The Bridge

The Bridge Within a couple years, God had brought Pastor Bill Woughter and a small band to begin pouring themselves into each other and the community around them.

What is THE BRIDGE?
-Following Jesus, THE BRIDGE from death to Life.
-Becoming THE BRIDGE to our neighbors, co-workers, and friends.
-Strengthening THE BRIDGE of unity among the churches around us. The Bridge began when a small group of people who loved Jesus and came from several different churches stood on this property, what used to be a small farm and farmhouse prior to 1967, and asked God to

plant a church here to be a living, vibrant display of Jesus' love to the students, families, and staff of Big Flats Elementary. Big Flats Wesleyan Church was born! In it's 50th year, a year of vision clarification, the church reaffirmed the heart God had birthed them with; a deep longing to see Jesus revealed to the community, being a lived-out picture of Jesus' goodness, uniting with other area churches to love our neighbors well. This reaffirmation came with a new expression; a new name! The Bridge helped to establish this three-fold reality of our identity:

1) A people who follow Jesus; the Bridge from death to life
2) A people being the Bridge to our neighbors, co-workers, and friends
3) A people who build Bridges to other churches around us

With eagerness, we look forward to how we get to be a part of helping people "taste and see that the Lord is good"!

We are honored to partner with our brothers and sisters at Mosaic of the Southern Tier (formerly the Southern Tier Pregnancy Resource Center) for the annual baby bottle driver which runs from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day. If you don’t have a bottle yet, you can grab one from our lobby. If you fill them, you can bring them in and place them at the display table or better yet, bring them in on Father’s Day for a culminating celebration!

💙 Faithfulness Friday 💙

Did you know?

The phrase “God won’t give you more than you can handle” isn’t actually found in the Bible.

The promise isn’t that life will always be easy—the promise is that God will be faithful.

“Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” — Lamentations 3:22-23

Whatever you’re facing today, take heart. The God who has carried you before will be faithful again.

Faithfulness Friday ✨

Sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply remembering.

Remember His provision.
Remember His promises.
Remember His goodness.

The same God who was faithful then is faithful now.

💜 What’s one way you’ve seen God’s faithfulness this week?

As Memorial Day comes to a close, may we continue to carry gratitude in our hearts for the men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Today was more than cookouts, lake days, and time with family — it was a reminder of sacrifice, courage, and the cost of freedom. May we never forget those who gave everything.

Praying for comfort over military families and thankfulness in our hearts tonight. ❤️
