Hello! We are glad you are here! Connecting with one another in authentic community lies at the core of our mission to become and make disciples, because we are convinced that life change happens best in the context of relationships. At The Bridge, we pursue these relationships through Groups, equipping classes, weekly Bible studies, and one-on-one discipleship. We desire to continually raise the value of community, hoping that every follower of Jesus who calls The Bridge home will pursue relationships that challenge them to grow deeper and more complete in Christ.

Although we have many Groups at The Bridge, check out the Groups that have openings below! We encourage you to join one (or two!) today by filling out the form here!

FRIENDSHIP families 

Bridges International 
What is a Friendship Family?

An international student is matched with an American family who welcomes him or her into their home at least once a month for dinner or some kind of group/family activity, to allow them
the opportunity to feel “at home”, in a completely new country.

What are the expectations?

We ask that a family meet with their student at least once per month. It’s simply “doing life” with them
such as having a meal together, going shopping, or taking their student to a child’s sport or school event.
During the year we are available to give tips and equip those that would like more information.

1:1 Discipleship

If you are interested in 1:1 discipleship at The Bridge (discipling or being discipled), please let us know! This is open to men and women. 

Perspectives class

We are excited to let you know of an equipping opportunity in our area that's right around the corner. Some friends at Calvary Baptist Church are hosting a class called Perspectives that is designed to help align our vision of global missions with God's. A number of people in our church have taken this course over the years, and they all attest to the impact it had in reshaping their understanding of scripture and missions.

Perspectives is an intensive 15-lesson discipleship course about God's global purpose, immersing participants in the story of God fulfilling His promises from four vantage points or “perspectives” — Biblical, Historical, Cultural, and Strategic.

This class will meet on Monday evenings starting on January 13. Because we believe so strongly in this material, The Bridge is offering a 50% reimbursement for members who complete this course. For more information and to register, click here!
