A Church
for All People

 

Bridge of Peace is...

A church serving the communities of Morgan Village and Fairview with the Good News of God's unconditional love in Jesus Christ!

A multi-racial and multi-cultural community open to all people: young and old, black and white, Anglo and Latino, rich or poor, gay or straight, able-bodied or differently-abled. We are all children of God in need of God's astounding mercy and grace.

Make Bridge of Peace
Your Church Today!

We invite you in Jesus' name to be a part of this exciting newly organized church! If you already are a member of a church, synagogue or mosque, we thank God for your witness and pray continued blessings on you. But if you are not part of any religious community and have been looking for meaning and purpose in your life, visit us.

Good News Story

 

    God's Work, Our Hands

We thank God for the commitment of this congregation to make its pledge to supporting this ministry in this time and place as well as other ministries locally and internationally.

We thank God for the blessing of being able to participate in opportunities to advocate for God’s people in May and June. We were able to be in Trenton for Advocacy Days and thank The Rev. Brice Davidson for his continued ministry through the Lutheran Office of Governmental Ministries in New Jersey. We also were on the State House steps for the Tour de Revs as they travel 13,000 miles on a bicycle to all our Synods ending at the Churchwide Assembly in Minneapolis. It was wonderful to hear their story and to support their mission. Please pray for them...
