Our History
Almost three decades ago, the Bridge was birthed through God's leading of 11 individuals who were instru

mental in opening a Southern Baptist church in Berks County. Today, there are approx. 200 people who consider the Bridge their place of worship. Through divine appointments, our church met as one body for the first time on May 4, 1971 as a home fellowship. Pastor Pat Brock led this new group of seven adults and 4 children. By September Berkshire Baptist Church (its original name) grew to about 30 people and began sharing a church building with another congregation. In January 1976 our church permanently settled on this site, the former Yocum Elementary School, and again the congregation grew. A new sanctuary with additional classroom space and kitchen was added in 1994, and it comprises our current campus. It's almost 4 years since our church's name was changed from Berkshire Baptist Church to the Bridge Fellowship to attract and unify the diversity of people seeking to make Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior. We pray you will be blessed & trained in the truthful Word of God as you attend the Bridge to go and make disciples in your home, neighborhood, workplace and beyond. What We Believe
In essential beliefs--we have unity.
``There is one Body and one Spirit . . . there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all . . .'' Eph. 4:4-6 ·
In non-essential beliefs--we have liberty.
``Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters . . . Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls . . . So then each of us will give an account of himself to God . . . So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.'' Romans 14:1,4,12,22
In all our beliefs--we show charity.
''. . .If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains--but have no love, I amount to nothing at all.'' 1 Cor. 13:2 (Ph)

If we believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the only begotten Son of God and that He came into this world and went to the cross of Calvary and died for our sins and rose again in order to justify us and to give us life anew and prepare us for heaven-if you really believe that, there is only one inevitab...

Just as the true fruit of an apple tree is not an apple, but another tree; the true fruit of a small group is not a new Christian, but another group; the true fruit of a church is not a new group, but a new church; the true fruit of a leader is not a follower, but a new leader; the true fruit of an....

The gospel of justifying faith means that while Christians are, in themselves still sinful and sinning, yet in Christ, in God’s sight, they are accepted and righteous. So we can say that we are more wicked than we ever dared believe, but more loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared hope .....

[Y]ou have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin. When you are pursuing love, running toward Christ, you do not have opportunity to wonder, *Am I doing this right?* or *Did I serve enough this week?* When you are running toward Christ, you are freed up to serve, love, and give thanks wi...

The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as ‘Christians’ will become disciples – students, apprentices, practitioners – of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the K...

Christian discipleship is, at its root, the radical task of becoming an apprentice of Jesus — to be with him, to become like him, and to do as he did.

On True Religion No act of virtue can be great if it is not followed by advantage for others. So, no matter how much time you spend fasting, no matter how much you sleep on a hard floor and eat ashes and sigh continually, if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.
