Our Core Values
The Pillars that hold The Bridge
Believing
In a world where cynicism and doubt try to steal our hope, we are a
people who hold on to our faith (Hebrews 11) and exalt the truth of the
Bible. We believe that God is still speaking to His people. We honor
the preaching and study of the Word and the Holy Spirit's intent to
bring revelation to grow and shape our lives. We believe that
revelation and relationship are the primary ways God builds His kingdom.
Relating
We believe in relating the Gospel in a relevant way that connects its
power and truth to each generation and culture. We believe we are not
meant to live life alone, but in meaningful relationship with God and
each other. As a community we are called to relate and walk in a spirit
of unity with all Christians from different cultures and all walks of
life.
Investing
We are called to be a resource training and sending center to impact
the world around us. We live to give of our time, talents, influence,
and stuff. We believe that true living is in giving and serving beyond
ourselves. As people of faith we are called to see the seeds of
potential in people and invest in them to see God's purpose fulfilled.
We are called to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us
and seek opportunities to invest and advance His kingdom.
Discovering
God has great things prepared for us on our journey of life (2
Corinthians 2:9). Part of this great discovery is in finding our
purpose and who we are in Christ. We are called to equip leaders to
discover their spiritual gifts and grow in their relationship with God
to reach their full potential and destiny in God.
Going
We are a missional church called to reach our communities, city,
country, and the world. We believe we are meant to take God-life into
every aspect of life. As a church we are not designed to stay stuck
between four walls, but to "go" and have a positive effect on the
marketplace, the arts, science, politics, education, and all facets of
society. Our dream is that every able member should have a passport
ready for when the opportunity to "go" comes.
Experiencing
We are called to experience the dynamics of the Spirit in every part of
our lives, not just on Sunday! We believe it is possibly for God to do
miracles and wonders, and to bring healing and restoration to
"impossible situations." We believe radical praise and intimate worship
are keys to experiencing a great relationship with Him. We are called
to impart life truths that will help people experience victory in their
everyday lives.
