GOD

God is the creator of everything. He rules and interacts within His creation. we believe that He is represented by three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Each person in the persons of the trinity are equal and represent the one triune God.
(Genesis 1:1, Psalm 33:6, Isaiah 42:5, Jeremiah 10:12, John 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3)

 

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is God’s solution to man’s problem with sin. Jesus was both fully God and fully human. He gave Himself as a perfect and sinless sacrifice on the cross to pay for our sins. After three days, He defeated sin and death through His resurrection. He ascended into Heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
(John 1:14, John 5:18, John 8:58, John 10:30, Romans 5:8, Hebrews 9:28, Acts 1:9-11)

 

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Our direct connection to God on a daily basis is made possible by His Holy Spirit. The Spirit is given to anyone who has been saved by Jesus Christ. Jesus describes the Spirit as “The Helper,” because it is through the Spirit that we accomplish God’s purposes on earth. Finally, we must understand that the Holy Spirit is not an “it” but a “who.” He is the third member of the Trinity and is both uniquely and completely God.
(John 14:16-17, Acts 2:38, Romans 5:5, Romans 8:9, Romans 8:26, Hebrews 10:29)

 

MAN

God’s most precious creation is humanity. Man was created in the image of God to worship Him. Man, however, chose to disobey God. This disobedience disrupted not only the relationship between God and man, but also every aspect of human life.
(Hebrews 2:7, Genesis 1:26, Colossians 1:21, Isaiah 53:6a)

 

SIN

Anything that disappoints God is sin and all sin is equally disappointing. Sin separates us from God, and ultimately leads to death.
(James 4:17, Romans 3:23, Galatians 5:19-21, John 8:34)

 

SALVATION

Jesus Christ is the only way that man can be saved from an eternity apart from God. We are saved by faith through Jesus by confessing our sins to Him, declaring Him as Lord with our mouths and believing in His resurrection. Salvation is an eternal act and nothing can remove it once we have it.
(John 14:6, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9, Romans 8:1, Romans 8:38-39)

 

STEWARDSHIP

Everything that is given to the Bridge will be used in a way that glorifies God and builds on His Kingdom. Money, time and spiritual gifts are all important contributions that enable us to continue doing ministry and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
(1 Peter 4:10, Proverbs 3:9, Malachi 3:10, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7)

 

BAPTISM

Baptism is a public display of a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ. To be baptized, is to be fully immersed in water. This represents dying to self and coming back to life in Jesus.
(Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12-13)

 

THE BIBLE

The Bible contains no errors or contradictions. The Bible was written by man, but inspired by the Holy Spirit. it is God’s love story to us. The Bible tells us who God is. It shows us His grace and mercy through narratives, history, poetry and wisdom. Everything that we know about God, man and creation comes from His word. It contains several eyewitness accounts of Jesus and His resurrection. The Bible is also one of the most well preserved ancient documents known to man.
(2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105, Proverbs 4:20-22, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Proverbs 30:5)
