Baptism Class
Sunday, Dec 14th, 11am - SL3 meeting room
We believe water baptism is a public sign that a person has repented of sin, received forgiveness, died with Christ, and has been raised to new life through the power of the Holy Spirit. Baptism is also a public declaration of a believer’s incorporation into the body of Christ as expressed in the local church. Baptism at The Bridge is reserved for students 7th grade and above as well as for adults.
Our next baptism services will be during our worship services, January 4th, 2026. If you would like to be baptized, we ask that you attend the baptism class. We look forward to celebrating alongside you!
Generous in Every Way
Join us as a church to be Generous in Every Way this year!
2 Corinthians 9:11 tells us, "You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God." God has enriched us and we want to give back to thank Him! Here are two ways you can join in this holiday season:
1. Jacket Drive- Bring a new or lightly used youth or adult jacket to church on December 7th. Both youth and adult jackets will be accepted to go to support Church Without Walls and Plaza Iglesia!
2. End of the Year Giving- Support the ministries here at The Bridge through a year-end donation to continue the good work God is doing!
Night of Worship and Celebration
Wednesday, December 31st, 7-9pm
Join us as we close out 2025 together in worship and thanksgiving! This special evening we will celebrate the completion of our Bible reading journey and reflect on all that God has done in 2025. We’ll spend time in song, prayer, and testimonies, giving glory to the Lord for His faithfulness and Word that has guided us through the year.
