New Philadelphia

New to The Branch?

We would love to have you join us! We are located in the center of New Philadelphia. There is signage on our front door, and parking can be found in the lot right next to the building, or on the street. There are two entrances, one in the front, and one on the side directly from the parking lot. If you have questions, feel free to contact us here.

What to Expect

Every Sunday we have worship services and a discipleship training hour (sometimes known as Sunday school). In addition, we offer childcare for ages birth-5th grade for both services. Discipleship training has multiple classes that are open for you to take part in and have a more relaxed feeling that encourages group discussion. Children and students can be checked in when you enter at the sign-in desk located in our lobby. Our worship services are relaxed, come as you are, dress how you'd prefer! We also have some fellowship time prior to our worship service in the lobby where you can find coffee and snacks available for all!

FAQs

What services are offered for children?
We have a nursery available for children from birth to two years that is available for both discipleship training and our worship service.

During discipleship training (prior to our main worship service) we offer three age appropriate classes. During this hour the kids will walk through the story of scripture. They are on a three year cycle so they will have gone through the whole story of scripture twice by the time they are ready to join our youth group!

For students aged three years old all the way up through fifth grade we have "Kids’ Church" that takes place simultaneously during our worship service on the first second and third Sundays of the month. Children attending Kids’ Church will be dismissed from the main worship service after the first worship set has been sung together. During this time they will follow along with what the adults are learning in the sanctuary. Our teachers take the same passage of scripture or topic and break it down to a child's level. This encourages a culture of family discipleship.

In addition we also have a small sensory room and support volunteers. If your child has sensory needs and you'd like to attend, please contact us here so that we can be prepared to serve you in the best way!
How do I check my kids in?
You can check your kids in at the desk in the lobby in front of the sanctuary. You will see signage there to guide you. Our staff will take all of your information and make sure your children are well taken care of!

Your children's safety is of our utmost concern! All volunteers and staff that work with children are required to have a background check done prior to working with children.
What about TBC Youth?
TBC Youth is the name for our youth group - ages fifth grade through high school seniors. On Sunday mornings, TBC Youth has their own separate discipleship training class that follows what the adults are learning in the main biblical study discipleship training class. Those students are then invited to join our main worship service with the adults.

For more information on TBC Youth, when and where they meet, what it looks like, and how to get involved, check out this page here.
Are childcare services and children's classes offered every week?
Fourth and fifth Sundays of the month are "Family Sundays." You will see kids participating in different parts of the service, and they join their families for the whole service. We do not have kids’ church on these Sundays.
What is "discipleship training?"
Simply put, discipleship training is a bible study. There are usually multiple classes to choose from that range from expository biblical studies, or topical classes. These classes typically are a lot more interactive and encourage (but don't require) your involvement. Discipleship training takes place each morning from 9:30am-10:15am.
How long is the service?
Typically our worship services last 60-75 minutes.
