1 John 1:1-4

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.

Ministry Year Journal

Ministry Year Journal

This ministry year, Bridgeway is stepping into a season of bold declaration — proclaiming God’s Truth, Triumph, and Transformation. To guide that journey, we’ve created the Proclaim Journal, a resource available both at our campuses and online.

Rooted in 1 John 1:1–4, the journal walks with you through our weekly sermons, giving you space to take notes, reflect on Scripture, and capture how God is moving in your life. Inside, you’ll explore the names and character of God, journey through key teachings, and record your personal prayers, insights, and testimonies.

Whether you use it during Sunday services, in your small group, or in your quiet time at home, the Proclaim Journal is designed to help you:

  • Write down what you see, hear, and experience of Christ.
  • Engage with Scripture as we proclaim God’s truth together.
  • Track your growth as you walk in His triumph and transformation.

Pick up a copy at our Columbia or Owings Mills/ Reisterstown campus, or download the digital version to follow along anywhere.

A year-long study on the names of God

Genesis 1:1

What happens when you tap into the divine creativity woven into your soul?

This Sunday, join Dr. David Anderson as we launch a brand-new teaching series, Proclaim the Name, focused on the powerful names of God in the Old Testament—beginning with Elohim, the Creator. Through Genesis 1 and key Scriptures from John and Colossians, we’ll explore the origin of all creation, the triune nature of God, and what it means to be made in His image. You’ll be challenged to embrace the creative genius within you and reflect God’s glory through your gifts, your voice, and your unique story.

Don’t miss this foundational message!

Genesis 14:18

What happens when the enemy strikes and your back is against the wall?

This Sunday, join Dr. David Anderson for part two of Proclaim the Name as we explore El Elyon—God Most High. Through the story of the first war in Scripture in Genesis 14, we’ll discover how God shows up in the valley, rescues the captive, and reminds us that no power is higher than His. Whether you’re facing spiritual warfare, personal battles, or unexpected setbacks, this message will equip you to trust God’s supremacy and prepare for your shift from defeat to victory.

Don’t miss this word! Come ready to proclaim the name of the God who fights for you.

Genesis 15:2

What happens when faith asks you to trust what your eyes can’t yet see?

This Sunday, join Dr. David Anderson for part three of Proclaim the Name as we explore Adonai—the Lord of Lords. Through Abram’s honest conversation with God in Genesis 15, we’ll discover what it means to follow a Sovereign God who is “large and in charge,” even when the promises feel impossible. Whether you’re struggling with doubt, delay, or disappointment, this message will reignite your faith to believe what God has spoken—even when you can’t yet see it.

Don’t miss this powerful teaching and come ready to proclaim the name of the God who keeps His promises!

Genesis 16:13

In this powerful message from Genesis 16, Dr. David Anderson introduces us to EL ROI—the God who sees. As Hagar fled the pain and mistreatment of Abram and Sarai, she encountered the God who found her in the desert and called her seen, heard, and loved.

Through humor, honesty, and hope, Dr. Anderson unpacks lessons on pain, faith, and divine vision—reminding us that being hurt doesn’t give us the right to hurt others, that faith will be tested, that mistreatment is never okay, and that sometimes stepping away can bring clarity toward destiny. No matter where you find yourself—broken, forgotten, or unseen—God sees you. He is EL ROI, the God who meets you right where you are.

Genesis 17:1

What happens when God makes you a promise that feels humanly impossible?

This Sunday, join us for part five of Proclaim the Name as we explore El Shaddai—God Almighty—through the story of Abraham in Genesis 17. Whether you’re watching online or tuning into our Podcast Service at Owings Mills/ Reisterstown, you’ll be reminded that God’s promises carry power, even after seasons of silence, delay, or detours. El Shaddai is not only all-powerful but all-sufficient—nurturing, sustaining, and faithful to fulfill what He starts.

Come discover how God’s grace can redeem your missteps, rename your identity, and restore your hope for what once seemed out of reach. Get ready to trust El Shaddai with your impossible!

Genesis 21:33

What happens when you anchor your life in the One who has no beginning and no end?

This Sunday, join us for Proclaim the Name as we explore El Olam, the Everlasting God. Whether you’re at our Columbia campus with Pastor Gary Coiro or joining the Podcast Service from Owings Mills/ Reisterstown with Pastor Will Eastham, you’ll encounter the God who stands beyond time and yet walks with us in every moment. From Abraham’s quiet trust under a tamarisk tree to your own journey today, discover how El Olam is both infinitely vast and intimately near. His promises never expire, His love never fades, and His presence never leaves.

Come find your everlasting hope in the Everlasting God.

Genesis 22:14

What happens when faith keeps walking even when the destination is unclear?
This Sunday at Bridgeway, join Minister Ronald Greene (Columbia Campus) and Pastor Will Eastham (Owings Mills/Reisterstown Campus) for a teaching on the Name of God Jireh from Genesis 22:1–14. Through Abraham’s journey up Mount Moriah, we see that Jehovah Jireh doesn’t just provide at the end—He provides in every step of surrender, every word of faith, and every moment of trust. When God asks you to release what’s in your hand, it’s not to take something from you, but to take you deeper into Him.

Whether you’re waiting, walking, or wondering, come discover how God is shaping your faith and providing in the process.
