Worship is a primary focus of our church. God made us and redeemed us so that we might “glorify Him and enjoy Him forever.”

In worship, the church in heaven and the church on earth converge in celebrating Christ’s triumph over sin and Satan, over death and hell. God commands us to worship through everything we do, but leaves special room for praising Him through the proclamation of the Word, sacraments, song and other artistic efforts.

During the worship service, nursery is provided for newborns and toddlers, and there are children’s church programs for two-year-olds through fourth grade.

Toddlers through kindergarten celebrate Christ with songs and stories in the children’s wings for the entire church service. First through fourth graders sit with the entire congregation for the first part of the service and then are dismissed to continue worshipping in their own children’s church called OKids Worship. All other ages are included with the entire congregation in worship.

Join us in praising and worshipping our Lord Jesus Christ at our 9:00am and

10:45am worship services.

sunday morningsIn addition to our worship services, Orangewood provides an adult education program entitled “The Discovering Series.” The Discovering Series is designed for instructing, training and equipping followers to be on mission for Christ. Each fall and winter semester, Orangewood offers a variety of Discovering classes which are interactive and informative. Participants are encouraged to use the tools taught in these classes to reach out to others, continuing a cycle of mentoring and discipling that goes beyond the classroom. Visit www.orangewood.org/DiscoveringClasses for more information.

While Discovering classes are in session, classes are offered for the children and students of participating adults. A class is provided for 1st through 5th grade in room 157, and middle and high school students are invited to the space. Since the Discovering classes are held during the 10:45am Worship service, families are encouraged to participate together in worship during the 9:00am service.

patioSundays, between the 9:00am and 10:45am services, we invite you to step onto our patio and grab coffee and donuts! The patio is located off the hallway between the sanctuary and the Children’s Hallway/nursery.

The patio is a place to connect with members of Orangewood, inquire about our various ministry opportunities or just relax with friends. We welcome the opportunity to get to know you on our patio!

Community Groups Life. Together.

Community Groups are vibrant small gatherings of members and guest who meet weekly in area homes to encourage one another, while strengthening their journey with Christ. Community Groups offer a meaningful way to connect with fellow believers, and allow our hearts to be transformed by God’s grace. Community Groups are formed twice a year, in January and September.

All groups include elements of fellowship, worship, discussion, prayer and service. Community Groups are sermon-based with weekly discussion questions posted on the back of Sunday’s bulletin and online at orangewood.org/cgquestions.

Community Groups meet at various times on almost every day of the week in the surrounding communities. They are designed for adults and will have the resources to organize childcare in a way that best fits each group.

To join a Community Group, sign up in the foyer on Open House Sundays. You can also search groups at any time online at www.orangewood.org/communitygroups. Here you can find additional pertinent information about each group, email the facilitator with questions or join a group. For more information, contact Larry Shingler, Director of Small Group Ministries, at lshingler@orangewood.org.

The purpose of Orangewood’s Women’s Ministry is to encourage and equip women to grow in their love for God, His Word and with others. Within our Women’s Ministries, there are opportunities to get involved with Bible studies, prayer groups, missions, the Take Them A Meal program and a variety of service projects.

There are two Bible studies offered each year, one in the fall and spring. They are open to all women at any time. The study meets on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:45am and 9:30-11:00am so that women can pick the time that works best for their schedule.

Childcare is provided for the 9:30am study.

All ages will be together for a large group time of worship with live singers and vibrant Bible teaching, then split into grade specific small groups with a consistent leader for discussion questions and Bible memory work.

Scripture shows that God loves the entire world and uses His people as agents to love others and focus on their needs.

Orangewood wants to act as salt and light in our own communities and around the world where there is no church to serve the community. We are seeking to proclaim Christ around the world by building strategic partnerships with gifted nationals from many regions.

Currently, we financially and prayerfully support 60 missionaries and ministries serving Christ in a variety of ways including church planting, ministering to the poor, theological education, meeting medical and educational needs, and more.

We build long-term relationships with our partners in other countries as Orangewood members spend time on short-term trips by using their gifts and skills in communicating the

love of Christ to people of the world. Generally, more than 150 people representing Orangewood go on trips to Mexico, Honduras, the Middle East, Greece and Japan each year.

The Word of God tells us that “we are fellow workers together with God” (I Cor. 3:9). What a humbling and awesome task we have as Christians to be used to help advance His Kingdom on earth. As we hold hands with partners around the world, in total dependence upon the grace of the Lord Jesus, we desire to see His church established and built. . . all for His glory!

This is accomplished through prayer and financial support, as well as service to our missionaries by sending groups to do medical and dental work, construction, teaching and serving in any way possible. If you are interested in a short-term trip, contact Pastor Joe Creech at jcreech@orangewood.org.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

In 2007, the Lord led Orangewood to start a preschool as a support to our surrounding community. At Maitland Community Preschool (MCP) all children are welcome and seen as uniquely created by God.

The purpose of our preschool is to help children grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. We believe parents should be the primary teachers of their children and fulfill our role in supporting and encouraging parents in the nurture and training of their children. At MCP, we believe that children learn best in a loving, caring environment where they may

experience the awe and wonder of God’s world through a variety of developmentally appropriate, hands-on activities.

The mission of MCP is to lead our children to know God and His world by providing a solid foundation for life and learning.

Our vision is that each child who attends MCP will grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.

As Maitland Community Preschool is a ministry of Orangewood Church, it supports the Children’s Ministries mission and vision statements of teaching children to:

More than thirty years ago, the people of Orangewood Church had a vision to glorify God by providing an excellent education for children. This vision was for children of believers to be mentored and taught academics, technology, fine arts and athletics from a reformed, Christian perspective, empowering them to discover and develop their unique gifts and talents, to enjoy life, to transform culture, and to honor God. That vision became Orangewood Christian School (OCS).

With nearly 700 students enrolled each year, it is our prayer that every single student will be used by Christ to transform the world for his Kingdom, both here and beyond the walls of Orangewood. OCS students are challenged to make an impact on the world for Christ through service and missions, and all students participate in community service activities.

OCS offers an excellent academic program with advanced and college level courses. The OCS curriculum offers enrichment opportunities in art, instrumental & vocal music, drama, foreign languages, technology, video production, clubs, and over 33 team sports. Most importantly, every subject is taught from a

Biblical perspective. Whether they teach math, science, English, or history, OCS teachers help their students understand the subject from a Christian world view. All students take Bible classes as a part of their OCS coursework. The teachers also show their students how to apply the Bible to all aspects of their lives as they encourage them to develop strong personal faith and character.
