Together we’ll Launch 100’s of new Discipling Communities led by trained Bridge Leaders to reach People outside the walls of the Church.
Learn how you can Partner with Bridges to fulfill the Great Commission of Making Disciples, while still being part of a healthy growing local Church.
We believe we can solve Church outreach problems by developing & empowering everyday Christians
to start small groups to serve “unChurched” & “de-Churched” people in their Communities
“Go and Make Disciples of All Nations, Baptizing them … and Teaching them”
Too many good people of Faith struggle to personally fulfill God’s call to “seek & save the lost“.
BRIDGES provides a support platform to help everyday Christians live out Jesus’ relational model for Making Disciples through Small Groups that Connect People to Community and GOD.
Our Partners Experience the Blessings of Fruitful Stewardship & Labor as they see People’s Lives Transformed through a Personal Relationship with Jesus.
Introducing BRIDGES Membership
Membership Moves the Mission
Bridges Membership is a new sustainable model for supporting innovative Lay-Leader led micro-church ministries, that enables us to solve discipleship & outreach challenges, to reach people beyond the walls of a traditional church. It gets us back to building biblical Acts 2:42-47 Communities of Believers that meet in people’s homes, workplaces, public places, and online. People can Belong to a Small Group of like-minded people as they explore a personal relationship with Jesus. We’re able to not just “Share” Jesus but “Show” Jesus by the way we Love & Serve others.
By committing to regular monthly giving you enable us to better plan, budget & support Disciples who want to make a real difference in People’s Lives & Communities. It’s a Win-Win-Win; We’re able to Grow our Services to provide much needed Assessments, Coaching, Training & Support to equip more Bridge Leaders to build Bridges-to-Jesus. Our Financial Partners get to see the fruits of their giving & R.O.I. with real-life stories of transformation, while enjoying access to our vast Library of Resources; from Leadership Training, Bridges Events, Sermons & Biblical Teaching you can apply to every area of your Personal & Professional Life.

Here’s what people are saying about BRIDGES
Randy Lovejoy
” I think Bridges facilitates the kind of cutting edge ministry that is needed at this time which the traditional church struggles to provide.“
Rev. Jeff Ritchie
” For years I have applauded and advocated for Bridges. You have filled a niche in US church planting.“
Betsy Hall
Bridge Leader
” Bridges turned my ideas upside down. Doing church outside of church buildings is imperative. God is at work inside of Bridges and outside of the church walls.“

What our Partners are saying about BRIDGES
Norm Gordon
Germantown, MD
“ Bridges has provided so much: training, support, a fantastic coach, assessment. But by far the greatest gift to me has been its perspective: No other organization I know understands better what it means to be a missionary in North America.”
Beth Teran
Sierra Madre, CA
“ The (Unmasked Hearts) event was a 10/10!! ”
Loretta Davis
“ Bridges is focused outside the church, and doing work in the larger community. We are still in the beginning stages, and it is unique in its model and reach. Givers like to give money to growing, newer organizations that have room for growth, rather than older, more inflexible models. Bridges has encouraged me to reach out to Muslims to get them through friendships to learn about Jesus, but not pressure them to join an existing church. ”

Here’s How your BRIDGES Support Changes Lives
BRIDGES was there for me through a really dark time in my life
It wasn’t that long ago that a social worker removed 15-year-old Maria from her home, placing her in a group home with other teenagers in a new city. What was a very serious situation could have taken a dark turn, but that didn’t happen. Instead, Maria was able to reach out to Bridges for help.
Through Bridges, Maria secured a seat in an online Website Building class taught by Bridge Leader Mike Veerman. She was a standout student — so much so, that Mike hired her to help him teach the next class of young people. Now Maria works for Hope IT (when she’s not making straight A’s in school). She also started taking classes at a local college and is planning to become a doctor.
Maria’s story is an example of resilience, hope & God’s mercy coming to bear through a committed Bridge Leader, and a learning opportunity that provided a bridge to new life, relationships & renewed hope. We are grateful for leaders like Mike, who help make such a difference in the lives of others, and for people like Maria, who inspire us to keep moving forward.

A personal note of Thanks
I’m so grateful for You and also thankful for your generous Partnership in this vital work. I Dream of the day that Bridges is supporting 500 Leaders, even 1000 Leaders! And it is going to take a lot of work with intentional focus. But it’s worth it so see Our Dream of an America Transformed through an ever-increasing number of local Christ-following Communities working for the common good of all.
