Bridge Youth is a place where students can grow in their faith, build both peer and mentor relationships, and learn what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. We believe parents play a key role in shaping a student’s faith, so our ministry is here to support families. We also know that none of us grows alone, which is why we want both parents and students surrounded by a community of caring friends and wise mentors who will encourage them as we grow together in living by grace and maturing into Christlikeness.

Our ministry rhythms are designed to reflect that. Twice a month on Wednesdays, we gather to encourage parents and to give students time either in DGroups with their peers and leaders or with the youth group at large. On Sundays, we both learn inter-generationally at 9:30am during Bridge Discipleship Hour as well as gather with the whole church for worship at 10:45am, because we want students to know they belong as part of the larger church family. We also have plenty of events and hang times throughout the year for Bridge Youth to gather for fun, service, retreat, and mission.

Our hope is to create a ministry that feels real, steady, and life-giving for students, parents, and the whole church. We believe the generations need each other as we grow in Christ and so we want our life together to reflect that! (edited)
