A few of the convictions that unify our efforts:
- God loved us first, before we ever did anything to deserve it.
- We accept the message of the Bible that points to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus – it really is good news!
- All people matter to God.
- An authentic encounter with God will change your life.
- Transformation happens best in a relationally safe place – we call it “community.”
- The church should be culturally relevant, creative, and doctrinally sound.
- Authenticity frees people and glorifies God.
- Those in the church should be equipped for ministry and set free to influence and encourage their world, one life at a time.
- Ministry happens best in teams.
- God has called the church to grow and reproduce other healthy, growing churches.
In short, the reason we do what we do is that we believe the “greatest story ever told” is actually true!
The Bridge Community is a church in the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA). The C&MA is an evangelical denomination with a major emphasis on reaching out to people all over the world. It maintains a “big tent” stance in reference to many doctrinal matters, encouraging believers of diverse backgrounds and theological traditions to unite in an alliance to know and worship Jesus Christ and to help others come to know him.
