What Branches Church - www.BranchesChurch.us does

Branches Church is a non-denominational Christian church founded in 2012 and headquartered at 6541 Arborcrest Rd in Loveland, Ohio. It operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious organization holding Sunday worship services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., with live streaming and an archived sermon library. The church is organized around a 'Rooted, Growing, Reaching' theological framework and serves a congregation segmented across the full demographic lifecycle, with branded sub-ministries: Forged (men), The Grove (women, including Sprouts young moms), Legacy (seniors), Purpose (young adults), BSG (junior high and senior high students), and The Climb (children, birth through 6th grade). Additional programming includes marriage ministry (SYMBIS counseling, The Ascent experience), baptism, Rush Kids Camp, small group discipleship (Vine Groups/Rooted Experience), and a local/global missions portfolio.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a Squarespace-hosted website, live streaming integration, an online giving platform, an e-commerce merch storefront, and integration with RightNow Media for access to over 20,000 Bible study videos. Operational outreach is handled via SMS text-to-join shortcodes and email newsletters. Children's programming uses the third-party Orange Curriculum. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or developer-facing infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through voluntary tithes and offerings (tax-deductible contributions), supplemented by merchandise sales (apparel, accessories, drinkware, stickers). Customer-facing acquisition occurs primarily through community referral, organic social (Instagram @cincybranches, Facebook), in-person events, and word of mouth, with distribution via the physical campus, live stream, RightNow Media, the merch store, and community group meetings. Leadership includes a teaching pastor, a community pastor, and dedicated ministry leads across each demographic sub-brand.
