About Orchard Scribe
Welcome to Orchard Scribe! We are a diverse community of Christian writers here to help you grow in your faith. We are committed to using our gifts to help you establish deep roots (Jeremiah 17:7-8) and produce lasting fruit (John 15:16). We want to see you grow in the Lord and we don’t want you to grow alone!
We invite you to spend some time on our blog, Together in the Orchard. We write about four major topics, making it easier for you to find the content you need. Develop and maintain a strong foundation in the Lord, strengthen your fellowship with others, build your faith, and walk in the fruit of the Spirit. Stop by the blog each week for new content from our scribes or sign up for our newsletter and we’ll meet you in your in-box.
In addition to our blog, we also write books and share content on social media. You’ll find these links throughout the site. We love empowering our readers and we also work to empower Christian writers, offering resources, trainings, and self-publishing support.
Read on to get to know the writers and to meet our founder, Anitra Elmore, then dive in. Read our stories, pray through our devotionals, and study the Bible with us. We promise to bring you words of life to help you “bear much fruit.” Welcome to the orchard, friends. Let’s grow!
By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. -John 15:8 ESV
