Who We Are

Be, Become, Build a Bridge

Our mission is simply: Spend time with Jesus, let Him change you, and then build bridges for others do the same.

Be with Jesus

Before we set out to do anything for God or others, we prioritize  simply being with Him. The metaphor from John 15 of the vine and branches is a  powerful reminder: apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. If we’re not abiding in Him,  all our efforts, no matter how noble, will be fruitless. (John 15:4-5, Matthew 11:28-  30)

Become like Him

As we spend time with Jesus, we begin to become more like Him.  This process involves growing, maturing, and learning to reflect Christ in every area  of our lives. Following Jesus is not just a one-time decision; it’s an ongoing journey  of being shaped by Him. (Philippians 1:6)

Build a Bridge

For others to do the same. John 15 tells us apart from Jesus, we can  do nothing. This implies there is something to do. When we’ve been with Jesus and  are becoming more like Him, we are compelled to build a bridge for others do the  same. (Romans 1:5, Matthew 28:19-20)

Core Values

In short, we believe the Bible-- from the front cover to the back! We encourage everyone who attends Bridge Church to take time out to dig deeper into the Word of God on their own to discover God's best plan for their life 

Our Core Values are the guides that keep us on track to where God is leading us personally and as a church body.

This is His story, and it is all for His glory!

Our reality is defined by the truth of God's Word.

We can only do this life through the power that HE supplies and the gifts that HE provides.

This is for our real life, not just our "church" life.

We can't out-give God, but that's not going to stop us from trying!

We choose to become comfortable in the realm of risk instead of risking everything in the realm of comfort.

Every age. Every color. Every background.

Freely we have received; freely we give... to our families, our community, and to the world.

We change from the inside out, but we approach that change from the outside in. Everything matters.

When we know who we are in Him, we can learn to live like Him.
