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.

Roots

Roots

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 aged ministry of The Branch Family Church! It consists of those out of high school between the ages of 18 to 35!

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.

Join us the first Tuesday of each month as we discuss Biblical topics that affect our everyday lives. It will be a great time to establish relationships with other women and grow in your knowledge of the Word.

Men

Men's Ministry

Our men's group meets for a bible study and breakfast on the first Thursday morning of the month. Join us as well for the annual golf tournament in the month of May.

Helps

Helps Ministry

Our Mission:

Everyone has a gift to share. A huge part of our vision is growing strong and branching out, we believe that this is done when we all share our gifts and talents with others. We want to help you identify where you believe God wants you to plug in.

We have a variety of opportunities available, please read the descriptions below to find an area that you would be interested in, and feel free to contact the church office for more information.

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.

Open House

Open House

“Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand  - shine!  Keep open house; be generous with your lives.  By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Open House is all about getting connected with people and building relationships. The Branch has Open House small groups located throughout the Charlotte/Concord area. Each group has time for fellowship, prayer, and Bible Study.

Branch School of Ministry

School of Ministry


If you have ever desired to learn more about the Word of God and apply that knowledge to help others then The Branch School of Minsitry is for you.   

The school has been designed for the working person, the single mom, married couples, and those who have always had a desire to attend a Bible school. We have made it affordable and accessible to learn in a teaching and interactive classroom environment.

Tuition Dues: One time application fee of $25.00. Each semester will cost $250.00 or $60.00 per class. Married couples may enroll together with a tuition fee of $300.00. You may pay in full at the beginning of each semester, or pay per class. If you are paying per class the cost must be paid on the first day of class.

Attendance Policy:
You may miss up to two classes per semester. If it exceeds more than two you may make up the session either listening to the CDs and/or getting notes from your selected group.

Al-a-Carte: Classes may be taken per modular topic, but you will only receive credit for the single class that was taken.

Class assignments: Weekly assigned reading will be given out during class. There will be open-book tests at the end of various classes.

Active involvement in ministry:
We ask that you are serving in some form of ministry at least once per month. (i.e. Greeters, Ushers, Hospitality, Main service setup and tear down, Multi-media, Youth, Children’s ministry, Small groups, etc.)
