The Bridge exists to provide hope by rebuilding lives, restoring families, and revitalizing our community.

Our Mission

The Bridge was born out of a desire to bring hope and healing to our community.

In order to love our neighbors well, we specifically engage in the following areas:

Community Care

We intentionally engage our community through relationship-based approaches to address long-term brokenness in our community. God didn’t create us to do life alone. When we are in close relationships with others we develop relationships of mutual transformation. Through intentional community engagement, we provide opportunities for individuals to journey together in the pursuit of wholeness as they apply God’s truth to their lives. 

Faith-Based Recovery

We believe that the restorative power of Jesus Christ can set people and our community free from the bondage of addiction. We walk alongside individuals while they establish or restore their faith and relationship with God while providing Christ-centered solutions to seek freedom from addiction and other life-controlling issues. We desire to provide a firm foundation and safe places for recovery and restoration.  


Counseling & Discipleship

Life can be difficult, but we’re passionate about helping people overcome their struggles by providing compassionate counseling full of grace and truth. We desire to come alongside those who are in seasons of sorrow, sickness, or setbacks in our community and join them on their journey. We work with mentors and counselors to provide Christ-centered mentorship and personal development to individuals and families. Our mentors and counselors help with marriage, family, grief, recovery, and other life struggles. 

Leadership & Job Training

Maintaining meaningful employment is critical in overcoming poverty, yet many individuals lack the resources and skill sets to remain employed or earn a livable wage. We believe education, encouragement, discipleship, and God’s power to transform a heart are essential components for success. We invest in rebuilding lives affected by poverty, addiction, and incarceration by teaching job skills and helping individuals gain and maintain meaningful employment.
