Branch Concept
We are excited about how God is using our branch concept. To date, we have 5 branches with other communities praying and considering the possibility of becoming branches of our church. For more details on our branch concept, you may want to look here or click on the Branches button on the menu. Each branch has an informational page which you can select from the menu.
