What to expect

If you are new to Christianity or looking for a church then please consider coming weekly for several weeks in a row. That will help you process along with a pastor if this church is where you will attend and eventually join.

We invite you to come and worship our Triune God with us!

Sunday Service:

  • Time: We begin our worship service at 10:15am. We encourage you to arrive early for some coffee, fellowship, and preparing your heart for worship. 
  • Order of Service: Our service begins with a call to worship, the reading of Scripture accompanied by occasional reader response whereby the gathering of saints participates in the reading led by a Pastor. Traditional and contemporary hymns as well as Psalms are the general selection of songs. Before the sermon, the Pastor or one of the men leads the congregation into a time of corporate confession and individual confession of sin (between you and the Lord) and assurance of forgiveness through faith in Jesus. 
  • Preaching and the Lord's Supper: The sermon is about 45 minutes, and afterward, we observe Communion which we do weekly. (This is for baptized believers only).
  • Family integration: We love having children during the service and do not mind a bit of noise. However, if your child needs a place for extra noise making or to roam about during the sermon, the foyer is available with video and audio streaming. At Branches we believe children need to see their parent(s) in worship, singing, hearing the public reading of scripture, seeing their parents submit to faithful preaching, observing their parent(s) taking communion, witnessing their parent(s) in fellowship with the saints weekly.
  • What to wear: People at Branches typically dress casual. It's Orange County.



"I am the vine; you are the branches.

Whoever abides in me and I in him,

he it is that bears much fruit,

for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 ESV​
