Every student asks three major questions: “Who am I?” “Do I matter?” and “Does anybody care?”
Our youth ministry focuses on helping students answer these three questions by welcoming them into fun, creative environments to deepen their relationship with God and others.
Branch Youth Group in COVID-19
In-Person Youth Group
As long as regulations allow, Branch has moved to in-person youth group. In compliance with local regulations and under advisement from Knox’s Re-Entry Task Force, we are meeting in separate small groups. Middle schoolers meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 2:30 pm – 3:30pm outside on the Knox lawn. High schoolers meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month from 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm outside on the Knox lawn. Students are required to wear masks at all times and remain 6ft apart. Students are also encouraged to bring their own picnic blankets or camping chairs to sit on. Students must RSVP ahead of time at: https://reopen.church/r/RsLjdqq7.
Branch Programming
Sunday Mornings
On Sunday mornings (except for the first Sunday of the month), middle school and high school students join in worship with the larger church. After the children’s sermon, they are dismissed to the Northside House for middle school and high school specific small groups. On the first Sunday of the month, middle school and high school students remain in the worship service for the sermon and communion.
Sunday Nights
Branch youth group meets every Sunday night (from August to May) from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Students are invited to come hang out, play games, hear a message and spend time sharing together in small groups. On the first Sunday night of each month from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm, instead of regular Branch program, we have Living Room. Living Room is a low-key hang out focused on helping the students build deeper relationships with one another across middle school and high school and with their leaders.
