Bridge Ministry

Bridge: A Preteen Ministry for 5th and 6th Grade

Bridge helps preteens build faith, grow in confidence, and find where they belong.
The Bridge Ministry at New Heights Community Church is designed for 5th and 6th graders as they navigate the transition from childhood to the teen years. Bridge meets every Sunday at 10:45 AM. Preteens open God’s Word, make friends, and learn what it means to own their faith. Adult leaders walk with each student, help them grow in Jesus and in confidence about who God made them to be, and get them ready for NH Youth.

What to Expect

When you arrive, check your child in at the check-in station and drop them off in the Bridge area. Bridge students start in the auditorium with the whole church and sit together in the Bridge section for the first few songs.

After worship, students return to the Bridge area for Bible teaching, small-group discussion, and games.

At the end of the service, please return to the Bridge area to check your child out.
