Help 40 Orchards Flourish in 2026

We are at a pivotal moment. As our year-end letter explains, the work you see—our Scripture Circles—is only part of the story. Behind every gathering is spiritual care, thoughtful leadership, and a community that helps people ask better questions instead of submitting to harmful authority.

Meeting our $25,000 goal by December 31 ensures that 40 Orchards can continue offering safe, transformative spaces in 2026.

“40 Orchards is like no other experience I have had with the Bible. I knew within the first 15 minutes of my first Circle something in my heart was healing in my love-hate relationship with the Bible.”
