There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot... -Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
CrossBridge the church is no longer meeting.
But no one's saying you can't still visit the website.

CrossBridge's last regular meeting was held on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010. The majority of us have found a home at EastGate Fellowship. The CrossBridge website remains active.
The reasons we needed to close are many. But the primary reason is that Dave (pastor) needed to get a real job. Both in finances and energy, his family has paid too high a price. It was a difficult decision but it was clear that the next step in following Jesus was to shut the doors.
We are still thankful for the way God used this small church in the three years from 2007-2010. We are deeply honored to have been able to serve God and others here in Bay County. Thanks be to God. 
CrossBridge was characterized by making the teaching of Jesus practical: being the hands and feet of Jesus on earth. So we were a host site for Angel Food Ministries (which will NOT be discontinued) had an active food pantry and co-sponsored the 12 Cars of Christmas (along with 19th St. Auto Center and Professional Auto Body). In the last three years approximately 50 needy families received a working automobile and moved thousands of boxes of food. For a season we also sponsored "The Bridge Venue" where youth congregated, gyrated and acted like young folks.
CrossBridge was a place where people could be themselves. We always tried to accept people without judging them and help them follow Jesus. Jesus said not to judge, so we did our best not to.
We never owned a building and only had a permanent location for a year (which technically makes it only a temporary location anyway...) We rented facilities like the cafeteria at Oakland Terrace Elementary School because we don't think that God wanted us to spend a whole lot of money we don't have on a building that only gets used once a week. So we used whatever money is left over after paying the bills to help those in need.
Relationships are very important to us. So we met together in homes and restaurants and coffee shops. We only had one public gathering each week so we can spend time with our families and friends. We believe that we are the church all the time, whether we are at church or not. 
We would love for you to join us at EastGate. Sundays gatherings are at 9 and 11, but most of the CrossBridge folks go to the 11.
But...
will continue!!
Some people have expressed concern, but we have no intention of discontinuing our involvement with Angel Food Ministries. Our volunteer staff is strong and not dependent solely on volunteers from CrossBridge. So don't worry! Also, we will leave this website up so that you can continue to easily access the information you need regarding Angel Food Ministries. It remains our honor to serve you in this way!
