What is the “Gospel
Class”?
This
class is designed to be the first point of connection for those
considering “The Bridge” as their church home, for a season or for a
lifetime. It also serves as the biblical overview of the foundation
from which our theology and community springs. Content of the class
includes an overview of our church and our core values, with a
doctrinal exploration of the Scriptures, God, Creation, Sin,
Salvation, the Missional Church, Stewardship and Spiritual Gifts.
This class explores basic, biblical theology and how this teaching
plays out philosophically and practically in the way we embody the
gospel to the neighborhood in which we live.
Who should take the
Gospel Class?
The
Gospel Class is open to everyone. If it’s your first week at “The
Bridge”, if you believe in Jesus or not, this introductory class is
a great place to get started for those who are merely curious and
for those who are excited to get connected.
We DO
ask that everyone considering “The Bridge” to be their church take
this class to assess how they feel about God, the gospel, and what
we believe, praying for discernment and growth as they choose a
local body of believers to call their family.
What if I want to be a
member of The Bridge Community Church?
This
class is required to become a member; we ask anyone interested in
becoming a member to walk with us through our foundational theology.
Whether you became a Christian yesterday, or have a Masters in
Divinity, there are no exceptions.
What about other “Core
Value” classes at “The Bridge”?
With few
exceptions, The Gospel Class is required for any of our subsequent
“Core Value” classes which work from this foundation to study
biblical truths in greater depth.
