Who we are
Church doesn’t just happen in buildings. At The Branch, we believe it happens in backyards, parks, living rooms, coffee shops, and in the woods. Just like the early Church. We’re a new church plant in Teller County, Colorado, and we follow Jesus with boldness, honesty, and a deep love for people.
Our mission is to restore the lost, heal the broken, and share the hope found in Christ Jesus — through raw community, radical discipleship, and Spirit-filled living.
Our Three Pillars
At The Branch, we’re building more than a Sunday gathering. We’re cultivating a movement. Everything we do flows from three pillars: home churches, discipleship experiences, and weekly celebrations. These sacred moments anchor us in authentic faith, deep healing, and a Spirit-led community.
Stay tuned as we build out our vision for how these pillars will help you connect to others through The Branch.
What to Expect on Sundays
Sundays are sacred, but they are not the main event. We believe that they serve as the gathering point, the celebration of all that God has done throughout the week. Currently, we meet in shared spaces, outside, in our community. We’re praying for a permanent home, but we share our gathering each week on our social channels.
A typical Sunday celebration includes:
• Spirit-led worship
• Testimonies on life change
• Prayer and repentance
• Commissioning to live the Gospel
We call it the sending out to go make disciples. We hope you’ll join us.
What About the Children?
We believe that children are our future, and we invest in them deeply. Instead of big programs, we focus on relationships and God’s bigness. Our children’s ministry team reaches kids from babies to fifth graders through storytelling, worship, prayer, and play.
Children are also part of our worship. Family worship is essential and a significant part of how we build disciples.
What About Teens?
Teens are growing in their identity and purpose, and we want to meet them where they are. Answer their questions and speak to them honestly about mental health, sexuality, faith, and their future. We also incorporate our youth into our services, understanding that they have a testimony and desire to share their faith through worship.
Our Leadership Structure
We don’t believe that a single personality or pastor is the face of The Branch — Jesus is. Our leadership structure is simple and shaped after the early Church. We have a team of spiritually mature elders who lead the Church together. Accountability, prayer, and discernment define our leadership culture.
Stay tuned for more on how we lead.
Financial Philosophy
We believe that tithing is an act of trust and surrender, not a membership fee. We are still developing our tithing guidelines, but we are committed to transparency and giving to missional and local ministries. Stay tuned for more on how we give.
Next Steps
We’re rooted in this community, but we’re still growing. We invite you to connect with us on Sundays and talk to one of us. We’ll guide you on your next steps as we establish ours. We’re so thankful you’re here with us in God’s Kingdom.
