Gospel Centered and Missional

A Gospel-Centered church is defined by what God has done and is doing, not by the activities of people.
The Church is God’s People (who we are) saved by God’s Power (what He has done and is doing) for God’s Purposes (the good works he created us in Jesus Christ to do)-- (JV-SOMA).

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first
and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous
shall live by faith."
Romans 1:16-17

We center all of our activities around the workings of Christ and the Gospel to provide God glory. That is why we were created. Our goal is never to convert people to The Bridge. Our goal is see people converted and discipled by the Gospel and play a role in them living out God's purposes on mission. They can, then, BE THE CHURCH on mission with the Gospel in every aspect of their lives.
