We believe in the Trinity. That is where God is one in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe in the inspired word of God, the Bible We believe we are created in God's image, the Imago Dei, not necessarily his physical likeness but that our souls and have a yearning and longing for love We believe in One God. We believe in the Trinity God. One God, three persons. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, each fully God We believe Jesus Christ, the second person of God, God the Son became incarnate in Human form and was crucified on the cross as a sacrifice for humanity and then arose from the dead three days later in triumph over death. We believe in the need for a personal relationship with God, made possible only through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit making us born again. We encourage baptism in water to publicly symbolize our understanding of this cleansing in the Spirit and commitment to Jesus. We embrace the great commission to spread the Gospel and good news to the world, that is that Jesus died and rose again and now we have eternal salvation and relationship with God We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, that he will again return. We await this day excitedly
The Orchard Church originally began... an Open Brethren Church
Established then at Beatty Avenue
In 2007 with the new building we have been renamed the Orchard, appropriate for the 2ha Kiwifruit Orchard we are situated upon, the industry Te Puke is famous for and the metaphor of fellowship an Orchard provides. That we are a place of growth and fellowship.
