What does it mean to follow Jesus?
We hear the language “follower of Jesus” all the time, but what does it mean to be a disciple, or apprentice, of the rabbi from Nazareth? Put simply, it means you re-organize your life around three goals: Be with Jesus, become like Jesus, do what Jesus did. Our dream is that as we live this way, our lives, our communities, and our city will be transformed.
Be with
Jesus
Become
like Jesus
Do what
Jesus did
What does it mean to practice the way of Jesus?
Following Jesus is an entire life’s pursuit. It is not just an event on a Sunday but a “way” of life in community around the teachings of Jesus. To “practice the way of Jesus” is to adopt the lifestyle of Jesus, to put his teachings into practice in all aspects of your life. As we live this way, we are transformed from the inside out. We believe this kind of deep, authentic, radical change of character is possible even in the chaos of the modern, digital, urban world. Through teaching, practice, community, and the Holy Spirit, we can recover our humanity in discipleship to Jesus.

Live as people
of prayer
We want to be a people of prayer, living our lives in constant connection with God. As part of this life of prayer, Bridgetown Church participates in the rhythms of Daily Prayer and a 24-7 Prayer Room. We also introduce new prayer initiatives throughout the year.

How can we
be so sure of
all this?
Do you have questions and doubts about the way of Jesus? Bridgetown Church is hosting Alpha, an open and informal conversation about life, spirituality, and the person of Jesus without judgement or pressure. We would love to hear your thoughts and questions as we explore these themes together without the pressured atmosphere that usually comes with these conversations.
