Outreach

- We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible written Word of God.
- We believe that there is One God, eternally existent in Three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that God the Father is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His vicarious death on the Cross, was bodily resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of God the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.
- We believe that after Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on all believers, enabling us to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world.
- We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, and that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness is freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe that when a person truly repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
- We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the Scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified.
- We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.
- We believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our Worship.
- We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshipped.
- We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ’s love (Agape), which is greater than any differences we possess, and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
It is our desire that BridgeBuilders Fellowship would be a place where the love of God is evident and the grace of God is applied. As we endeavor to obtain this goal it is our desire to be the model family. To help us remember value I developed an acrostic - F.A.M.I.L.Y.
Fellowship:
Heb 10:25
25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
1 Cor 12:27
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Rom 12:5
5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Acts 2:46-47
46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Active:
Matt 28:19-20
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.""
Meekness:
Gal 6:1
