Chris and his wife Tara met while attending Abilene Christian University and married in 1992. They have 3 adult sons – Skyler (wife Ale), Garrison, and Cooper.  Chris has authored three books – Little Buddy, Before Stones Become Bread, and Heaven On Earth: Realizing The Good Life Now.  In addition to serving The Branch, Chris is blessed to occasionally preach in churches and conferences across the country. Wherever he goes, his golf clubs aren't far behind.

Josh has served on our staff since the summer of 2015. He grew up in Flower Mound in a family that loved Jesus, and showed him who Jesus was from the beginning of his life. There were two major priorities as Josh grew up: Jesus and sports. This led him to play football and pursue ministry opportunities on campus at Bucknell University. During his time there, he met his wife, Abby, and they married right after he joined The Branch staff in 2015. They have a son, Beau, and a baby boy on the way.

David joined The Branch Church in 1983. He met his wife, Tina, here, and they were married in 1990. They have two adult children, Sam and Nikki, who grew up at The Branch. Over the years, the Teutschs have been vital to the life of this church. They’ve been Small Group leaders, teachers for various Kids, Youth, and Parenting programs, as well as key volunteers for events and weekend services. David served as an elder for several years before becoming the Executive Minister in 2015, when he left his career at Texas Instruments.
