The Bridge Smithfield

Tomorrow is Fifth Sunday, and our Bridge Kids will be joining us in the sanctuary!

One of the greatest gifts we can give the next generation is the opportunity to see faith in action. There is incredible value in children watching their parents and church family worship, pray, and praise God together.

We’re excited to gather as one church family and create space for our kids to see what a life devoted to Jesus looks like. See you tomorrow!

Nursery will still be open!

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the cost of freedom and the courage of those who chose to serve others above themselves.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we also take time to reflect with gratitude and pray for the families of the fallen.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

In an Ownership class, you’ll learn more about why The Bridge is all about giving life by giving Christ, and in the end, decide if becoming an owner is your next step.

Join us May 31st for our next Ownership class, directly after second service. Lunch will be provided! Be sure to register below!

We believe Christians should belong to a local church & have a sense of personal investment in what God is doing in that community.
