We believe that one of the ways we can see transformation in Madison and across the globe is through engaging in meaningful partnerships with ministries, organizations, and churches who have expertise and vision to contextually respond to specific local and global needs.
In some cases, Orchard Church partners with these organizations through a combination of intentional prayer, telling the story of their work, service opportunities, or giving financially. In others, a Missional Community is formed when a group of people share a passion and move towards an organization or people group intentionally through prayer and service.

MISSIONAL COMMUNITIES
The Women Leaders Network
The Women Leaders Network (WLN) is an initiative of the GLN and is a global movement of local cohorts that will identify, empower, equip and release women in leadership. We desire to see women leading well with and alongside men, and fully use their God given leadership gifts for His purposes. Our vision is to see a unified global network of women leaders bringing transformational impact to their churches and local communities.
The Madison chapter of WLN is a Missional Community of Orchard Church. They meet monthly to connect, build relationships and learn and grow together in leadership ability and calling. They are also committed to develop a serving element that will have a transformation impact on the Madison community.
