“If you are looking for authentic hearts mixed with love for students that can lead a crowd to worship God in spirit and truth…bring BRANCH. We have had them the past two years at camp and both times, Flight 360 Student Camp has been topnotch. From the get-go, BRANCH set a tone and pace for what real worship is all about and our students joined them on an amazing journey into God’s presence each night. We saw over 200 decisions this past week with BRANCH at the helm of leading worship…they are amazing at what they do…only outdone by God and what He can do!

Asst. Executive Director of Highland Lakes Camp
“It was wonderful having Branch here with us for Journey Youth Camp. Our campers loved them. Their music was awesome and they had a genuine spirit of worship. On the evaluations we received from the campers – may mentioned how much they enjoyed and appreciate the band interacting with the students throughout the week. That makes wonderful memories for countless youth. Our sound/media tech guys really enjoyed working with Steven….which makes everyone happy.”

“I can’t say enough about Branch. I am very picky when it comes to putting people in front of my students and depending on them to lead my students in worship. I would recommend these guys to anyone. They have genuine hearts for leading students into a worship experience. They also were tremendous in just hanging out with the kids and forming some relationships when they were not on the stage. As a youth pastor, I just really appreciate their servant’s heart, and willingness to lead in so many ways. They ministered to all of us. What a blessing they were, and will be for our student ministry. Thanks Steven, Rachel, Josh, and Isaac….. I appreciate the way all of you allow God to use you in so many ways.”

Student Ministry Director, Hardin-Simmons University
“After Branch played at one of our chapel services, the speaker of the morning stood
up and went through a list of bands he had followed in services and all the places their music had taken his mind. He then said Branch had led his mind to worship God. That’s a perfect summary of the talents and abilities of this band. They are all incredible musicians with lots of personality, but in a time of worship they step out of the way and lead students to God. I’ve gotten the chance to see Branch play in several settings and in each they have impressed me with their ability to adapt to their surroundings and minister to the students, (or even seminary professors) that are present. Each individual in the group is of great moral character and they all work hard to be unified in their vision to
lead worship and help others love God and people. They are incredibly professional and easy to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone hoping to bring a worship experience to their group.”

“The purpose of this letter is to provide my personal and professional recommendation for Branch. This group of talented musicians and devoted Christians has been a major factor in the development of our regions premier youth outreach event called Fields of Faith. They have a great ability to engage young people and bring a powerful message about Christ. We have been fortunate to have them support our ministry and they are
frequently requested by area young people to provide music. Branch would be a tremendous addition to your program and they have my highest recommendation.”
Matt Roberson
Youth Minister, FBC Marlow, OK
“There are so many good bands out there, and Branch is certainly on that list. However, what sets this band apart is the connection they have with those being led. The band really makes an effort to know those that they come into contact with. It is really what sets them apart. They make an effort to talk to my students, and they let my students get to know them personally. They match up with the best I’ve heard, musically. But when it comes to connection, showing love, and being involved in the lives of those they come into contact with, Branch really takes it to another level. I would highly recommend them to ANY event you have coming down the pike.”
Douglas Runkles “Runks”
Speaker In Focus Ministries
“Branch is one of the best worship bands out there! They can rock it out as well as lead students into a deep and sincere worship experience. They are a great band on and off the stage in that they hang out with students and truly invest themselves in the lives of students. They love Jesus and they love teenagers and it is reflected in their music and their investment in the lives of students. If you bring Branch in for your event you won’t be just bringing in a band, you’ll be bringing a ministry team! “
Brian Marberry
Youth Minister Zoar Baptist Baton Rouge, LA
“These are some terrific guys. I was able to bring these guys in for a camp and they did a great job. They have my highest recommendation. They are anointed by the Lord, and they love Jesus.”
Steve Wilson
Youth Minister in Baton Rouge, LA
“Branch is one of the most ministry minded bands I have ever dealt with during my time in youth ministry. Their ministry reaches far beyond the stage. They are the real deal.”
