About the Organization

Organization Description

The Bridge church was established in 2019 to be a church that would be welcoming to people who might not feel comfortable or welcome in a church setting, with the desire to be a perfect place for people who are not perfect. Our vision statement discusses our desire to reach our community with the unchanging message of hope that is found in personal relationship with Jesus. The leadership of The Bridge would like to focus that vision on serving the demographic of young adults. We would like to partner in ministry with leaders that are passionate about connecting with young adults and have insight on what the body of Christ can do to draw them into relationship with Jesus.

The Lead Pastor (full-time or part-time) of The Bridge Church will serve as the primary spiritual leader, teacher, providing vision, pastoral care, and leadership in alignment with our mission and values.
