PASTORAL STAFF

John Nix

Senior Pastor

John Nix is the Senior Pastor of The Orchard Church in Collierville, Tennessee. He loves Jesus and people and enjoys making others laugh. You can usually find him singing, reading, handing out books, or talking about the Bible. John and his wife, Allison, have three children: Sarah, Sydney, and Simeon. He enjoys watching sports, playing sports, and drinking way too much coffee!

Andrew Hendrick

Worship Pastor

Andrew is a true born and raised Memphian. He and his wife, Katie, have been married 14 years and have three amazingly passionate children, Evey, Bax, and Luke. Andrew loves to be in God’s Word and growing in deep, intentional discipleship relationships. Andrew can usually be found staying active, being outdoors, in the middle of a book, drinking his ridiculous hand-ground coffee, or working on too many projects at once.

James Allison

Discipleship Pastor

After years of wrestling with addiction and depression, James heard the gospel that was shared with him at The Orchard Church and was radically saved on December 3, 2017. Eight months later, Pastor John asked James to meet weekly for accountability, prayer, and bible study. For the next 5 years, James installed a passion for God’s Word, expository preaching, and disciple-making in his life.
 
Today, James’ favorite activity is to share of the amazing saving power of Jesus, helping others realize that following Jesus “is a total reorientation of life” with the goal of transformation over simply information.  James’ passion is to “make disciples who make disciples.”
 
James and his wife, Taylor, have been married for six years and have two adorable girls.
