Save the date! We are having a 10th Anniversary Celebration & Baptism Service at 10am! This is an important event in our church history, and we will be celebrating our ’10 years’ after the baptism service with an all-church picnic. Games for all ages will be planned including co-ed softball and kid’s kickball. More info is on the church flyer – there is a box in the hall to place RSVP slips or sign-up on the sheets.
Men’s Fraternity is a series of three one-year-long studies designed to help men come together and strengthen one another. Men’s Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by God’s word. The process provides men with practical, easy-to-apply steps to be a better husband, father, employee, boss, and friend.
The Quest for Authentic Manhood is the first of the Men’s Fraternity series. It explores the common issues that all men face and provides a practical plan for moving forward with your life. It’s a captivating journey of 24 sessions that helps men understand their masculine identity and shows them how to make the pursuit of authentic manhood a lifelong priority. By conclusion of this study, men will be able to give a biblically-based response to “What is a man?”.
Elements include:
* Seasons of a man’s life
* Uncovering a Man’s Wounds
* Defining Manhood
* Deepening Marriage Relationships
* Raising Sons and Daughters
* Developing a Manhood Plan
The Men’s Fraternity 2010 gathering will meet on Friday’s beginning September 17 and finish on December 10. The second part of the series will begin January 7 and will end March 18.

We believe that everyone at BridgeWay has a unique and important role in helping to build the Kingdom of God. One of the most significant steps in your journey as a follower of Jesus is to discover how God has spiritually gifted you, and then boldly use the gifts God has given you. This on-line assessment will help you discover how uniquely God has created you, and then give you the confidence to do what only you can do.
This material can be used independently as a self study, however it would be best to review the results with your House Church leader or pastor. Please let us know what you’ve discovered, and may God bless you on the journey!
