Community Church in Portage Indiana
Welcome, the very first thing we’ll ask of you is simple: relax. You’re with friends. Even if you’ve never been in church before, you’ll have no worries about being flagged as a “newbie.” Or finding yourself “volunteered” to make seven dozen cookies for the first grade class.
Worship _ the Bridge
Saturday Evenings -coming soon
Sunday Mornings _ 11:15 a.m.
The worship experience at the Bridge employs multiple creative elements that communicate God's heart for us all. The teaching then takes us further... exploring biblical truths in engaging, relevant ways. Thought-provoking illustrations and real-life applications lay the groundwork for a rich time of spiritual introspection and personal growth.
Before and after the service, we enjoy coffee, refreshments and opportunities to connect with others. Come begin or continue your spiritual quest at your own pace in the company of friends! Growing closer to the perfect God in an imperfect authentic community is what The Bridge is all about. Musical Worship is of high importance to us as a community of Christ, because we may only remember 10 sermons over a lifetime, but we will commit many songs to memory. In that light, we try and select music that can minister to our very heart and soul.

Bridge Kids
Children's Ministry at the Bridge Community Church exists to be a support to families in the raising and teaching of their children.
Because parents are the primary teachers of their children, we want to support and reinforce the teaching that already exists in the life of children. As a community, we are striving to become a worshiping community of authentic believers.
We believe this is God's desire for kids as well. Therefore, children's ministry exists to support parents in raising their children to become worshipers of Jesus, integrated into community and students of the Bible.
