Care & Support

Stephen Ministry support is launching soon!

Bridgeway Community Church’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

A Bridgeway caregiver comes alongside a hurting person and meets with that person on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support. The program teaches laypersons to provide one-on-one care for individuals who request support. The confidential care-giver and care-receiver relationship, usually conducted by weekly visits, may continue for several months.

Please note: Bridgeway Caregivers are not replacements for trained professionals. People with needs beyond our prepared training will be referred to someone in a professional role. Our team members are not trained for addiction or domestic abuse situations.

The Bridgeway Community Church Benevolence Program is designed to provide assistance to those in our congregation who may be struggling financially.

Please note: this is a request for assistance, not a guarantee.

Request Benevolence

Do you:

• Have a question related to your personal financial situation?
• Need support defining your financial goals?
• Need assistance getting financially organized or setting up a spending plan?
• Have a desire to increase savings or to get out of debt?
• Need help understanding credit and credit reports?
• Have a desire to tithe but not sure where to get the money?
• Have concerns about when your COVID unemployment bonus ($600) stops?

If you answered ‘YES’ to any of these needs, our financial mentor volunteers offer FREE mentoring services in these areas. Our mentors have been trained and certified by the University of Maryland Extension office using a program called ‘Master Money Mentors.’ Our mentors have a passion to provide one-on-one assistance and to teach you how to be successful in your financial management so you can reach your financial goals.  Mentoring sessions can be held in-person or virtually using a variety of communication platforms.
