HERE AT THE BRIDGE, OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST THAT CELEBRATE THE GOSPEL IN WORSHIP, APPLY THE GOSPEL IN COMMUNITY, AND EXTEND THE GOSPEL IN MISSION.
We believe in the engagement of local missions, to meet the real and substantial needs of individuals and families within our community, and connect them to the message of the gospel through the impact of it being lived out in application. We celebrate the opportunity to love and serve others and to see the gospel extended in word and deed.

our local mission partners
vault fostering community
Vision + Mission: Vault Fostering Community exists to equip and provide resources to foster families as they meet the immediate needs of vulnerable children in our community.
Annual Engagement Opportunities
Summer Back-to-School Shoe Drive
This is a drive to collect new and name-brand shoes in a variety of sizes.
December Stockings for Singles
Single parents are often overlooked during the holidays as the focus is on making Christmas special for the children. The Vault wants to acknowledge SINGLE FOSTER PARENTS who have stepped into the foster care world all alone. Let’s partner with The Vault to make sure that these individuals don’t wake up to an empty stocking on Christmas morning. This small gesture will go a long way!
