Teachers & Officers 2026

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to keep a church running smoothly. At Big Branch Church, we are incredibly grateful for the dedicated teachers and officers who faithfully volunteer their time and talents to serve. Their commitment and heart for ministry help make everything we do possible and allow our church family to grow and thrive.

"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work."
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
