I‘m new…
Wherever you are in your journey, we would love to walk with you.
We know that a first step may be joining us on Sunday so here are some important things to note:
The Branch is a welcoming, inclusive and affirming congregation. We believe that all people of every ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, race, gender, and religious background have an equal and full place in the life of The Branch. We believe that God’s family is a family for everyone. There are no exceptions. We hope you will experience this welcome and belonging on Sundays, and every other time we gather.
Our Sunday gathering is 60-75 minutes as we engage God and each other through music, prayer, Scripture, communion, conversation and art all in the belief that doing so helps us recenter on what is good, beautiful and true.
We meet at 973 28th St. SE. You can also always join the livestream on our YouTube page.
As we have moved through the pandemic we have monitored and followed guidance from the Kent County Health Department and the CDC. This will continue. Currently, masks are optional; of course, you are more than welcome to wear a mask.
Our sanctuary and fellowship hall have been outfitted with ionization filters and our children’s classrooms have air filters running at all times.
One more note: we will be sharing communion most weeks. Those who choose to participate will have two options: individually wrapped packages of crackers and juice will be available, and individuals will be able to come forward and be served bread and juice touch free.

Here are some of our beliefs and values connected to our Sunday gathering:
Sundays are a time to bring your whole self.
God invites us to be honest about our lives and to bring who we are as much as we’re able. Feeling joyful? You’re welcome to dress up and wear a smile. Had a hard week? Then show up in sweats and with a somber face. Wherever you are – whoever you are – we hope you’ll come as you are.
Sundays are a time to engage the world.
Not only do we bring our whole selves to worship, but we do our best to engage the whole world. That means that our time together includes both celebration and lament. We hold up joy and call injustice out, and we do this through music, prayer, reflection, art, and Scripture.
Sundays are a time to connect.
Our weeks are busy and scattered, often leaving us feeling disconnected from each other. That makes our Sunday gathering a valuable weekly rhythm, meant to remind us that we do belong to something bigger than ourselves, and we are loved and known.
Sundays are meant to prepare us for every other day.
Our Sunday gatherings are not the end — they are a means to an end. They are a time for us to be encouraged, inspired, and equipped to live lives of love and grace every other moment of the week.
