B ranham Family Next Generation is all about family. Their faith in God, and their strong values are at the core of their ministry. The group consists of Ron Branham, his wife Debbie, his son Tyler, his daughter Katie, Katie’s husband Stephen Phillips and honorary family member Eddie Mason.

The Branham’s travel year round and keep a busy schedule holding revivals across the country. They are so much more than a gospel-singing group. They are an evangelistic team. With a full live band and anointed preaching the group projects energy and excitement on the stage. Their songs of hope and encouragement with an emphasis on soul winning are a tremendous blessing to so many.

The group started in 1952 as the Ray Branham Family and did extensive traveling with Ray Branham preaching and ministering in song with his family. Ray has since retired and his son Ron and family have carried on in the ministry. Branham Family Next Generation has held on to the traditional sounds associated with the Branham Family and merged them with their own distinct flavor to create a unique style of progressive southern gospel music.

Branham Family Next Generation is excited about the future, as God continues to open new doors. They have been privileged to minister to thousands of people, and their travels have taken them all across the country. The Branham’s have held revivals everywhere from Key West, Florida to Ketchikan, Alaska, and their unique style of ministry has been a tremendous blessing to so many. Branham Family Next Generation is working hard to promote the gospel of Jesus Christ and spread the good news that Jesus saves. The ministry in word and song continues through the Next Generation.

Ron Branham is a gifted singer and minister of the Gospel. In his early years, he traveled with his mom and dad touring in the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. In recent years, Ron has continued carrying the torch ministering the Gospel through song and scripture. As an anointed and encouraging speaker, he has a unique ability to visually bring the Word of God to life. He thrives to see souls saved and lives changed through the power of the Holy Spirit, because to him it’s more than just a song.

Debbie Branham is a dedicated musician, singer, and songwriter. As a thorough organizer, she is undoubtedly the glue that holds the ministry together. Being a solid prayer warrior, Debbie contributes more than talent to the group. Thankful for her Christian heritage, she has many wonderful memories of working in church with her family. She attended Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee where she traveled and sang with the Lee Campus Choir. Later, she furthered her studies at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. As Ron always says, “There are three things I like about her. She’s pretty to look at. She can fry chicken, and she can play the piano.”

Debbie currently lives in Jasper, Georgia with her husband, Ron, of over 25 years. She works with kindergarten students in the Cherokee County School System.

Tyler Ray Branham is an exceptional musician, producer, and band leader. Following in the steps of his grandfather, Reverend H. Ray Branham, Tyler has a genuine passion for music. An award-winning musician, he is most noted for his superb drumming ability. Although he is a student of his craft, Tyler’s focus is on seeing lives changed. Blessed with an anointing, his abilities extend well beyond the scope of music. Prior to each service, he regularly leads the band in prayer and devotions. In contrast to his serious side, as a natural comedian he offers nonstop comic relief while on tour.

Tyler has a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Southern Polytechnic State University. He is now a Computer Software Engineer at The Scheduling Institue in Alpharetta, GA. He also enjoys teaching drum lessons. With his full schedule, he takes a limited number of students. He is extremely excited to get back in the studio in the coming months.

Katie is enjoying being a newlywed. She and Stephen are currently working on new arrangements and gathering material for new projects. They are making plans to be in the studio soon!

Stephen Phillips is a remarkable musician, vocalist, songwriter, and producer.
