One Fund

As we look ahead to 2025, I’m filled with gratitude and anticipation for what God has in store for The Orchard. His faithfulness continues to amaze us, and it’s clear that He’s calling us to step boldly into the opportunities He’s laid before us. Every ministry, every conversation, every act of service—these moments are not just about what we do; they’re about how God is shaping us and using us to bring hope to our community and beyond.

This year, we’re introducing the One Fund approach to our budget. This isn’t just a financial shift—it’s a step toward deeper alignment with God’s mission for His church. By combining all giving into one fund, we can focus our
resources on what matters most: lives transformed by The Gospel. Whether it’s supporting ministries here in Waynesville, sending teams to serve, or replanting a new church in West Asheville, every dollar given will play a role in the bigger picture of Kingdom work.

The brochure below outlines how we plan to steward the resources God provides in 2025. The process has been rooted in prayer and trust, and I believe it reflects faithful stewardship of what God has entrusted to us. Thank you for your generosity and heart for this mission. Together, we’re stepping into 2025 with faith, knowing that God will do more than we can ask or imagine.
