BridgeLink

If you are interested in being a Faith Community Support Organization to help one or more of our Service Providers accomplish their mission, thank you for your interest. We believe that as you collaborate, this does not need to be merely a one sided relationship where you give and others receive. This will also allow you to fulfill your mission. Because, while our faith communities may have differences, we can all stand on the common ground of these abbreviated words from Jesus in Luke 10:27: 

In what is often called the Great Commandment, Jesus made it clear that our neighbors are often beyond the walls of where our faith community gathers. And we all have room to grow into this enormous challenge.

So, collaboration with BridgeLink will help our neighbors in Anoka county. But you and many volunteers from your faith community can also grow spiritually from these efforts. If you will take one or more of the following five opportunities, we will show you how this is possible.

Four Opportunities for Faith Community Collaboration

Note: Each of these is a progressively larger step,

however you do not need to do all of these, nor do you have to do them in order.

This is a step beyond being aware of the BridgeLink opportunity through a friend, our Faith Community Forum Breakfast, or our website. Through a face to face appointment we can give you a clearer understanding of what your collaboration options are and what would be a good next step. We would be pleased to present the purpose and programming of BridgeLink to your staff, board, or whoever would most benefit from either the big picture or a discussion of very specific service opportunities. We promise that we will tailor the discussion to your interest and objectives.  Contact Pastor Jim Barber to book an appointment.  

Opportunity # 2           Select a Starting Point Service Project

Opportunity # 3           Participate in a Service Project

BridgeLink organizes events each month to assist our Service Providers. The next opportunities are listed on our Home Page. You and your faith community can select from the many opportunties to help others in our community. Details for these events will be provided well in advance to facilitate your planning. You may want to participate in just a single service project or select several different types of projects to provide your volunteers with the opportunity for meaningful community service. Please contact Jill Discher to see how.

Opportunity # 4           Become a BridgeLink Faith Community Associate
