Bridges Students

As followers of Jesus, we have a calling to share His light with others.  We can do this by following His example and His word.

Be a light: You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

Be kind: Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.   Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  (Ephesians 4:31-32)

Be compassionate: Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)

Be accountable: Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16)

Be challenging: Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)

Be Christlike: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.  The old has gone, the new is here!  (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Student Ministry Mission Statement

Igniting passion for Jesus in youth.

Student Ministry Bible Verse

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
Christ will shine on you.”

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

What We Believe as a Student Ministry

Bridges Students exist to ignite a passion for Jesus in our youth. Passion is something many adults have given up on or forgot even existed. We want students to have a passion for Jesus because that passion will sustain them through all of life’s trials. We want students to follow Jesus with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. In doing so, they will live lives that draw others to Jesus.
