Bridge Community Church Statement of Faith
The Christian & Missionary Alliance Churches stand upon the solid foundations of basic Christian beliefs taken from the Scriptures. We believe that the Lord, through His Word, has the authority to guide us in what is essential. Though there are many beliefs and doctrines that could be listed, the Alliance churches have chosen these as our firm beliefs. Bridge Community Church whole-heartedly embraces these Biblical and historical statements of faith.

Below are the seven Core Values of the National and District levels of the C&MA that are in bold letters. Number eight is our addition. The commentary below each one is our attempt to personalize them and to put our fingerprints on these core values of the C&MA. We, at Bridge Community Church, wholeheartedly embrace them. As Rev. Jeff Brown, our district superintendent says, “I would like these to be not just our core values we believe, but our core values that express our behavior”. While we acknowledge that some of these are not yet a full reality, they are what we desire to become.
What are core values? According to Audrey Malphurs in Advanced Strategic Planning, they are “the constant, passionate, biblical core beliefs that drive the ministry.”
