MISSIONS TEAM

God has called us to be stewards of creation, responding to needs both locally and globally.  We are committed to the struggle for justice, love, and inclusiveness, with the example and teachings of Jesus Christ as our guide.  

​

At The Bridge we are committed to service to others.  We actively seek opportunities to support our communities - especially those marginalized and overlooked by society.  We feel strongly that it's not only important to give but to do.  We want to be a church that does more than write a check or drop off a box of canned goods - we want to do those things too, but perhaps more importantly, we want to be a church that serves!  

​

The first Sunday of each month we have a donation drive for a designated organization (see our schedule below).  Whenever possible, that donation drive will be combined with an opportunity to serve that same organization later in the month.  

​

We make a conscious effort to work with a wide variety of organizations.  Our hope in doing so is that each and every person at The Bridge has the opportunity to find something they feel passionate about - something they will want to continue supporting long after our monthly event is done. 

2024 SCHEDULE

Below you will find a list of some of the organizations we're scheduled to work with in 2024.  More details on these opportunities to give and serve are posted to the main page of this website, in our pre-service announcements, in our Facebook group, and in our weekly e-mail.  If you ever have any questions regarding upcoming events, please feel free to contact us.​
