Our goal is to build bridges (thus, 'The Bridge' Class) and forge strong friendships with each other as we continue to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ through the study of His Word and to foster active involvement in a community of people who live and love one another in a manner that displays God’s character to each other and the world around us. In other words, we seek to 'Gather our Hearts, Grow our Souls, and Give our Lives'.

Effective bridges are structures made up of many different parts all working in a unified design to bring together (connect) two points separated by some obstacle.

In the Bridge Class, there are many opportunities to be a part of 'the Bridge'. These opportunities are briefly outlined below, and it is our desire to see everyone prayerfully consider a role in the Bridge Class!

• Directors - Administer the activity of the class. Recruit, organize and equip the workers in the class.
• Teachers - Help members grow in their knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.
• Bridge team Leaders - Help provide connections between members through regular communications, prayer, ministry and gathering together in small groups.
• Outreach Coordinator - Make contact with visitors to The Bridge class. Coordinate with Bridge Teams to contact and cultivate relationships with visitors.
• Missions Coordinator - Help class members 'Give' through mission opportunities such as Houston Project, the Faith Center, adopting missionaries, and mission trips.
• Women's Ministry Coordinator - Facilitate opportunities for women to connect with other women through fellowship, Bible study and other church-wide women’s ministry activities.
• Men's Ministry Coordinator - Facilitate opportunities for men to connect with other men through fellowship, Bible study and other church-wide men’s ministry activities.
• Prayer Leaders - Lead prayer for class needs, write notes of encouragement and lead class prayer time.
• Fellowship Coordinators - Plan opportunities for class-wide fellowship and social activities.
• Hospitality Coordinators - Help create a welcoming class environment with friendly greeters and organizing Sunday morning refreshments.
• Secretary - Keep class attendance records on Sunday mornings and provide visitor information to outreach leaders.
• Communications Coordinators - Help class members stay informed of class activities, prayer needs and other communications through class website, emails and newsletters.

In WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace.

Each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of our troops.
