BLUEPRINTS FOR GROWTH: A JOURNEY OF DISCIPLESHIP
Blueprints for Growth represents a church-wide strategy for making disciples at Bridgeway. Our desire is to bring people to maturity in Christ, but what does that look like?
We are not interested in a one-size-fits-all program but a strategy and approach that fits what God is doing at Bridgeway and the unique culture He has given us. And we, as individuals, are at different places in our walks with the Lord. So we offer a variety of classes to help us grow spiritually, no matter where we are on that journey.
Each fall and spring, we offer a number of adult classes designed to help us get better grounded in our walks with the Lord and get a better grasp of the Bible. We have assembled an array of gifted teachers who are passionate about what they are teaching. Most of them have graduate degrees in Bible, Theology or related fields, and they have extensive teaching experience.
Check the church website or the lobby to find out the latest information on what Blueprints classes are being offered and how to register.
