Join us Sunday at 10AM EST

Hi. We're Life Bridge Church.

Let's get acquainted.

Our Story

In September of 2004, Pastor Bill Campbell, joined by a community of like-minded Christians, founded Life Bridge Church. Throughout the next two years, LBC met in rented facilities and worked through the challenges presented to portable churches. On Christmas Eve Sunday of 2006, we moved into our current building. While the building provides a place for conversation, inspiration, and growth, the heartbeat of Life Bridge is the community of believers who have been changed and now are engaged in bringing change through Christ.

Sunday morning provides a venue for gathering to worship and become inspired and equipped to live out being a follower of Jesus in our everyday lives. People often come early to share life over a cup of coffee before the service, and the after service conversations are reminiscent of the "front porch" heritage that knitted the fabric of America for so many years.

The culture of LBC is inclusive regardless of age, social status, race, gender or any other identification that defines our 'church family.' The "Neighborhood" engages our children in age-appropriate ministry opportunities while our teenagers find a place to belong through the "L3 Youth Ministry." Throughout the week, groups meet in homes to provide opportunities for spiritual growth, strengthened relationships, and missional outreach. Opportunities to engage, to support, and to pray for ministries both locally and around the world are interweaved through all of the expressions of LBC.

We have embraced the opportunity to look up for our relationship with Christ, to lean in by being engaged as a part of the community, and to launch out to make a significant difference in our world. We literally believe God can do anything and that the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts in still available today. Our family provides a place to belong with clear focus on eternal purpose!

Mission / Vision

Our mission is to be changed to bring change through Jesus to our community.

Our vision is to look up, lean in, and launch out.

Our values are to reflect God's image, to pursue an empowered lifestyle, and to be a family on mission.


Mission

Being changed to bring change through Christ.

The invitation Jesus made was 'follow me and I will make you fishers of men.' An unlikely dozen became the core whose lives were changed and who in turn 'turned their world upside down.' The invitation and challenge embodied in the Great Commandment(to love others the way we want to be loved) and the Great Commission(to bring the message of Christ to the world) are still the driving force for the church today - to be a discipling culture.


Vision

Looking up, leaning in, launching out.

The impetus for our pursuit of Christ' life begins in our relationship with our Father and King. As we look up, the creative power that launched the world intersects with our life in a personal way. As we find relationship with God through Christ, we discover our authority and identity as a believer who leans in to our empowered community of believers. From that position of vertical and horizontal relationship we can now launch out to impact the lives of people broken by a sinful world. This up, in, and out relationship provides a continuous triangular flow for life.

Core Values

Reflecting God's image

When we embrace salvation, we discover the wonderful relational world of being God's child. Thus as we enter into this adoption into the 'ultimate' royal family, we realize that His creative power is now resident in us. As we grow in that relationship, we reflect the very image of God himself to the world around us.

Pursuing an empowered lifestyle

This 'treasure' of the life of Christ in us changes who we are. As a new creation, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to become a disciple of Jesus. Through our growth in in Him we find that His strength not only changes us, but it gives us the ability to reproduce His life in others.

Being a family on mission

As empowered believers who reflect God's image, we realize that we have gifts and callings that bring us together with others who embrace the same passion to impact our community and our world. We are more than a group who comes together to worship; we are people being discipled who begin to embrace opportunities for intentional missional outreach. Being a part of community that engages us through large group worship, small group development, and missional engagement releases us to be God's 'family on mission!'

Beliefs

“Foursquare” is a Biblical term representing that which is equally balanced on all sides, established and enduring. It was used to describe the tabernacle in the Exodus, of the Temple of the Lord in Ezekiel 40:47, and of Heaven, as described in The Book of Revelation 21:16.

Our founder, Aimee Semple McPherson, coined the term “Foursquare Gospel” during an evangelistic campaign in Oakland, Calif., in 1922. It was a term representative of the established and enduring nature of the Gospel. Such confidence in the Gospel’s power is also expressed by the verse, Hebrews 13:8, displayed in Foursquare churches proclaiming, Jesus Christ is the Same, Yesterday and Today and Forever.

Each of the four squares that make up our Foursquare logo represent an attribute of Jesus Christ: Savior, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, Healer, and Soon-coming King. References to these attributes can be found in scripture, in both the Old and New Testaments


Foursquare video about the 4 squares.


Our Savior

“Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” –Hebrews 7:25 (NKJV)

The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit

“...for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."–Acts 1:5,8 (NKJV)

Our Healer

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.”–Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV)

The Soon-Coming King

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” –1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NKJV)

Based on these fundamental beliefs our, Life Bridge’s, call is to preach the “Good News” of Jesus to the entire world. By LOOKING UP to God, LEANING IN to each other and LAUNCHING OUT to the world, we work to continually develop a healthy and growing church, and to be missional in our journey with Christ as we share this “Good News” and reach out in love to our local community, to our nation and around the world.
