Serving Our Community

Jesus preferred to bless rather than judge others. Blessing others means being the tangible touch of God to them. The Mission Team of the Bridge cultivates this habit of being the tangible touch of God in our community by supporting local, national, and international mission partnerships.

 

We provide Covenant Partners and community members opportunities to find meaning in life through Christian service and tap into their quest to find a God-given purpose.
