Where We Are Located:

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The following are the core beliefs of theBridge Christiansburg based on the
 foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and
 ministry is rooted in, and flows out of, these biblical doctrines.
The Fall of Man
We believe that Adam and Eve, the precursors of the entire human race, were created in the image of God; however, they disobeyed God and became sinners. Through Adam, all people inherited sin’s nature and consequences, and all are in need of a Redeemer (Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12, 19).
The Plan of Redemption
We believe that Christ died for all of us while we were still sinners; He took the punishment for our sin. With His own blood, He purchased salvation and redemption for all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Isaiah 53:5; Titus 2:14).
Salvation through Grace
We believe that salvation is totally an act of God’s grace that is accessed through faith in Jesus Christ. No person can be good enough to earn salvation, and “being good” does not contribute to receiving God’s love and favor (Ephesians 2:8, 13).
Repentance & Acceptance
We believe that, when people repent for their sins and accept Christ, they are justified through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross. To repent means to be sorry for sins, but it also means to turn away from a sinful lifestyle. Accepting Christ means believing in Him as the only Savior. To be justified means being declared “not guilty” in regard to sin (Romans 10:9-10; 1 John 1:9).
New Birth
We believe that the change that takes place in people when they are “born again” is very real. They receive righteousness through Jesus Christ, and they are empowered by the Holy Spirit; therefore, they should have new desires, interests and pursuits (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

our story

TheBridge was planted in 1989 under the direction of Dr. Sterling Brackett, who also served as the President of LIFE Bible College East, a Foursquare ministry. Originally, the church was called New Life Foursquare Church and it was to be a campus church and training center for the students of the college AND to provide a local church for the families of the NRV.

In 2005, under the leadership of Pastor Nick Gough, the name of the church was changed to theBridge Foursquare Church. The vision of the name change was to reflect the vision of the church to become a "bridge" to the local community. From 2007 to 2011, the church was under the leadership of Pastor Paul Sheldon, who also oversaw the construction and remodeling of the CrossPointe campus.

Since 2012, theBridge is led by Pastors Will and Juniece Fillingham. The heart and vision of the church is to be like a "river" - we desire to see people spiritually advance downstream and be farther along in their walk with the Lord. Our focus is the individuals and families of the NRV, along with the students of the local universities and colleges.
