It all starts with Jesus

At The Branch, we quite strongly believe there are only two ways to live. Find out what we mean by looking at this online presentation of what Jesus has done. It is something that demands a response from us all.

That means that we treasure the Truth of God's unmerited grace and His kindness in sending Jesus Christ to die for sinners, and that we love to share the good news of salvation to all who will hear. The Branch has been established since 1999 and officially moved in to our new facilities in Kings Meadows in 2006.

What we believe

At the Branch Christian Church, we believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it is the final authority on everything to do with faith and life. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We also believe that about 2000 years ago God sent Him to earth to live a perfect life and to die on a cross so that all who trust in Him will be rescued from the punishment they deserve due to their rebellion against God. We try to tell everyone this good news so that through faith in Jesus, we can all have hope for the future. Find out more about what we believe.

Sunday at the Branch

In the 10am service we aim to make it comfortable for families and individuals. Children are well catered for with a crèche for little ones and a range of Sunday school classes for children aged 4 to 11. In the service the Word of God is preached, we sing praises to God and pray. After every 10am service we have a time of fellowship over a tea or coffee and we would love to have your company, and get to know you and your family.

Our Pastor

Pastor Fred van Hulst has ministered the Word and cared for the body of Christ at the Branch since its inception.

Our Elders and Decons

We have elders, deacons and other ministry leaders. Our elders and deacons are responsible for caring for God's people, both spiritually and practically.

If you would like to know more about our confessional beliefs and the ministries in this church please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to send you an information pack. If you would like to know more about Christianity and what it is all about, ask a member of the Branch or look in to taking a Christianity Explained course.

Life of the Body

We love to meet with each other on Sunday and whenever else we can. We meet during the week in growth groups to study the Bible, pray, evangelise and encourage each other in Christ. We are amazed at God's grace towards us and overflowing with thankfulness in being a part of the family of God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We love to share this gospel of joy and hope with everyone. To find out more about how we love and care for one another and our community (locally and globally) go to our Ministry Teams page.
