We are striving to build a church that is based on what the Bible teaches about the church.
To that end, we hope and pray that The Bridge Church will be known by these seven priorities:
1) The Clear Gospel, 2) Faithful Preaching, 3) Deep Discipleship, 4) Passionate Worship,
5) Bold Prayer, 6) Constant Evangelism, and 7) Urgent Missions.

#1 THE CLEAR GOSPEL
We have a passion to be unmistakably clear about the Good News of Jesus Christ because it is the only story that (1) makes sense of reality, (2) reveals God’s final victory over evil, and (3) brings true peace with God by the forgiveness of our sins through the finished work of Jesus' Christ's death and resurrection. |
#2 FAITHFUL PREACHING
We want to be known as a church where the Bible is faithfully proclaimed verse-by-verse every Lord's Day. By opening God's Word and looking carefully at what it says and how it applies to our lives, we hope to grow in love for God and for His people. |
#3 DEEP DISCIPLESHIP
Through our Worship services, our Sunday school classes, our Gospel life groups, and our Wednesday night disciplship ministries, we strive to be always spurring one another on to follow Jesus more faithfully. We never want to be a church where our members can be anonymous. |

#4 PASSIONATE WORSHIP
We were made for worship. We owe God our hearts being fully engaged in worship in every aspect of our lives. As we shepherd our families, go to our jobs, gather to hear God's Word, and raise our voices in song, we want to be driven by a passion to glorify Jesus Christ. |
#5 BOLD PRAYER
We believe that our God delights to hear the prayers of His people and that He delights to answer them. Because of that, we want to be a church that prays bold prayers to Him, trusting that God always works all things together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. |
#6 CONSTANT EVANGELISM
A natural part of our Christian lives should be sharing the Good Newsof Jesus Christ to our family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. We want to be constantly about the work of evangelism and we want to be known as a people who go out of our ways to build relationships with people who do not yet know the Gospel. |
|
#7 URGENT MISSIONS
We believe the marching orders Jesus gave to The Bridge Church is to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples of all nations. Because of that, we want to be urgently engaged in the great work of international missions. Through personal and responsive relationships with missionaries in several different countries, we want to keep the urgent task of missions at the forefront of our hearts, as we support, send, and go to the ends of the earth with the hope of Jesus Christ. |
