with Orchard Group become self-sustaining, self-governing, and self-replicating. Orchard Group church plants are currently making a meaningful and lasting difference in the communities of New York City, Seattle, Osaka, Istanbul, San Francisco, Paris, Lagos, Chicago, Baltimore, and more.
