Adult Small Groups Small groups are a great environment for building relationships and encouraging one another in our faith. One of the best ways to get started in a small group is to sign up for one of our 6-8 week small group opportunities that are being offered a few times a year.

Adult Community Groups Throughout the year, learning and discussion opportunities are offered on Sunday mornings for adults. Traditionally, classes and groups meet from 9:45-10:45 a.m. in Rooms 109 and 111. Classes often meet for 4 to 6 consecutive weeks and focus on a specific topic or issue. Some classes may follow the current teaching series. Click here for more information. Christian Book Club This ministry meets each month to discuss various Christian books.

Face to Face (F2F) Face to Face is about helping you discover what might best help you take a next step in your faith journey or a next step here at OHC. How? Through a simple conversation. On Sunday mornings, after each of our worship services, our Face to Face Team is available at the Welcome Center to talk with you about opportunities that can help you grow, learn, and connect here at Orchard. We'd love to visit more with you about taking next steps in your faith journey and here at OHC. Visit the team at the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings. We're the people wearing the F2F lanyards.

Meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at various restaurants and tea rooms. Sign up on the bulletin board outside the church office. Mom's Morning Out An opportunity for mothers of small children to meet for prayer, Bible study, sharing and mutual support. Mom's Morning Out meets once a week, on Friday mornings, during the school year. The time consists of an hour together, then the participants take turns helping with childcare here at church while the other moms are free for the next hour and 15 minutes to do whatever they would like with their morning out time. Resumes September 23. Quilting The Quilting Team meets each Thursday in Room 111 to make quilts that are given to young people who enter a youth detention facility in the area. The ‘raw materials' we use are all donated cotton scraps and fabric remnants and come from the generosity of Orchard Hill members and friends. The creativity we use in putting the fabrics together into patterns is pure enjoyment. The labor involved in sewing the quilts together gets lost in the fun of doing it in the company of friends. The finished products are always amazing reminders of how God blesses the cooperative efforts of His children. And finally, the quilts themselves become a very tangible way of sharing God's love with those in need. Route 55 Men's Breakfast Club Meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at the College Square Hy Vee. Nothing formal-just a time to hang out. All men are invited. Contact Vern Hansen at 277-3885 with questions. Women Alive Women Alive is a service ministry of OHC that provides meals and cleans up for funerals, weddings and missions of the denomination here at OHC.

All women of Orchard Hill Church are welcome to attend and bring friends to any event. Women's Ministry Events Women's Spring Conference Young Adults Community Group: Couples and singles meet each Sunday morning in Room 111 to build relationships, grow in their faith, and dig into God’s Word.
