Meet Bailey Burrus FARMERS BRANCH CONNECTIONS MINISTER

Hello! If I have not met you yet, my name is Bailey Burrus and I am delighted to serve as the Farmers Branch Connections Pastor here at The Branch. If I have already met you, know that you have been part of extending a warm feeling reminiscent of a “welcome home” to my family and I already.

My wife Abigail and I have been married for 5 years and thank God for our two daughters, Eliza and baby Joan. Abigail is from the Dallas area originally and I am from Austin. We met while at Seminary and decided to take things glacially slow… just kidding, we got married in a matter of months and uprooted our lives to pastor a church in Massachusetts. Besides learning what a furnace was, the Lord taught us what obedience through faith looked like; we painfully were called to that church to close it down. We then transitioned into government for a while before being called back into vocational ministry.

Our hope for The Branch Church is to believe expectantly that God will give all of us a passion for engagement and discipleship. We know that the Lord is not a God of halfmeasures, but one that asks for a decisive response to costly grace. We pray this for our church and are thrilled to grow alongside all of you.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:1-2)
