OUR MISSION
Our mission is central to everything that we do. We strive to connect people to Jesus Christ, each other, and to God's purposes for their lives.
God has given us a bold vision for the future. We are called to ignite a movement of Culturally-Relevant, Radically Loving, Rapidly Reproducing Church spreading Hope thoughout the World.
Our core values consist of 3 things that we believe to be absolutely essential to who God has created us to be at Bridgeway. They are gospel saturation, local community transformation, and church multiplication.
Looking to learn a little bit more about who we are? Awesome, we'd love to help.

5 Things We Do
WE WORSHIP
Our Weekend Worship Experiences are often the initial starting point for most of those that call Bridgway home. We currently have 4 services across 2 campuses. Saturday Night at 5:30pm and Sunday Morning at 9:00am and 11:00am at the Pekin Campus. Sunday Morning at 11am at the Marquette Heights Campus All services are identical.
WE CONNECT
Connect Groups are the backbone of Bridgeway. These are groups that meet in homes and at the Pekin Campus throughout the week to help you find a place to connect with new friends.
WE REACH OUT
Glocal (global and local) is essential for Bridgway. Currently we are working with Wilson Intermediate School and the Pekin Outreach Initiative in a backpack feeding program. We also work hard to cross ministry bridges world wide through support of missions and through crisis intervention.
WE LOVE ON KIDS AND YOUTH
Your Kids Matter! Bridgeways main arena for ministry to children happens during our Worship Experiences. We use a curriculum called Orange and tailor lessons for age specific ministry. Your teens will have a place to connect on Wednesday Nights at the Marquette Heights Campus and the Sander's Center in North Pekin.
WE DEVELOP VOLUNTEERS AND LEADERS
Bridgeway works to equip people to live out their purposes with God. We encourage involvement in ministry and have developed an apprentice program to assist with development. One Saturday a month we gather as Volunteers and Leaders for a time of vision, training, and coordination.
