MISSION: To invite students to know and follow Jesus.
HOW:

THE FAMILY is designed to reflect the heart of God. THE CHURCH is designed to accomplish God's mission. Combined, these two influences can make a much greater impact in the life of a child than either can make alone. ORANGE is what you get when red and yellow partner together. As a church, we want to partner with parents to be a powerful influence in their children’s lives.
Small Groups: Reaching Students in the Communities Surrounding Bridge Campuses
Large Group: Engaging students with the Gospel
Weekly Small Groups
Small groups that meet each week at each campus. Takeover small groups are designed for middle and high school students.

Students will experience growth in their relationships with peers and with small group leaders through conversation and connection.
Middle School: Sundays at 11 am
High School: Wednesdays at 6:30 pm
