Welcome To TheBridge

Welcome to TheBridge! Thank you for checking out our web presence. We hope it is easy to navigate and informative. We also hope it inspires your imagination (and a desire to check us out for real!)

Jesus once talked about the kingdom of God, saying it was already here and not yet here. Same way with TheBridge; we are already here. But our community and therefore, our mission is not yet complete. Not without you! Stay with me here….

Imagine a people who became community around a common purpose of loving others and loving God. We studied together, served the community together, worshiped together. We are still growing in all these areas. Our worship gatherings began in my living room and have grown to three services in the coffee-house. Our help to the community is taking shape as we reach out to the homeless and at risk young people.

Imagine a nomadic community of faith who refuse to be defined or limited by the building in which they worship, choosing instead to gather in places and at times that fit our size and mission. Imagine a people who value cultural diversity, honest faith, spiritual growth and community care.

It’s more than great coffee, more than great music, more than great people, it’s about a great relationship with a great God through Jesus. It’s about peace and joy that transcends life’s circumstances. So come as you are, bring your questions, your hopes, your friends and see what God will do as we become the Body of Christ together. We are not yet complete with you. Just imagine what God can do with us. Together!

Help Us Feed the Homeless
We will be serving dinners to the indigent of the community on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the summer and early fall. The Hutchins estate fund has enabled us to provide funding for this effort. Volunteers are needed to help with serving and cleanup. We will be serving about 75 people each week. Please contact Barrett Richardson or Michelle Decena of the Risk Taking Missions Committee with any questions.
Serving from the Heart
The Serving from the Heart Class is now full with 24 participants from both campuses. The first session is this Thursday July 14th at 7:00 pm. Childcare is provided. Pastors Joe and Hank are pleased to be co-leading this study.
Changes to Children's Sunday School
Children's Sunday School is on summer break June - August. We will evaluate the demand for children's Sunday School in August. Children's Church, which takes place during the 11 o'clock service will continue to be held on all but the first Sunday of each month.
