BRIDGE CONNECT GROUPS
Connect Groups are the heartbeat of The Bridge United Methodist Church. These small group bible studies are made up of men and women who are looking for a church community that offers conversation, open dialogue, meaningful interaction, and friends to walk with through life's ups and downs. Bible study topics vary by small group so finding the right connect group is easy. Grow your understanding of the Bible and how it applies to your everyday life.
Each group has it's own leader, meeting day/time/place, and rhythms of meeting. Some offer childcare, some offer dessert, some offer both! Because we value relationship, we intentionally keep the group size between 8 and 12 members. When a group "fills up", we will create a new group within a few weeks.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
In the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Workbook, Peter outlines a roadmap for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. He unveils what's wrong with our current definition of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but seven steps to change that will help you experience authentic faith and hunger for God.
Though Peter was an experienced pastor of a growing church, his life and faith remained emotionally unhealthy. Like so many in the church, he routinely:
- avoided healthy conflict in the name of keeping the peace
- ignored and suppressed emotions
- used work for God as an excuse to run from God
- lived without limits
In this updated and expanded video, Peter helps you unpack core biblical principles to guide you into an experience of lasting, beneath-the-surface transformation in your relationship with Christ. This video is Part One of the Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course that also includes the bestselling books, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day-by-Day. Join us for a powerful journey that will walk you through a door that will change forever the way you love God, others, and yourself.
The Remarkable Women of the Bible: And Their Message for Your Life Today
In this inspiring look at the lives of women in the Bible, bestselling author Elizabeth George reveals refreshing models of faith for today. Stories about Eve, Deborah, Sarah, Ruth, Mary, and other women from Scripture offer testimonies of changed lives and reflections on the remarkable strengths God cultivates in women who love Him—Jocebed is an example of a remarkable mother, Deborah's life is an illustration of wisdom, Ruth and Naomi model pure devotion, and Hannah demonstrates sacrifice.
Conveying the assurance of God's love, The Remarkable Women of the Bible provides nourishment from a woman's point of view and connects today's woman with the source of fulfillment that sustained her sisters in Bible times—a relationship with God.

The Absolute Basics of the Christian Faith-Confirmation Class
Like a tattoo, the fundamental truths of the faith are supposed to be permanently etched into us. However, a lifetime of learning, loving, and living the scriptures requires that we begin to understand where they come from and what they mean at some point.
The Absolute Basics of the Christian Faith is a visual introduction to the core beliefs of the Christian faith. This eight-week study is stocked with rich explanations and engaging videos that bring catechesis to life.
