Justice,
Reconciliation,
& Mercy

How do we serve those in need?

As followers of Jesus we believe that justice, reconciliation, and mercy are central to the Kingdom of God. As a result, we are called to engage faithfully and wholeheartedly with areas of brokenness and injustice locally and globally. We demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways with his peace, presence, and power. We do this by standing with the poor, the marginalized, and those on the underside of power; by increasing justice through the way of righteousness. We desire to extend a circle of divine compassion and make sure that no one is left outside of it.  

To this end, we work to see wrong things made right. The measure of our compassion lies not in our service to those on the margins but in our willingness to see ourselves in kinship with them. We seek nothing short of shalom, the flourishing and welfare of our city, and to see God’s world along with all that he has made become as He intended it to be. We do this through pursuing covenant friendships as we reconcile with, learn from, serve, advocate, support, and dream with our neighbors.

Racial Justice Committee

In 2016, Bridgetown Church began waking up to the myth of a post-racial America. Since then, we have felt the Spirit moving us from being mono-cultural to becoming a multi-ethnic expression of the Kingdom of God. The goal of the Racial Justice Committee is to empower Bridgetown Church to pursue racial equity, be a conduit of cultural transformation, and cultivate an environment of unity in diversity.

engagement

Partner with us to serve our city through these areas of engagement, either with your community or as an individual. Through focused engagement and long-term commitment, we believe we can bring heaven to earth.
