BRIDGE IS an inner-city organization with a dream. Everyone, in every neighborhood, should have the opportunity to reach their God-given potential. Our mission is to transform the city, one neighborhood at a time. We use a holistic approach to develop healthy, thriving, cooperative neighborhoods. Our five main areas are: lighthouses, family support, community events, partnerships and church.
FAMILY SUPPORT - PROGRAMS
Bridge recognizes that communities are only as strong as the individuals and families that live in them. The North Fort Pierce residents are part of our extended Bridge family. We get at the heart of the family structure by creating consistent, interactive venues to connect and engage families. Our goal is to provide a strong support network that can help address gaps in family structure and character development.
COMMUNITY BUILDING - EVENTS
Neighbors who know each other are more likely to help each other. At Bridge, we host community outreach events. These events help to engage residents and as neighbors interact with each other, a natural support network for the community is built. Our approach also allows us to help the community understand what types of programs they can access for different services available.
HOUSING - A LIGHTHOUSE IN THE CITY
Through its partnerships, Bridge renovates and places families in homes that become Lighthouses. Lighthouse families become neighborhood advocates by coordinating positive community-building activities. A Lighthouse is a safe and encouraging home where a harmonious relationship of residents works alongside one another to build a strong neighborhood and a great city. Placing families in Lighthouses is a simple strategy to being the eyes and ears of the community.
PARTNERSHIPS - THE ESSENTIAL PIECE
Our partner businesses, churches and individuals are the powerhouse behind everything that we do. We believe that increased collaboration is essential in transforming the inner city. Volunteers help with everything we do in community building events, family support programs and housing renovation. Bridge's efforts, as well as the economic impact, are multiplied through the generosity and commitment of our partnerships and volunteers.
BRIDGE CHURCH
We believe the local church is the hope of the world. By sharing the gospel and creating disciples, Jesus will build a local expression of the church for the unchurched, dechurched, and those who need a church. The church is a
"womb to tomb" family, where new believers can experience life-long relationships, encouragement and support, and where each person's gifts, passions and calling are revealed and released as they learn what it means to follow Jesus daily.
God has called us to be a bridge in our city and around the world so that people can experience Jesus! Our dream is to see a great city, one neighborhood at a time. At Bridge Church, we exist as Radical World Changers who Gather, Grow and GO so that people and places all over the world are impacted by the radical love of Jesus Christ.
