On this week’s episode, Pastor Chip Parker and Pastor AJ Stevens are recapping the first message of our vision series titled “Lasting Impact.” During the first sermon in this series, Pastor Chip Parker shared the vision for The Orchard over the next few years: to grow wider and deeper.

The Orchard Community Church has been around for 17 years, and the goal for the 18th year and beyond is to grow up. The impact of what God has done in the last 17 years of The Orchard has been amazing, but we don’t want to stop here. The vision is to impact lostness in our region, and this episode shares more about what that can look like.

P.S. We are excited to be celebrating 50 episodes of “Let’s Talk About That” in the next few weeks, and we’re passing on the excitement to you with a giveaway! Listen in on this week’s episode for more details on how to enter.
