OCC Podcast
Each week on the podcast, you will hear a sermon from lead pastor James Green and the teaching team at Orchards Community Church (Lewiston, ID) as they walk verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and share biblical truth from God's Word. Then, every Wednesday, join us for MIDPOINT, our mid-week devotional series, where the pastors discuss the sermon, answer questions from the congregation, and offer practical advice on how to be a devoted disciple of Jesus.
