About Us
Our Beliefs
We all need a fresh start. The problem is that we want to be our own boss and we blow it. Then we gamble with Heaven and Hell by trying to somehow make our good deeds outweigh our bad ones. We judge others for their mistakes, but justify our own and still try to prove to God that we’re “good people.” That just doesn’t bring peace.
Here’s What does: Jesus died on the cross to completely pay for your sins. He was raised from the dead, and He wants to give you a new way of living. By His life-changing power He wants to make you good from the inside out. So ask Jesus – “Please forgive me for every one of my sins. I want You to come in and change my life with Your power. Teach me how to follow You for the rest of my life. Jesus, right now, I give you my life. Amen.”
The Bridge Church exists to Love people right where they are and lead them into a growing relationship with Christ. We do that by helping them to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Make A Difference.

What else do I need to know?
About Communion
We have a moment of communion the first Sunday of each month, during service. This is where we partake of the elements (a cracker and grape juice) as we reflect and remember what Jesus did for us. That he sacrificed his body on the cross, dying for our sins, so that we can have a relationship with him. This is open for anyone who would like to participate.
About baptism
We hold water baptisms a couple of times a year, sometimes during a Sunday service, and sometimes at the beach a little over 7 miles away. We do full submersion, and believe it is a symbol of your decision to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It doesn't save you, but simply lets the world know what you decided.
About Child dedication
Child dedications happen at least once a year, during a Sunday service. Parents stand before the church with their children ages newborn and up, committing to raise their children according to God's word and God's ways. We then pray over them as a church family in support of their decision, because we truly believe in the power of prayer and community. This is not a christening or even the child's salvation, but simply a commitment from the parents.
God is inviting us to create the future with Him and calling us into a new season of spiritual transformation as a church and renewed focus on reaching families and people in our community.
