The Orchard Arlington Heights - Arlington Heights, Illinois

I attended the 11am service at The Orchard today. It is a beautiful place with a caring, welcoming congregation. I found myself very uncomfortable with part of the message delivered by video and in person. I was grateful for the focus on God's Word in the Bible. I claim next to no Bible scholarship but any reading of 1st Corinthians 15:56 requires somber stillness. Not 1st Corinthians nor any other text in the Bible gives anyone license to declare that millions are not Saved. Any determination of who is or is not Saved, or how many may or may not be Saved is vested with God, This most important determination ever is part of His mystery that non other are qualified to know. Following such an unimaginably sad declaration that millions are not Saved, surely non would declare they ache to hear The Trumpet. Grace be to all of us across the entire earth; I hope to be among those who are Saved; whatever will be my long list of sins at my passing, I hope it will not include the arrogance to presume I know whether God will Save everyone or only a selection among us when Jesus returns.

Whan we moved to Arlington heights I was pretty lost. I put our faith in God and oddly found this amazing Church! Brought up strictly Lutheran..I just was Happy!! I Brought my own FATHER for a service. He loved it..preacher.
This is where you teach your children.

I am a bit taken back but was seeking a new church and to continue my faith in God. Unfortunately I made the mistake of joining this church's Tuesday 7pm men's Bible study and Mike who is the leader of our group has been extremely unprofessional and holding double standards. I.E.' it's OK for others to introduce hot button politics for a select few but not ok for others. No need for me to get into specifics but just the same

Bottom line the Orchard appears to be WOKE and Mike's behavior was over the top, again unprofessional, and he seems to have some anger issues. If churches behave and show favoritism no need to give offerings and attend churches that are no different than the secular world.

I am looking up this church address, because I was trying to find a Governmental Entity to contact in order to file a complaint against Collin and his Church for continuing to try to get money out of me. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves for selling the Gospel! Why you even called me once before and asked me to come to your Church and give you money! I foolishly viewed Collin on the One Place Website hoping again foolishly that you would not instantly start emailing me every single day, begging for money! But, sure enough you did! Even though I responded back to you insisting that you would STOP! But you refuse to! Instead, you just have a different ungodly representative of your brood of vipers contact me! Since you claim to represent God, how about you model Paul and make tents, as well as preach so that he would not be a burden to believers and set an example at the same time!

I only went to this place for a wedding but I could tell just by walking in that it was full of God's Spirit. The people are very welcoming. There are many resources and so much space that it has the feel of a megachurch.

Grew up going here. Met some fantastic people and friends and had some great experiences. But later I realized I had been brainwashed for 24 years here. Teaching Calvinism to children should be considered child abuse. And renouncing my Christian faith and forever leaving this church truly was a “was blind but now I see” moment. If I were still a Christian, I would thank god that I would never have to step foot in this church again…

And to top it all off I used to like Scottish accents 🙁

Welcoming fit and feel. Word of God spoken and explained clearly and concisely.
You will not write notes quick enough with the wonderful revelations that are expounded upon. For extra value join a small group for growth and closer walk with Christ.

Strive for continued growth...isn't that the Christian life? This is the place!
