about

what is the bridge?

The Bridge is a community of Jesus followers who are serving the City of Allegan and Allegan County in order to demonstrate the possibility of hope and God’s goodness.  We believe that following Jesus is not about waiting to go somewhere when we die but announcing and demonstrating God’s Kingdom here and now.

We want to be a community that reflects the love of Jesus. Everyone is welcome, with no prerequisites of church background or prior belief. Bring your faith and your doubt, your joy and your tears, your praise and your selfishness. We’re not perfect, but we’ll love you as best as we can.

We’re here to meet people where they’re at in their lives and relationships and to invite them to cross together with us in this journey of faith. We say, “cross together” because we know none of us has arrived and we all need others to help us discover who we are, who God is and His plan for our lives.

what do we do?

We understand that the Bridge (any bridge) is not a destination but a connection that is meant to be crossed. At the Bridge in Allegan we are crossing together to connect to God, to each other, to the community of Allegan and to the surrounding communities as God leads us to plant new churches.

We connect to God through our large group worship. 

We have a commitment to develop a genuine and life transforming relationship with Jesus Christ through powerful, contemporary worship, prayer, giving, and teaching and study of God’s Word.

We connect to each other through friendships, discipleship, and Missional Communities.

We have a commitment to sharing life with one another in community realizing that none of us has it all together. Choosing to reject our society’s pattern of isolation and to intentionally commit to inclusive community, sharing our lives and crossing together.

We connect to the community of Allegan through our 5th Sundays and other service opportunities.

A commitment to encourage our folks in a lifestyle of service and mission to others both individually and corporately. Providing resources and opportunities in the daily mission work of life.
