What happens in a community where every child is given the guidance and support they need to reach their God-given potential? What if there were people standing ready to lend a helping hand to those who truly need it? What can a community accomplish when it comes together with the help of God? Bridge Ministry of Burton, TX is an effort by people who want to find out. Bridge Ministry is a brand new
vision for the community of Burton and the surrounding western Washington County area. In the beginning of 2010, 12 churches in and around Burton decided to combine our outreach efforts and form Bridge Ministry, eventually becoming a non-profit organization. We believe that, working together, we can make our community a powerful example of what it looks like when one town commits to truly living out our Christian discipleship, loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. The Bridge exists to build a bridge across anything that divides the people in our area, strengthening existing friendships and creating new ones. We seek to build bridges between the legitimate needs of individuals and the ability of others to meet those needs. We are a group of people pledging to live out our discipleship of Jesus Christ together. We have six ministry teams: Senior Ministry, Children/Youth Ministry, Helping Hands Ministry, Community Ministry, Manna Ministry and the Corner Shoppe thrift store. Bridge Ministry is a collaborative effort of Bethany Christian Church, Christway Temple Full Gospel Church, First Baptist Church of Burton, Greenvine Baptist Church, Greenvine Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Hollow Springs Baptist Church, Pilgrim’s Rest Baptist Church, St. John’s Missionary Baptist Church, St. John’s United Church of Christ, St. Mary’s Baptist Church, St. Paul Lutheran Church of Rehburg, Zion Hill Baptist Church, and Zion Lutheran Church
