General Info

When Does The Bridge Meet?

We are currently meeting at *The Gateway Center (On the corner of I-35 and North Texas Blvd.) Sundays at 10:30am. We also have Lifegroup (small group) meetings in many locations around the area according to interests and seasons of life.

Is There A Dress Code?

We aren't concerned about what you wear. God can touch your heart if you're wearing jeans or a suit, so wear whatever is comfortable to you. Most people will be dressed smart casual. Be yourself - cowboy boots, heels, or flip flops.

How Long Are The Services On Sunday?

Our services last about an hour and 15-20 minutes.

What Kind Of Music (Worship) Do You Have?

We have contemporary, upbeat music, with the words provided to help you sing. Some people stand, some dance, some sit, some raise their hands, and some kneel at times. Feel free to worship as your heart leads you.

And Your Children's Program?

At The Bridge kids aren't seen as the "church of tomorrow..." they are the "church of today." We have special nursery, preschool, and children's ministry that your kids will love. You can feel free to keep them with you in the service or let them experience the fun of KidZone.

What "Denomination" Are You?

We are a non-denominational faith community. See our What We Believe section, or check out our About Us page for more info.

FAQ

What Is Your Doctrine?

The best way to understand and learn about any community is to experience it on the relational level. We want you to experience "who" we are instead of what we say on a piece of paper. We can give you a statement of faith, but we would rather you experience it by the life we live. If you desire a more in-depth look at what we believe you can learn more about us on our about page, or also pick up Duane and Kris White's resources at the book store or online here.

What is The Bridge Membership Process?

At The Bridge we define "membership" by participation, so there isn't really a "process" per se. To be a part of our community all you need to do is come. While you are here, we'll do our best to serve, love and equip you on your spiritual journey.

What Is The Bridge Leadership Process?

There is a process involved in becoming a leader at The Bridge. The only reason to enter into leadership is if you desire to make a greater commitment to serve The Bridge Community. The process includes:

• To have committed relationship with Christ
• To be connected to at least on Lifegroup (small groups)
• Completion of Discovery Classes
• Committed to your ongoing personal growth, accountability and development as a believer
• Embrace the vision, values, and culture of The Bridge
• Embrace the leadership covenant.

Our Leadership covenant is summed up in one word. Investment.

Investing Time & Talent - Dedicating a portion of your time and your gifting to participate and serve in the life of The Bridge Community.

Investing Influence - Using your God-given influence to establish and develop significant relationships both inside and outside The Bridge Community.

Investing Your Resources - Supporting the Kingdom locally and globally by giving a tithe to the local church and offerings above as you purpose in your hear.

What We Believe

We believe in one God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things. (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the first begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), born of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:34), was crucified (Mark 15:39), buried (Matthew 27:59), resurrected (Matthew 28:2-4), ascended into heaven (Mark 16:19), and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man (Acts 2:32,33).

We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16)

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost. (2 Corinthians 5:10)

We believe in the personal salvation of all people who believe through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:21; John 3:16)

We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit (2 Thess. 2:13), which yields a renewed mind and transformed life.(Romans 12:2)

We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the atonement. (Is. 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24)

We believe in the power of Communion by partaking of the Lord's Supper with the symbolic use of bread and juice of the vine. (1 Cor. 11:24,25)

We believe in water baptism (Matt. 28:19; Matt 3:16), in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth (Acts 2:4), in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (1 Cor. 14), in the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12), and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). We believe that all of these are available to all believers.

We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thes. 2:19)
