Local and Global Outreach

Local and Global Outreach

“He will rescue the poor when they cry to Him; He will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. He feels pity for the weak and needy, and He will rescue them. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to Him.” Psalm 72:12-14

Our Mission:

Missions and Outreach are a part of our mission, Branch out. We believe in taking what we have received and sharing it with others. Our desire is to share the goodness of God with people by building relationships, meeting their needs, and of course, sharing His love in everything that we do. Every life truly is precious to God and we want to be a part of letting all people know how incredibly precious they are! We believe that when a person gets a taste of the goodness of God, then they won't want to let go.

Children

Children's Ministry

“We know who He is, and we know who we are: Father and children.” Romans 8:16

Our Mission:

Treehouse, the children’s ministry of the Branch, is a safe place where love is at the heart of all we do. We invest in our children each week to strengthen their relationship with God. As we instill in our children a love for God’s Word, their roots are being established in Jesus. They will flourish in the generation to which God has called them.

College & Career

Roots College & Career Ministry

My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving. - Colossians 2:6-7

ROOTS is the college and career ministry of The Branch Family Church! It consists of those out of high school between the ages of 18 and 30!

Currently Meeting Every Tuesday Night @ The Jenkins House

Ladies

Ladies' Ministry

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.  If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.  But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.  Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm.  But how can one be warm alone?  A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.  Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”  Ecc. 4:9-12

The vision of the ladies ministry is to provide a safe haven for women to grow in their relationship with God and others.

The Ladies' Ministry, meets twice per month for teaching and connection.

Men

Worship

Worship Ministry

Worship is the lifestyle of Heaven and the music team of The Branch desires to bring the Sound of Heaven into every service. We are not pursuing a “show”, but in glorifying God as a congregation. The contemporary approach mixes original songs with hymns and new classics. Many people are currently involved with the Audio/Video ministry- from the Adult service, to Youth, College Career, and Children’s services- we are growing all the time.
