About Orchard Scribe
Welcome to Orchard Scribe! We are a 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!
Every post on the blog fits into four categories. We want to help you 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 day for new content from our scribes or sign up for our newsletter and we’ll meet you in your in-box.
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
