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 wear them so much; it is time to become unmasked. Unmasked is our Jr. High/High School guys/girls Bible study on Wednesday nights. We meet in the sanctuary at 7pm for worship and then split into a guys group and girls group. The guys meet with DJ in the Grapple room downstairs, and the girls meet in the communion/cry room with Dianna Pittman. This study time is designed to allow these students to be real. This is a place where they can come and share with others what they are going through and how to get through it...and eat pizza!

If you have never experienced a Chirst in Youth conference, then this is your year. Personally, CIY has always been an event that I have loved, it is where I first decided to go into ministry. Attached you will find the flyer with all of the information (cost, deadlines, dates) that you need in order to attend any of these conferences. We will be attending two for 6th-8th grade students and one for 9th-12th grade. We do ask the deposits be turned in ASAP to hold your spot.

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.
Our Mission
Branches of Christ exists to glorify God by
creating an atmosphere of acceptance,
introducing people to Jesus Christ, and
developing them through the Word
so that they can do the same.
