At LifeBridge Church, our mission is to connect people with God and others so they can experience life at its very best. We do this by creating environments where people can discover the difference God makes when He's directing our lives and the value people make when they come alongside us in the journey. We focus primarily on three environments:
PORCH
In a house, the front porch usually is the place new persons come the first time (or first few times) they visit. It's often a person's first impression of the house (and perhaps the family). It's the place where a family works to "put its best foot forward."
At LifeBridge the same is true for our worship on Sunday morning. We call this environment simply, "the porch." It's the place where guests usually show up first and make their first impression of us. Thus it's where we work hard to put our best foot forward, so that God's Spirit can be at work in people's lives.
DEN
While guests may come first to the porch on your house, you usually invite them off the porch and into the house. Often the first place you go is to the den. And while some people call it a living room or others call it a family room, it's the place where you spend time together getting to know each other.
At LifeBridge the same is true for what we do in some of our gatherings beyond Sunday morning. It may be a cookout, a motorcycle trip, a building project, or a short-term study. But whatever it is we've created so that people can spend time together and get to know one another a little better.
KITCHEN
There's one place in every home that's the primary connecting place, and often that's the kitchen. The kitchen is the place that the family gathers; it's the place where friends gather as a meal is being prepared; it's the place where people talk about things that are important in their lives.
At LifeBridge the same is true for our small groups, which we call "Life Groups." This is the place where people gather as friends and become like family. It's where we talk about things that are important in our lives. It's where we consider how we can live according to God's plan so we can experience what the Bible calls the "abundant" life (which we call life at its very best).
