Local Bridging
There are several ways to be a bridge of faith to someone in the community each month. Faithbridge has established relationships with several local ministries to provide ongoing financial and service project support.
Additionally, we move into the community to make a big impact as a church to make share Christ love by Takin’ It to The Streets. This bi-annual event provides a variety of projects to choose from and is an initiative for all Faithbridgers to jump in and get involved in serving the least, last and lost of our community in just one day!
