Branches Ministry Update!
Thank you for believing in this great vision to Reach others for Christ!
Prayerfully Consider Investing
in the Ministry at Branches!
Dear Church family,
We are so excited to share that because of the powerful heart of generosity and faith, Phase 1 of the REACH project is becoming a reality!
The steel is ordered, the foundation plans are being prepared, and in the new year our new Sanctuary/Gymnasium and lobby will rise on the property. Every bolt and beam is a reflection of your sacrifice and God’s faithfulness through you and this community.
To date, we have $473,026 in hand with over another $125,000 pledged, and gifts continue to come in at $10,000–$15,000 each month. That steady commitment is turning vision into reality and prayer into progress.
Where We Are:
Phase 1 Goal: $500,000
(steel structure, foundation, and new lobby connection)
Next Phases:
Phase 2: Interior build-out -mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, finishes, and furnishings
Phase 3: Site work -parking, landscaping,
signage, and outdoor gathering spaces
God is on the Move
Prayerfully Consider Giving a Year-End Gift to REACH As we celebrate the incredible progress of Phase 1, we’re also reminded that this is only the beginning. The new Sanctuary/Gymnasium shell, foundation, and lobby are major steps, but there is still significant funding needed to complete the interior, furnishings, and the next phases of our REACH vision. Would you take time this week to pray about giving a special year-end gift toward the REACH campaign?
ITS NOT TOO LATE TO GIVE IN 2025!
And if you’ve been giving monthly toward your pledge, we want to say thank you—your faithfulness is literally building the future of Branches.
If you’re able, would you consider continuing your monthly REACH giving into the new year as we move toward Phase 2?
Every dollar makes a difference, and every act of generosity is multiplied in the lives we reach the other six days. Thank you for participating in this commitment to be debt free as a church community.
As we approach year-end, would you prayerfully consider a special gift toward the Reach project?
Some families have given through stocks, investments, or other assets to maximize their impact as we finish raising this first phase. This is more than a building - it’s a movement of faith and generosity that’s already reaching people beyond Sundays.
Thank you for being a vital part of what God is building through Branches.
With gratitude and vision,

Rooted. Growing. Reaching.
Giving Thanks for all God is doing…
Because this building is just a part of what God is building at Branches.. We were so excited to welcome hundreds of visitors over this Christmas season... and this year alone, over 50 students and leaders have met weekly for discipleship and worship, and more than 30 young adults gather each Tuesday night to pursue Jesus together. We’ve celebrated over 65 baptisms this year, and welcomed more than 35 visiting families this fall, collected over 400 bags of food for our community, and raised thousands of dollars to provide Christmas toys, clothing, and presents for families in need. We are also so excited to have offered free counseling to over 50 people in our community and excited to be expanding this area of ministry. Our Men’s, Women’s, Senior Adult, Marriage, Student, Children’s, and Young Adult ministries have held countless gatherings, Bible studies, Vine groups, and outreach events. And our ministry partner, the Loveland Care Center has awarded our community with a special Community Service Award from partnering with them in this great effort. God is truly on the move, people are seeking deeper relationships with Him and with one another, and we are witnessing life change every single week with steady growth. Our monthly giving has stayed consistent and continuing to grow with our congregation! Praise the Lord!
Thank you for your partnership!
Pastor Shane
