Our Vision
The Bridge is a youth center in downtown Zeeland,
Michigan. We provide a variety of programs for youth, primarily
geared toward middle school-aged kids. These programs are born from
our vision of a community that values youth. Our vision is four-fold:
To provide a place where youth
will feel safe, loved, affirmed, and respected as a child of God
and where they may engage in constructive programs and
activities that will allow them to develop in healthy ways
To share
the good news of Jesus Christ with all the youth of the greater
Zeeland community
To reach out to the youth of the community--through
relationships with adults and peers--to meet them at their point
of need and to draw them into the church of Christ
To be a ministry where brothers and sisters in
Christ--regardless of denominational background--can come
together in common cause, utilizing all the gifts that God has
given to His people to pray for and minister to the youth of our
community
Our Mission:
To be a source of community strength, meeting the needs
of the youth and their families through programs,
activities, facilities, and events that help youth develop
in healthy ways while at the same time reaching out to them
in the name of Jesus to draw them into a relationship with
Him. |
