The Orchard

Our Vision

Just as Living Word was called out to plant a church, we also believe that in our maturity we will be planting an orchard of churches, missions and ministries to fulfill the needs of our community, country and world. Our vision is to see the leaders we have mentored and partnered with over the years to return on our 20th Birthday and celebrate how God has grown people, transformed households and reached neighbors throughout our community, country and world. Please take time to connect with our orchard partners in mission, ministry and mentoring.
