Note About the Campus Email

Starting November 1, the campus email will be returning to its original time slot of Sunday afternoon. This was shifted to the mornings temporarily to get the word out about our online services.

Bridgeway services will still be found on bridgeway.ccFacebook, and YouTube.

Online Service Streams

Good Morning!

Sunday morning worship continues here at Bridgeway. We’d love for you to join us! You can find our services streaming online here on YouTube and here on Facebook. The chat rooms are open and we’d love to see you there!

For Parents

While schools are opening, we encourage you to use this time to invest in the spiritual life of your kids. You can find age appropriate resources for children from preschool through 5th grade at bridgeway.cc/kids. Materials will be updated every Sunday, but will remain online throughout the week.

These are being left available to create opportunities for review, reflection, and connection with your children.

Prayer Vigil November 1st

As we wind down an unprecedented election season, it is imperative that the people of God come together to pray for our nation. Fear, division, and perhaps even violence are just some of the possible outcomes of an election year already marred by all of those things. On Sunday November 1 at 2:00 p.m., I am calling on the clergy, elders, staff, volunteers, partners, and attenders to gather together in prayer at the Columbia campus parking lot with masks, proper social distancing, and (if you’d like) your own chairs and blankets. We will sing praises to our Lord and pray for our country on the eve of the Presidential election on November 3. Regardless of your political party, your ethnic background, or your socioeconomic class, we will come together as one body of fully devoted Followers Of Christ, United in the Spirit.  Won’t you join us?

“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” – 1 Chronicles 7:14  
Grace & Peace,
Dr. David Anderson

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know, 1 out of 28 women gets breast cancer?
Did you know that Mammograms can detect breast cancer early, possibly before it has spread?
In honor of the National Breast Cancer Awareness in month of October, the Bridgeway Cancer Support Ministry recommends all women to have a mammogram annually. Our ministry serves Bridgeway partners and their immediate family members who are affected by ALL types of cancer. We provide support, prayer, hope, and encouragement. We are there at the beginning and will celebrate the victories with you too.
Please contact us at: care@bridgeway.ccThis year, the Bridgeway Cancer Support Ministry honors our sister in Christ, a breast cancer survivor, Grace Ligon, for her strong faith in God and her continued fight against cancer. Her daughter, Lexi filmed a short video, “Living With Grace” that we hope will inspire you. We ask you to join to us as we continue pray for her during her journey. You can also wear a Pink breast cancer ribbon during the Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, to honor Grace and other survivors and to raise the awareness. If you want the free pink ribbon, please email us at: care@bridgeway.cc
