The Orchard Group

For over 50 years Orchard Group, formerly "Go Ye" Chapel Mission, has held to one single purpose: Planting churches.

Orchard Group identifies dynamic locations for new churches in New York City and the broader Northeast, hires staff, and provides start-up funds to get the new church underway. The organization provides 100% of staff salaries in the first year of the new church, with the church picking up increasingly larger portions of salaries from year two through self-support at the end of year three or year four.

The Orchard Group Board appoints Management Teams to oversee each church-planting project. The Management Team oversees the Senior Minister of the new church until the new church reaches self-support status. Ultimately these new churches will in turn plant more and more new churches.
