Have you heard? We have a church name!

BRIDGE CITY CHURCH

First: A bridge is who we seek to be.

The idea of bridge came up during training when we were working on the vision frame for our church. When scripting our mission mandate, we developed the phrase "Bridging the gap between where people are and who God designed them to be." As a church, we will seek to be a bridge as the body of Christ, connecting people with Jesus.

Second: Jesus is a bridge.

A bridge is a perfect metaphor for what Jesus did for mankind as He died on the cross. He became the bridge that spanned the chasm between God and man that had developed because of sin.

The life verse for our church is 1 Timothy 2:5-6, which says, "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time."

Third: Bridges are common.

Situated on the Ohio river, Cincinnati has numerous bridges. Our church name includes a structure that is familiar and a part of our city.

Now you can pray for us by name! Here are a few things you can pray:

1. People would continue to join our core team — We currently have three people who will go with us to Anderson.

2. We would find God’s house for us in Anderson — We are currently looking to purchase a home in Anderson.

3. We will finish well in our residency at Grace Point Fellowship—January 9th will be our final Sunday at Grace Point.

4. Pray for the hearts of people in Anderson, that they would:

- Be open to and receive the gospel

- Be receptive to us as we engage the community

5. For the church to gain favorable relationships & influence in Anderson.

We are thankful to partner in this mission with you. 

Let's win Cincinnati!
