Mission Statement
Our mission is to share Christ's love with others while reaching out to the impoverished community as well as helping bridge the gap by helping join churches and other groups in serving together.

We highly value relationships and seeking to know and encourage any skills, gifts, and resources already established in commonly looked over communities.
Description
The Bridge Ministries has a variety of ministries that seek to create community and serve the impoverished community. Our regular ministries include:
- a weekly client choice food pantry on Thursday evenings. (families get to select the foods that they are taking home to their families). avg. of 1400 families annually served.
