The Orchard

The Orchard is a new church plant in Asheville, a city of over 400,000 people in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The Atmospheres project is an album produced by Steve Deal (Lead Pastor at The Orchard) and Stephen von Heyking (Worship Leader at The Orchard) with the intention of providing the listener with a soundtrack for worship, a tool that inevitably pushes the listener to want to stop what they're doing and worship the Lord. With sweeping anthems to intimate, quiet, worshipful songs, Atmospheres is innovative, groundbreaking and unwavering in its insistence that music intended as worship must be expressed with a skill, fervor and creativity mirroring the one it is intended to honor.
