BRIDGE FELLOWSHIP
Our Fellowship
Bridge Fellowship is a ministry of the Michigan Association of Regular Baptist Churches, a group formed in 1942 that currently includes over 150 churches. Though each church in our fellowship is autonomous, we find value in working together for the glory of God in the great state of Michigan.
Our Leadership
The Bridge Fellowship’s leadership team is headed by the Executive Director, Director of Leadership Development, Director of Church Health, and Director of Pastoral Fellowship. This team works in cooperation with and is accountable to the Council of 16. The Council of 16 is composed of pastors from the fellowship churches who are appointed by a vote of those churches.
Our Churches
Due to our large geographical footprint, we have eight regional fellowships that meet throughout the year in their respective areas to encourage fellowship between pastors and churches. Because we are diverse in relation to the size and health of our congregations, we are committed to helping churches and pastors who are going through difficult times.
