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!

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.
Foundation
This title comes from Matthew 16:24, "Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Our focus for everything we do with the teen ministry will be to teach them that we are to surrender our lives as individuals and become Christ-like followers. We need to take our lives and fuse them to Christ and to God’s will. Deny yourself and follow Him.
Our Purpose
Branches of Christ Student Ministry exists to glorify God by strengthening families and helping students grow in Christ.
Our Process
We believe there is more to growth than coming to church on Sundays. We believe that through worship, teaching, fellowship, and prayer Christ will increase in our lives. This is why we offer a variety of different programs for students to come and open themselves up for the Holy Spirit to transform their lives.
