Bridges Community Church is currently in the process of searching for our next Senior Pastor.
Our Elder team met with a representative from our denomination (EFCA) to prepare and plan the Ask, Seek, Knock process (Matthew 7:7-8).
This Plan will be executed in two phases:
The church vision, mission, and values have been updated along with the Senior Pastor job description/profile. A search committee has been prayerfully appointed.
On Sunday, January 15, we held a meeting for members to vote for the calling of Pastor Nate Glaze as Senior Pastor. The vote was in accordance to the by-laws of the church constitution and we are pleased to announce the congregation’s approval of Pastor Nate as Senior Pastor! There will be an installation service planned in the next few months and we will announce the time at a later date.
Join us in congratulating Pastor Nate!

On Sunday, 1/8/2023, as part of the Senior Pastor search process, the Elders will be hosting two informal Q&A sessions with Pastor Nate Glaze. You’re welcome to attend either Q&A session and they are not limited to church members. The first will be held 9:30-10:30 AM before service in the gym (refreshments will be served). The second will be held 12:30-1:30 PM after the service in the gym (lunch will be served).
On Sunday, 1/15/2023, we will have a congregational member vote in the gym from 10:00-10:45 AM to decide the call of Pastor Nate Glaze as Senior Pastor of Bridges Community Church. The result of the vote will be communicated later in the 11:00 AM service.
