About

The Bridge is a place where everyday people allow Christ to use them to bridge the different cultural and ethnic aspects of our community together. Colossians 3:11 shows us that Christ has already removed the distinctions between us but in our broken world we as humans keep putting up barriers. At the Bridge it is our deepest desire to follow Christ and show our community that “…Christ is all that matters…”

Christian and I are church planters with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) planting a new work in Madison. We are so excited to be where we see God working and moving.  Our hope is to bridge the socio-economic, age, gender, and racial gaps. The Bridge is to be a church that reflects the community it is in. A church that loves its community and offers a facility for various uses.

 

“In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and He lives in all of us.” 

Colossians 3:11
