Q&A

Q. What do you want with me?
A. We are seeking 18-80 year old men and women with a heart for today’s young people— passionate followers of Jesus Christ willing to share their time, talents, and their lives. We’re looking for individuals with a strong desire to serve and a simple faith to share.

Q. What will I do?
A. The Bridge is an active and growing ministry with tons of opportunities to serve. We have tremendous needs throughout multiple areas—everything from office work, visual arts and music, to direct student interaction. You can volunteer at Autumn Ramp Park, The Foundry Music Venue, The Bridge Center, or miscellaneous other areas.  Don’t worry though, we will help you evaluate your strengths and desires in order to best place you in a satisfying and fruitful position. We know your time is valuable and so we ask for volunteers to simply commit to one short time each week along with a few times of formal training to educate and prepare you for effective service. We believe scheduled consistency yields the best results.

“For me, The Bridge is a good place to ride, and to learn, and to get in touch with God more.”

Q. What is in it for me?
A. Valuable missional training. Community and camaraderie. Spiritual fulfillment and satisfaction. Volunteering at The Bridge is an opportunity to grow in maturity and experience, but more importantly it is the opportunity to actively participate in God’s plan to redeem the world for himself and restore relationships back to him one at a time.
