About The Bridge Church

OUR MISSION

Our mission consists of four parts: know God, find freedom, discover purpose and make a difference. We believe that this is what God wants each of us to do personally and put into action as a community.

KNOW GOD

We consider reaching people who do not know God personally to be one of our greatest responsibilities.

Our Sunday services are for people at all stages in their spiritual journey but are primarily designed for those who haven’t attended church before.

In other words, we believe God has called us to be a church that unchurched people love to attend. We have created our Sunday services to be full of powerful worship and practical teaching.

FIND FREEDOM

We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. Growth Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together.

God created us to live in community with others, and it is only then that we can experience the full life He intends for us.

DISCOVER PURPOSE

We think that God created each of us on purpose with a purpose and that when we discover what that purpose is, we can begin to live life with more meaning and joy! 

The Bridge Growth Track is designed to position you to live out your calling as a follower of Jesus while at The Bridge.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

All of us were created by God to make a difference in the world around us. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others for the better.

We believe your life gains meaning when you find, develop, and fulfill your purpose.

OUR VISION

Rebuild. Repair. Restore.

We believe that God has called our church to be a change agent in our region. Our vision is straight from this verse in Ezra- to be people that come together to rebuild, repair, and restore our region. We love how God has called us into rebuilding personal lives, repairing relationships, and restoring the kingdom of heaven here on earth.

“The king should know that the people who came up to us from you have gone to Jerusalem and are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city. They are restoring the walls and repairing the foundations.” —Ezra 4:12
