IFM
ABOUT OUR MINISTRY
Branches is a network of micro-churches operating under these core values:
Acceptance
We accept people where they are and no matter how broken they are, with love and grace.
Authenticity
We are real about our own faults and brokenness so we can effectively minister to those who are lost or broken. We avoid the culture of “having to look good,” to belong.
Simplicity
We believe being part of the body of Christ doesn’t need to be complicated. We want to avoid creating barriers to finding Jesus and becoming His disciples and ministers.
Community
We recognize that a life of faith is designed to be lived out in community, with others, and encourage believers to engage in the “one another’s,” in scripture.
Grace and Truth
Jesus came “full of truth and grace.” He administered both with sacrificial and unconditional love and we commit to as well.
Live Intentionally
Engage Consistently
Give Generously
Serve Sacrificially
MISSION
To encourage, empower, and equip those who help people find and follow Jesus
VISION
To change our culture by engaging in Jesus’ great command and commission through the multiplication of micro churches; connected by teaching, training and living for Jesus’.
