Children's Ministry

Pastor of Family Ministry: Bruce Groves

The purpose of the Children’s Ministry here at The Bridge Bible Fellowship is to equip children to glorify God in their lives by exposing them to Him and His Word through an impactful ministry designed to grow healthy children who know Jesus Christ and desire to make Him known. We are seeking to instill the following core values:

• ♦ Cherish God (The Great Commandment: Matt. 22:36-37)
  

• ♦ Love One Another (The Second Greatest Commandment: Matt. 22:38-39)

• ♦ Imitate Christ (Mature Disciple and Worshiper: Matt. 22:38-39, Luke 15)

• ♦ Minister to Others (Excellent Equipped Servants: Col .3:23-24, Eph. 4:11ff, Tim. 2:22, Matt. 20:25-28)

• ♦ Broadcast the Good News (Multiplying; The Great Commission: Matt. 28:19-20)
