•The Bridge Christian Church

Meets at M. Turner Auditorium,

540 Rose Drive, 707-747-5522, thebridgei­cu.com. Why do people come to The Bridge? Simple, they want their lives to matter for a cause greater than themselves. It’s not about being entertaine­d with light shows or concerts, but rather to authentica­lly live out our Christian faith. Pastor Flint volunteers as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Solano County and urges every member to find their own unique role in our urgent ministry. This signature ministry at the Bridge is ICU (Innocence of Children Upheld) which exists to stem the tide of unspeakabl­e evil exploitati­on by focusing on protecting, providing for, and preparing the most vulnerable children everywhere. The ICU ministry is committed to Prayer, Action and Unity. We welcome visitors to our fellowship who are interested in pursuing a faith in God that moves us to a “religion that God accepts as pure and faultless, to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep ourselves from being polluted by the world.” Our weekly service is Sunday at 10:00 am. Adult disciplesh­ip group meets at 9:00 and the Children’s Program (Heart & Soul) dismisses from the worship service after music concludes.
