Mission Statement
Bridge to Life Ministries focuses on the needs of marriage and relational issues for the purpose of reconciling men and women to God and each other.
Bridge to Life’s commitment and passion is to strengthen and restore marriages and seeks to accomplish this by training lay couples in local churches and equipping them for effective marriage ministry.
We are also committed to offering the local church resources that are biblical, practical and that will meet the needs of the heart in order to bring healing to marriages.
Bridge to Life believes that the purpose of marriage is to reflect the oneness of God. Therefore, we are committed on not giving up on a marriage relationship. We work hard to make sure that divorce is seen as a last resort and that every conceivable option is used to reconcile a relationship.
CORE BELIEFS THAT DRIVE OUR MISSION
Everybody has a story and has been wounded in some way.
Everyone struggles with depravity.
Everyone has dignity, first as one created by God in His image, second as one for whom Christ was willing to go to the cross.
Recovery, healing, restoration, and transformation is a life-long process.
God’s desire is to redeem our past and use the very story that brought us shame for His glory.
Repentance, as well as forgiveness, is a process done on many levels over time.
We embrace people where they are while inviting them to more.
We are not responsible for damage done to us, but we are responsible for damage we have caused to ourselves and others because of our wounds and sins.
We believe in allowing people to struggle and grieve at their own pace.
We believe in allowing others to struggle with God and not put a spiritual answer or quick fix for their lives.
We believe the church, the body of Christ, should be a safe and powerful place of healing for all people.
