Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ

About this church

Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ is a Madison congregation describing itself as spiritually alive, joyfully inclusive, and committed to justice. Worship, adult education, Sunday School, children’s music, nursery care, and justice-focused youth mission trips support an intergenerational community. The church identifies as a sanctuary congregation and highlights immigration justice, environmental care, and continued work toward racial justice. Open Communion includes children of all ages, and worship streams on YouTube for people joining remotely.

Sunday School and adult education begin at 9:00 a.m., with children’s classes running until about 9:50. In-person and livestreamed worship starts at 10:00 and ordinarily continues until roughly 11:00. After the children’s message, children can leave for crafts and music instruction, returning for Communion on Communion Sundays. Nursery care for babies, toddlers, and children through age four runs from 8:30 to 11:30 with two screened caregivers. The homepage retains a notice that changing public-health conditions may move worship or education online on short notice; visitors should consult weekly announcements before traveling. If the YouTube stream does not appear promptly after 10:00, the church advises refreshing the page. An usher can direct first-time families from worship to the appropriate Sunday School room.
