Why BridgesUS?

Fewer people are attending church than ever before. This means there is a growing number of people outside the church walls who need to experience Jesus’ love. BridgesUS help to make disciples of Jesus and form new Christian communities. BridgesUS assists and mentors these leaders by providing Assessment, Coaching, Training, and Support (ACTS Services).

With the help of strategic partners from churches and businesses, BridgesUS empowers these leaders to help others holistically, including spiritually, and empowers them to start new Christ-following community groups that work for the common good.

Here is what they have to say. 

My life is focused on befriending people from outside the church and helping them to connect with God. Bridges put me in touch with other people who are doing the same thing so that we can learn from each other and encourage each other. –James Milley, Founder of Bridges

“I started by helping just one girl who was pregnant and in high school. I was soon overwhelmed with the need and the opportunity to help more young women. Bridges made it possible for me to grow a whole new nonprofit that champions the needs of these young women.”—Susan Fudge, previous Bridge Leader

I had pastored a church and led our presbytery. My wife wanted to relocate to her hometown in Indiana, and the positions available to me were part-time roles with two small churches. Bridges allowed me to raise additional funds to support my work in the community. After several years of connecting the churches with the community leaders whom I had started to engage and pastor, some innovative collaboration began. Eventually, the churches grew to the point that I no longer needed the funds I was utilizing through Bridges.”

“I wanted to take what I do professionally and help those in need. Bridges made it possible for me to do that without having to start my own nonprofit from scratch.” –Mike Veerman from Hope IT.”

“I had already been an immigrant pastor, a church planter, and an associate pastor at a large church. I realized that I wanted to spend more time with people who were disillusioned with church on a Sunday morning. Bridges made it possible for me to focus 100% on people who don’t attend church. It has been an amazing journey.”
