Small Groups

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Get Ready for Fall Small Groups

How do I to choose a group?

Some people choose the best day of the week for themselves or their family. If your weekdays are crazy then start with a Sunday group. Maybe you have tweens that do youth group on Wednesdays and can't drive, so look for a Wednesday group to fill in your time while they are at Youth.  Or maybe you have a specific area of study you would like to do, we have those too: prayer focused, Experiencing God, men and women only groups to name a few. Still need help? Call the church or email info@thebridge129.org and someone will reach out to you and get you signed up.
