Orchard View Calls a New Pastor: After a lengthy search, Rev. Steve Gruesendorf has accepted our invitation to be our new Senior Pastor. Pastor Steve, as he likes to be called, is coming to us after serving as Associate Pastor at the Appleton Alliance Church. Pastor Steve, his wife Rebecca, and their 2 yr. old son, Caleb, are expecting a new addition to their family, Nathan, in July. Pastor Steve will be wrapping up his ministerial duties at Appleton on or about July 31st. So, we expect Pastor Steve will start to transition to OVA in August. We are looking forward to Pastor Steve's ministry here at OVA. Pastor Steve gave an excellent message on May 17th during his candidate Sunday. You can see it, or hear at by going to the Sermon Series page and clicking on the link to your desired media type.

Who Are We
Orchard View Alliance Church is a local church of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA). We are evangelical believers, dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ. We maintain a "big tent" stance in reference to many doctrinal matters, encouraging believers of diverse backgrounds and theological traditions to unite in an alliance to know and exalt Jesus Christ and to complete His Commission. That Commission clearly instructs us:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you"; (Matthew 28:19-20, NIV).
