God Blesses Our Yes

Since April 2024, Oklahoma natives Travis and Malana Bracht said yes to serving as senior leaders of Arise. Their heart is to see families strengthened and the Oklahoma City community flourish through the transforming truth of Jesus Christ.

They are committed to mobilizing the local church to function fully in its five-fold calling across every sphere of community life through three core priorities:

  • Deepening intimacy with Jesus and authentic connection with His people

  • Equipping disciples to walk confidently in the power of the Holy Spirit

  • Living with purpose by viewing every part of life as ministry

Travis is a licensed and ordained minister through North Palm Global, and Malana serves as a Certified Chaplain with Corporate Chaplains of America. They have been joyfully married for over ten years and are the grateful parents of four children: Gracia, Holten, Lincoln, and Stephen.
