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

Discipleship Journal Reading Plan (virtual, on your own)

Byron Moore
Would you like to read through the Bible in 2024? Or perhaps just the New Testament?

"Reading through the bible in community with others is one of the most beneficial life habits I’ve ever practiced. If you think you might benefit from the same habit, please join us as we read through the bible in 2024.

We will use the Navigators Bible Reading Plan which allows you to read through the entire bible in one year by just reading five days a week. The Navigators Bible Reading Plan features a reading from the gospels, a reading from the New Testiment, a reading from the psalms and other wisdom literature and a reading from the Old Testament. It takes about 15-20 minutes a day to read through the passages.

You can find the Navigators Bible Reading Plan at this link. 

The five-days-a-week format allows you to catch up, take a day off or focus on other spiritual disciplines on a given day.

If you are interested, contact me (Byron Moore) directly  and I will send you an invitation to join our GroupMe 2024 Read Through the Bible group. Those that join will be able to share reflections, questions or comments about each day’s reading. You may choose to comment (or not) on any given day, but it offers a format to read through the Bible in community with others.

Whether you join this group, or use another method, I encourage you to select some plan of reading the Bible daily in 2024."

“God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God's Word. We can't get away from it—no matter what.”
Hebrews 4:12-13 (The Message)

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?

1. 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.
2. We ask that a representative of the family attend an information meeting around the end of August
(there will be a make-up meeting too).
3. During the year we are available to give tips and equip those that would like more information.
