Reload Conference in Indianapolis


At the end of April, Bridges took our high school students to an urban ministries conference called Reload. It was unbelievable! We learned about transforming our community, being relevant to youth of this generation, and how to make a true difference on a urban level. Pastor Harvey Carey, the picture above, was the keynote speaker and really challenged us to change the way we minister to youth. Worship was awesome and networking with urban leaders was very beneficial. Our youth talked the whole way home from Indianapolis about some of the ways we can improve Bridges. We highly recommend Reload!

Family Day at Indiana Wesleyan

Last March, Bridges took our students and their families to Indiana Wesleyan for a fun day on campus. Students, volunteers and families from both middle school progams and our high school program saw "National Treasure 2" on campus, hung out in the game room and had pizza at Mario's. It was a great experience to get our kids on a college campus and provide an opportunity to spend a day with their families. Hopefully, in the next few years we will have a few students attending IWU.
