Bridge Birthday
A decade ago, a small group of people in Charles City started with a simple but bold prayer: to be a bridge. We wanted to create a space where anyone—regardless of their story, their past, or their doubts—could find a path to hope and a community that felt like home.
Since then, we’ve seen 3,650 days of God’s faithfulness. We’ve seen families restored, neighbors helping neighbors during Iowa winters, and a whole lot of laughter and coffee shared in our lobby.
The Bridge Church isn’t just a building on the map; it’s a collection of your stories. We are inviting the entire Charles City community to a special 10th Anniversary Service.
Join us for one of our three services at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11:00 AM.

Join us for one of our three service times: 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:00 AM.
We’re gathering to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and the new life it offers to every single one of us. No matter what your story looks like or how long it’s been since you stepped into a church, we would love to share this morning with you.
Come as you are. We’ll have a warm cup of coffee and a treat waiting for you, an engaging space where your kids can learn about God’s love at their own level, and even a spot to grab a family photo together.
