MISSION

Our mission is to connect people to: 

  • Jesus Christ
  • Each Other
  • God's purposes for their lives

 

Our mission influences everything we do at BridgeWay--from every ministry we launch to every event we offer. If it isn't adhering to the mission God has given us, we don't pursue it

VISION

To ignite a movement of Radically Loving, Culturally Relevant, Rapidly Reproducing Churches sharing hope throughout the world.

 

WHAT MAKES OUR MISSION AND VISION UNIQUE?

BridgeWay believes we are a  family and family is what God is all about.  

  • We are empowered to not only plant but be planted in our homes, communities, and beyond.
  • We do not seek to be large in numbers but mighty in Christ!  
  • We are empowered to connect. We connect by spreading the Gospel across Central Illinois and beyond through a network of new churches, campuses, and connects groups.  

Two Fold Strategy

  • To missionally impact 10% of the unchurched population of Tazewell and surrounding counties through a sprawling network of BridgeWay campuses
  • To influence and impact 100 church plants locally, nationally, and globally by 2030.
