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.

Tim and Jeanne have been members of The Branch Church since August 1991. They were married in 1981 and have three adult children. Their daughter Heather and her family are a part of the Branch today, while Timothy and Courtney live in Los Angeles. Between the two of them, Tim and Jeanne have served as volunteers in practically every area of ministry The Branch has to offer. Jeanne was the Children's Minister for a season and Tim has served as a Deacon, Elder, Executive Minister, and now Campus Minister at the Farmers Branch Campus. Tim plans to retire from full-time vocational ministry at the end of 2022, and we are incredibly grateful for his years of faithful service among us.

Ryan began his ministry working with middle school students in 1994 while he was still an undergrad at East Texas State University.
