What is the Bridge?
The Bridge is a church in Allegan, Michigan that
is for the beaten-up, the burned-out, and the just plain bored. If you spend time with us, you will hear that a
lot - it is a central idea of how we want to interact with the community
around us.
We want to be a place that
reflects the love of Jesus. Everyone is welcome, with
no prerequisites of church background or prior belief. Bring your faith
and your doubt, your joy and your tears, your praise and your
selfishness. We're not perfect, but we'll love you as best as we can.

Thanks for supporting the
Bridge! Let us know if we can help you in any way.
