COMMITMENT DAY AT "The Orchard Church"

Our final value in the Orchard is that of valuing those who commit to "developing" the community. We feel that someone "develops" the community through (1)building up, (2)supporting and (3) serving. There at least 3 different levels of commitment to each of these. We ast that TODAY, if you are so moved by God's Spirit, you would decide to be a "Developer" of the OC and will fill out the following form with your name and then checking one box (or more) in each of the sections.

Beginning on ____________, 2006 ______________(name) has decided to be a developer of "The Orchard Church." So, I commit to the following:

I will BUILD UP (1John 4) the community by...
  • Attending weekly "Rain" services
  • Regularly attending one of our "Tree Groups"
  • Hosting one of our "Tree Groups"
  • Leading one of our "Tree Groups"
I will SUPPORT (2Corinthians 9) the community by...
  • Praying for its needs on a daily basis
  • Giving weekly to support the OC's staff and programs
  • Tithing to support the OC
I will SERVE (Matthew 20) the community by...
  • Being a part of the set up, tear down or storage team for "The Rain"
  • Helping with children
  • Helping with teens
  • Helping with administration
  • Helping with worship
  • Helping plan/lead service projects
  • OTHER: ____________________________________________

This is not a contract with The OC. It is a public commitment you're making to the community of Jesus. We do not have a formal membership process at the OC, but we promise that we (the staff) will BUILD UP, SUPPORT and SERVE those who chose to commit to being "developers" of the community.
