forward initiative

‘A God-sized, God-sent vision for The Bridge Church.’

At The Bridge Church our mission is to help people find and follow Jesus Christ, here and around the world!

In 2021 we began the FORWARD Initiative, a journey of sacrificial giving designed to expand our reach for God’s kingdom. We are breaking ground on our new campus at 2410 N. River Road, which will provide much needed space that will allow us to continue our mission in Sarasota County and beyond.

Since we began the initiative, we continue to grow. Additions that were once reserved for future phases are now included in the current plans. The square footage has increased from 24K sq ft to 32K sq ft. We have also increased the seating capacity in the auditorium from 500 seats to 920 seats. Like every space in this facility, this room is designed for multipurpose use.

THE PURPOSE

FORWARD is a God-sent, God-sized vision for The Bridge Church. It is a journey of sacrificial giving designed to expand our ministry.

Estimated $11 million plus FF&E.
