ABOUT US

The Bridge Church, a Nazarene community, was conceived on June 15, 1998. About 5-6 months later, The Bridge held its first gathering (Nov 29, 1998) under the ministry of Gordon and Rachelle Wong. Heading into its 21st year, the congregation called Dr. Michael Halcomb to be their second pastor (Aug 1, 2019).

OUR MISSION

The Bridge strives to be a church that nurtures and multiplies Deep Study, Deep Prayer, Deep Community, and Deep Service across the island of Oahu.

*Note: If you look closely at our logo above, you'll see 2 things: 1) The letter "b," which stands for "Bridge"; and, 2) The ancient Christian symbol of a fish, which is diving down to the depths. This image captures our emphasis on being a "Deep" church. Come join us and go deeper!

​

WHAT WE DO

Our 4 Core Motives/Values are:

​

1. Deep Study: An intentional focus on Apostolic, Historic, Orthodox, catholic preaching and teaching from the pulpit and in our Deep Groups.

​

2. Deep Prayer: A commitment to praying regularly and consistently for ourselves, one another, and our communities.

​

3. Deep Community: An aim to build and nurture real, authentic relationships with one another both corporately and in our Deep Groups.

​

4. Deep Service: A monthly goal to reach into communities across the island where there are areas of need and meet those needs.

​

OUR COMMUNITY

The Bridge Church is dedicated to creating and sustaining a culture of deep study, prayer, community, and service. We are a people who long to go deeper in each of these areas. We seek to grow individually through robust teaching and preaching, as well as numerically through the creation of Deep Groups (home groups of 5-10). In so doing, we want to flip the model of being a legacy church, that is, a "come-to" church, and return to Jesus' model of being a "go-to" church, that is, a church that goes to people where they are.

​

The Bridge Church is a Nazarene community. We are committed to the ideals and distinctives of the Nazarene Church. Learn more about our Wesleyan heritage and denomination here:
