The Bridge has pledged to connect with our community by providing ministry needs and planning neighborhood events.  As we grow, our community involvement will grow.    Please scan down this page to see if God would lead you to serve in another ministry capacity at The Bridge. Here are examples of how we are attempting to connect to other people and serve our community:    

1.  Open House -  Our new meeting place at #77 East Plaza was freshly painted and prepared to receive visitors that were invited by adverisements, word of mouth and newsletter articles.
2.  Hired Ministry Director for The Bridge -  Sept 2010We currently searching for a new Ministry Director
3.  Hot Dog Giveaway - August 2009.  We set up in front of Bob's Trading Post on Main Street, Havelock, and managed to talk to lots of locals about The Bridge.  I think they enjoyed the hot dogs, chips and drinks, too.
4.  Search for Significance - September 2009.  This course, facilitated by The Bridge folks, was about recovery and encouraging people that are going through some tough times.  The community was invited to participate and in fact a few did.    
5.  The Oasis- September 2009.  A few folks from The Bridge helped Oasis Ministries in their planning and also to help set up this community fair sponsored by The Oasis Ministries (our suite mates at East Plaza).  A few others helped serve a free BBQ meal to our neighbors in the community and offered to supply more chairs for the occasion.   
6.  City of Havelock's "Big Boy Toys" and "Chili Festival" - October 2009.  Friday night was cool and damp, but a group of folks from The Bridge set up our booth and talked to many folks about The Bridge.  We gave away a lot of promo items, too.  The same thing happened all day Saturday, only it was a clear and warmer day.
7.  Coastal Carolina Fair - October 2009.  The Bridge joined the associational wide effort to help the Coastal Carolina Fair fair ministry effort by delivering tables and chairs for the "meal tent" from The Bridge.  A few from The Bridge helped other church volunteers serve meals, distribute clothing and offer other ministries.  
8.  Washer & Dryer Donation- November 2009.  A good, used washer and dryer was donated from the Bridge to a needy family in our neighborhood.  
9.  Christmas Adoption - December 2009.  A family was selected for The Bridge to adopt for Christmas.  As of this writing, it's not too late to get a list of needed items and contribute to a family of four.  Please use the "Contact Us" tab above and ask Jean Nast how you can help. 
10. Experiencing God - January 2010.  Currently, this course is being further developed and facilitated by Jim Price (for more info, use the "Contact Us" tab above).  See "Calendar" tab for further information on this course that is offered to the community. 
11. Wash Bucket Ministry provides soap and other clothes washing items in a bucket for those in need.  The initial bucket also includes a "wash" card for the loal laundry facility.  
12.  The Fish and Loaves ministry has been launched.   This ministry feeds guests every Wednesday evening and has now exceeded 25 guests.    This has already resulted in a guest accepting Christ and is scheduled for baptism.  
13.  A new Bible Study has been launched.   Look under calendar and find the details.   People are coming together to study the book of John.   Pray about your involvement. 

If you have a musical talent, perhaps playing an instrument or singing, please "Contact Us" and we'll put you in touch with Mike, the music & worship minister for The Bridge.  He'll be able to talk to you about where you can help.  

Mentors are coupled with new Christians and others that need a little help in understanding thier faith.  If you feel called to this ministry and want to know about it, please "Contact Us" and we'll put you in touch with the right person.

The Bridge has space in its current location for a nursery/small children's room.  On Sunday afternoons, during the worship and teaching time, Sue Huffman and others volunteer for this ministry.  If you have a love for children and would like to know how you can help out in the children's room, please let us know by using the "Contact Us" tab.
