Local Mission
Therefore GO and MAKE DISCIPLES of ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Matthew 28:19
Our goal as a mission team is to equip all God’s people at The Bridge Church to innovatively take the gospel to our neighbourhood, networks, and nations.
We want to equip all our members to know & share their testimony and to know & try our 5 steps of evangelism – you’ll find these in our resources section, click on the toolbar below!
We run Explore courses every term (Alpha or Christianity Explored) as well as regular events throughout the year and mission action weeks – click on the toolbar below for more Explore information
Our “Read with Me” program equips our members to read the bible one on one – click on the toolbar below for more info.
At Church, we believe that baptism is a significant symbol of the Gospel and of belonging to Christ’s spiritual body. click on the toolbar below for more information about baptism.
Our Explore courses are free courses designed to give you the time and space to consider the big questions of life and to explore the life of the person at the heart of the Christian faith – Jesus Christ.
Everyone is welcome, from the regular church attender to the convinced atheist.
You do not need to know anything about Christianity, you can ask any question you like or you can just come along and listen, and you will not be asked to pray, sing or read aloud.
Introduce a friend to Jesus
Most people have never read the Bible as an adult. What better way to introduce Jesus to someone than letting them discover and explore Him themselves by reading the Bible with you.
You don’t need any resources to read the Bible with a non-Christian friend, you could just open it with them. However, a great tool is ‘The Word One to One’. These booklets divide the gospel into accessible, bitesize episodes which take 20-30 minutes to read together. It provides everything you need to take a friend through the book of John, including the passage, helpful notes and talking points along the way.
Watch God Work
Inviting someone to read the Bible with you can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. You’ll invite them in a conversational and low-pressure way and at first you’re only asking them if they want to give it a try.
Trust that God is already at work in your friends’ hearts. The truths you will be sharing are captivating and life changing. At the end of the day, it’s not about us at all, but about Jesus revealing Himself to our friends through his Word. We are helping them engage with what the original eyewitnesses wrote about Jesus.
So be confident: God is at work, and He longs to grow your faith by using you to share the gospel with others.
