Branches is UCBR’s primary small group ministry, centered on personal growth, spiritual exploration and building deeper relationships. Groups meet monthly in a small, consistent circle and are led by trained facilitators, creating space for thoughtful conversation and meaningful connection. For many, Branches becomes an important way to feel more grounded and connected within the church.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to be part of this small group ministry, this is your chance to find out. We’re offering a Branches Sampler on Sundays, April 19 and April 26, during Middle Hour from 10:15–11:15 a.m. These sessions are a relaxed, no-pressure way to experience what Branches Small Group Ministry is like before deciding whether to join a group.

During the sampler, you’ll take part in a guided discussion similar to a typical Branches gathering and get a feel for how the program works. Whether you’re new to UCBR or have been here for years, this is a simple way to explore something new and see if it’s a good fit for you. Come to one session or both. We’d love to have you.
