what should i wear?

There’s no dress code here! You can see photos of people attending some weekend services at The Bridge in the rotating photo section above to get an idea of what some typically wear—however, above all we want you to feel welcome to join us how you are most comfortable.

what are the core beliefs of the bridge church?

The Bridge Church is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA). You can read about the core beliefs we hold in accordance with the EFCA here.

is communion received at every service?

We receive communion about once per month. By partaking in communion regularly, we take time to remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross; by choosing certain weekends to celebrate His love for us in this particular way, we hope to encourage a fresh perspective on this practice every time we come together for it.

We recently made a transition from passing plates to share the elements (bread and cup) for communion to prepackaged communion sets that contain both elements. On the weekends when we celebrate communion together, you will receive one of the prepackaged sets upon entering the service.
