A bridge is one of the world’s most important structures because it is designed to bring things together—land, roads, and people. As Christians, God has given us the awesome privilege to serve Him as bridge builders for Christ.

A bridge builder is anyone who has made a serious commitment to engage people from different backgrounds, challenges, experiences and beliefs, and to make Christianity relevant to all.

We need only look to Christ’s ministry as the model for overcoming isolation and answering God’s call to “dwell together in unity.” Oh, to show the world what God will do when His people come together on one accord!

If you pastor a church or head a Christian ministry, I invite your church or ministry to join us in building bridges that connect us to one another and to those we seek to serve.

Together, we can construct better bridges to more effectively communicate God’s liberating message of hope and impact the Washington area, the region, and the world for Jesus Christ.

In His Service,

Reverend Harold Brinkley
Executive Director

Statement of Purpose

Project Bridges, Inc. is organized to operate exclusively for religious, charitable and educational purposes. The organization seeks to:

• develop a network of churches and faith-based community organizations to combat social and spiritual problems, in local communities;
• facilitate programs and support services that strengthen the capacity of churches and faith-based and community organizations to combat these problems;
• provide resources, education, and training to churches and faith-based and community organizations to help strengthen and expand their capacity to relieve poverty, serve the needy in their communities, and provide biblical solutions to the heart issues underlying both social and spiritual problems.

Project Bridges will engage in activities that we believe are necessary and proper to accomplish our objectives and purposes, and accomplish both our vision and mission.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, ultimately authoritative Word of God.

We believe there is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is Deity, that He was born of a virgin, that we are redeemed by His atoning death through His shed blood, that He bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven, and that He will come again in power and great glory.

We believe that individuals are saved through a direct, personal encounter with the risen Lord, at which time they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the present Ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whom Christ indwells each believer, enabling him or her to live a godly life of obedience as he or she reaches for maturity.

We believe the Holy Spirit unites all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that together they form one body, the church.
