Our Story
What started as a daily nudge to pray and read the Bible led to the start of a God-given vision.
Reading the Bible in its entirety, opened our founder’s eyes to the beauty of God’s love, grace, and mercy. Those simple steps of consistently engaging with God and His Word were full of revelation. Each day revealed more and more truths about who God was, is, and will be. After studying and meditating on the Bible, the Lord placed a burden on our founder’s heart to share the messages learned. The Restored Orchard was officially birthed in 2020 after a radical season of faith and obedience.
The Restored Orchard began as a collection of devotionals, declarations, and prayers, but quickly expanded beyond that to Bible Studies and resources to increase biblical literacy.
The Foundation
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples.

Our Beliefs
The Apostle's Creed
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; on the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost; the One Holy Church, the Communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins; the Resurrection of the body, and Life everlasting. Amen.
Our Founder's Story
I have a heart for seeing people restored and living intentional lives because I was once broken and unfulfilled. I’ve wandered down dark paths and somehow found my way back into God’s beautiful light. My journey has been and still is a testament to God’s faithfulness and grace.
Although I grew up in church, I have come to realize that being in church does not mean that you are in Christ. I spent most of my childhood trying to ‘be good’ which set me down a path of striving. I wanted to excel at everything and for the most part I did……
I got good grades, went to college, and had multiple degrees and certifications. If you looked at the world’s definition of success, then I was doing just fine. But what I didn’t realize was how much of my identity was interwoven with my titles and accomplishments. It wasn’t until the Lord started stripping them away one by one that I was able to see who He truly created me to be.
It was a season of refining.
The Lord placed me over the fire to remove my impurities. So many things came to the surface; fear, doubt, pride, selfishness, coveting, and idols. Slowly but surely, each lie of the enemy was replaced with truth. What started as a gentle whisper to meditate in His Word, led me down a path of restoration and fruitfulness.
That journey and God’s vision of The Restored Orchard lit a fire to spread the lessons learned. To offer pieces of my testimony as glimmers of hope and shine the light of God’s goodness into this dark world. To remind people of the transformation that takes place simply by dwelling in the Word of God. It is my prayer that engaging with the Bible and spending time with God will challenge you to weed out things of this world and bear good fruit for our Heavenly Father.
