ABOUT US
The Bridge Ministry helps 5th and 6th-graders grow in their faith by exploring the “why” behind what we believe. Through teaching and practices like prayer, Scripture, and worship, we encourage students to take ownership of their walk with Christ and prepare for the seasons ahead.
I grew up in Michigan, where God began shaping my heart for ministry early on. My journey took me to Waco, Texas, for two years of study and growth in a place where faith and community run deep. From there, the Lord led me to Clinton, Mississippi, where I trained at Mississippi College and gained the tools to pursue His calling more fully. After graduating, I stepped into ministry with a clear sense of purpose. Today, I have the privilege of serving in Columbus as the leader of The Bridge ministry. My greatest joy is helping people connect to Christ and find a home in His church. Along the way, God has used every season to grow my love for people, deepen my faith, and prepare me for this work. I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside others as we follow Jesus together. It’s a gift to invest in this community and to watch lives transformed by the hope of the gospel.
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
The FBC Bridge Ministry is for 5th and 6th graders and meets weekly at 6:00 PM, right after our family dinner. Students head to the Kids Wing for a fun, intentional evening of worship, teaching, small groups, and games. Our time together is designed to help students grow spiritually and relationally. Teaching is rooted in Scripture and explores the core truths of the Christian faith while encouraging honest questions and discussion. Led by trusted leaders, small groups provide a safe space to apply biblical truths, share openly, and receive encouragement. Whether students are new to faith or growing in it, our goal is to help each one take the next step in their spiritual journey—developing a lasting faith rooted in truth, centered on Christ, and lived with purpose.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
Following the conclusion of our Sunday service, Bridge Ministry students (5th and 6th graders) gather together for a dedicated time of discipleship and connection. These sessions provide a meaningful opportunity to dive deeper into God’s Word, engage in thoughtful discussion around the Sunday sermon, and ask questions that help them wrestle with the truths of Scripture in an age-appropriate and supportive environment. Each week, students are encouraged to explore how biblical teaching applies to their everyday lives, laying the foundation for personal ownership of their faith. In addition to spiritual growth, these gatherings also foster intentional community—building Christ-centered friendships and mentoring relationships that point our preteens toward Jesus and help them feel known, valued, and supported during this formative stage of life.
