Churches

We love Jesus!
Jesus called us to be fishers of men.
The Bridge idea is about creating a place where we can meet people.  When we meet them, we have the chance to share the hope that we have in Christ.  When we share the hope that we have in Christ, we have the chance to connect them with a local fellowship of believers.  But this can only happen if our volunteer program and paid workforce are Christians that attend fellowships all over town.

“I want God to change my life. God is the one I want in my heart.”
- 7th grade girl

Your church can benefit from our program in several ways:

  1. We are a facilities resource for you.  You can rent our buildings and grounds at a discount to host lock-ins, retreats, meetings, concerts, etc. Click Here for rental information.
  2. We are an incubator program for relational evangelism.  Each week all over town pastors teach their congregants that each person should be getting to know others, sharing their lives and participating in a conversion effort.  The Bridge is the perfect place to send mature believers to connect with people.  After graduating from our school of evangelism, your people will then get to practice what they've learned at our place.  Eventually they will be leading people to Christ and to your Church and programs.
