God Orders Our Steps  

One of the hopes and dreams of our multicultural ministry here in the City of Camden has been to be a "teaching site," that is, to share with others near and far our experiences and learnings as we build a church that is multi-racial, multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-lingual. Our native languages include English, Spanish and Portuguese. In 2010, we had grown to 174 baptized members, ¼ White, ¼ African American, ¼ Latino and ¼ of mixed ethnic background. We have welcomed Portuguese speaking disciples from as far as North Philadelphia and Burlington County and spanish spekaing people from three countries searching for a Lutheran Church which worships in their native language. In the past two years we welcomed adult and youth leaders from a number of middle and high schools, churches, and Synods for immersion experiences most recently hosting a pastor from Boston and a youth group from a mission partner church.This December, we host confirmands from two of our mission partners for worship and fellowship. Two times this year we will host students from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia as part of their first year of field rotations and we continue to be a field education site for second year rotation students currently mentoring The Rev. Seminarian Thomas Richter.

Bridge of Peace is a Reconciling in Christ Congregation and strongly supports ministry to families with differently-abled children including designing specialized Family Bible School experiences. Please take some time to read our mission statement and view our year in pictures, and see how our partnership in mission with the wider church is making a difference in the city of Camden and beyond. Please take the time to meet our Deacon Board and Guidance Team by clicking on the links on the left hand side of the page. Through our Peace Center we provide many social and support services to our community including meals to our neighborhood doing 2400 meals last month and serving 82 baskets to neighbors and friends at Thanksgiving thanks to St. Matthew in Moorestown, Boyscout Troop 42, and St. Paul in Hainesport. We also sponsored a community garden again this year and have been blessed with many fresh vegetables for our pantry thanks to Miss Rhea. Please worship with us on Sundays at 11:00 AM or Wednesday at 6:30 PM at our Peace Center. In addition, join us weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Advent at 6:30 as we to join together with others in the congregation and make either Tuesday or Wednesday our day of devotion. On Tuesday at 6:30 during the children and youth program, please join us for a meal at 6:00 PM prior to our Advent Devotion  and then watch as our children and youth excitedly prepare for Christ’s coming in a number of ways. On Wednesday we will meet at the Peace Center at 6:30 PM as part of our weekly bible study time and again light our Advent wreath and watch and prepare. If you are unable to join us gather with your family at home either evening at 6:30 and daily and know we will be together in Spirit. We also join with our sister congregation, Lord of Life in Tabernacle, who will be doing the same devotions on Wednesday evenings and know we are one in Christ’s Spirit. We welcome all!
