We receive God’s love through his son, Jesus, and by the power of his Spirit we extend it to the world. By using the acronym, COSMOS, we acknowledge that this task is bigger than us!

COSMOS describes biblical functions of the Jesus-community. These are not programs or departments within the church that people pick and choose.

It is the goal of The Bridge Community to be a relational place where together we can pursue all of these six functions. This means that the church won’t develop competing activities or functions at the church; instead we will encourage everyone who calls The Bridge home to simplify their lives and embrace these functions in a holistic, natural flow of life.
