Sunday Night Fusion
Sunday Night Fusion is our student program for all 7th-12th graders. Come and join us Sunday nights from 6pm-8pm in the sanctuary. SNF is designed to encourage discipleship and spiritual growth by combining elements of worship, Scripture, discussion, prayer, and communion. We are also introducing the new Fusion Coffee Shop! So come check it out!!!
Unmasked
We seem to always put them on in the morning, but it is time we become unmasked. Unmasked is our mid-week Bible study for 7th-12th grade students. We start at 7:00pm with worship in the sanctuary and go until 8:30pm. At Unmasked you can expect a real and safe environment to share what sort of things cause you to hide from God or put on a different face, and how we can support and help each other through. Don't eat dinner, because each week we offer free pizza!

sign up. Speaking of signing up, the kits are only $70 (30% off) for Branches families, so talk to Julie or Dave McInnis today! Everything kicks off next week (Jan 29 & 30).
Branches’ leadership has long prayed for ministry to rise up from the Lord through the people. Once again we get to see this happening as Steve, Laurie, and Michael Hallock have been led to begin a ministry of getting the Word into people’s hands and hearts. They are willing to provide Bibles for any of us to give out while witnessing to others. One of the core principles we stand on is “Faith comes by hearing (and reading) the Word of Christ. Let them know when you need a Bible for a friend.

Please understand, we don't pressure, or automatically follow up with a visit or phone call. In respect of your privacy we let you tell us if, or when, you want more information.
