The mission of Bridge Ministries
Mission Statement
We assist the church in making disciples of Jesus Christ and equipping them for effective ministry by providing Bibles, gospel-centered books, and faithful biblical teaching. Some of the ways we do this:
- Supplying affordable Bibles and gospel-centered Christian books and study resources
- Offering in-depth Bible studies and classes that provide opportunities to study Scripture and theology intensively for the purpose of applying that knowledge in daily life.
- Podcasts and articles that teach theology and expose people to books that will spur them to maturity in faith
- Conferences with knowledgeable Christian scholars and pastors.
- Partnering with like-minded pastors, scholars, church leaders and organizations for the building up of the Kingdom of God and equipping new leaders.
Values
- Christ: Bridge Ministries exists to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ—salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:6-9). In Christ we have been made complete, He is the head of all rule and authority (Col. 2:10).
- Catechesis: We provide biblically faithful teaching according to the whole counsel of God’s Word through written resources, Bible studies, podcasts and conferences (Eph. 4:13-15). We want Christians to have direct access to trustworthy instruction in English and Spanish so that they know what is true, why it is true and then how to faithfully share it with others.
- Community: Doing theology within the fellowship of believers. We encourage people to grow together and live out their faith within Christian community—especially emphasizing the importance of local church membership (Heb. 10:24-25). Theological head knowledge is not an end in itself, our goal in learning is to apply God’s Word to all of life so that it impacts head, heart and hands.
