The Bridge is a non-denominational church in Maryville, MO that is all about loving God, loving people, & making disciples! The local church isn't a building - it's a gathering of people, a FAMILY. We see our family coming together to glorify God and to reach out with his love to others. We have Sunday services every week at 9 & 10:30 and would LOVE to have you come. Welcome to the Family!

There is one true God who has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind.

The Old and New Testaments, are inspired by God. The Bible is the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

All believers should earnestly seek the promise of the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire. With it comes power for life, service, and gifts to serve.

The Bridge launched in December of 2013 as a re-start of the Community of Faith Church on East Third Street. We moved to a new location with a new name and a renewed commitment to becoming what God desires of us as His people!

December 5th 2021, The Bridge celebrated the Grand Opening of the BridgeYTH Space with a ribbon cutting ceremony. God has been so faithful, can you imagine what's next?

Chad and Kortney have been in ministry since they were married in 2002. They have served in various roles over the years and love pastoring. Both attended Evangel University in  Springfield, Mo. What they love about ministry most is watching God change lives and the community that is built through church. In his spare time, Chad loves to hunt, golf, and hang out with his family. Kortney loves spending time with friends, a good book, and being mom to their two kids. 

Mark and Suzanne love the opportunity to serve the local church. Both attended and graduated from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO. What they love most about ministry is serving however they can be used, equipping leaders, and seeing people find their God-given purpose. Mark and Suzanne both love spending time together, watching a good show on TV and simply doing life with each other and their five children.

David and Sophie are newly married and excited to start life together - both in their home and the community of Maryville. Both graduated from Northwest Missouri State University in May of 2022. Their favorite part of ministry is to see people recognize their need for a Savior, and they desire to know those people and help them walk towards faith. David and Sophie love to watch movies and eat popcorn, and they love to explore God’s creation through hiking and traveling. 

Support staff includes: Brianna Heredia: Office Manager,  Amy Goldsmith: BridgeKids Liaison, Tanner Rickabaugh: Tech Director, TJ Winters: Middle School Leader, Genna Sarcione: Children’s Ministry Assistant  
 

The Bridge is a pastor-led, board-protected church. Board members include:
Randy Arnold, Nate Blackford, Philip Pohren, and Brooke McAtee.

The Bridge operates with a simple structure of relationships over programs. People meet together through weekly, corporate worship, through weekly or bi-weekly small groups, and multigenerational discipleship as scheduled. (ex: BridgeKids services and BridgeYTH group meetings.)

The Bridge's primary objectives are to: reach those who are far from God, equip them to be leaders for life, and send those people into the world of the sake of God's Kingdom.

Worship God, make disciples, live faithfully, give generously, serve purposefully, love unconditionally.
