About Bridges

Our Mission, Vision, and Purpose

Vision:  

Bridges dreams of an ever-increasing number of Christ-following communities partnering with existing congregations to create positive social impact that transforms America.

 

Mission:  

To support a new type of leader for a new model of church for America.  Bridges seeks to provide the very best support to leaders seeking to change lives, start new ministries, and facilitate newly Christ-following Communities, especially among people who think church is irrelevant.

Purpose:  

Help leaders discover innovative ways to make disciples of Jesus who form new Christ-following communities across America. 

Whether our Bridge Leaders are helping pregnant teenagers, feeding the hungry or assisting the elderly, Bridges helps these leaders accomplish their goals by providing Assessment, Coaching, Training, and Support (ACTS). With your partnership, Bridges will realize its dream of an America transformed through an ever-increasing number of local Christ-following communities working for the common good of all.

Bridges: The People Changing America

I invite you to approach the reading of this book with anticipation, expectation, and hope. The stories, Scriptures, questions, and prayers in this book are waiting for you. There is a place and a time that the Spirit of God is planning to meet you. If the Spirit of God does meet you, your life will be changed.

May the Spirit of God meet you as you read, reflect, and take action. May the God who raised Jesus from the dead empower you to respond to what the Spirit is saying to you through the words of this book and through your reflections.
