Think Different
Someone has written a book called “They like Jesus but not the Church”. There are many who could identify with that statement. Someone was reflecting in a very similar way over around 1995 and it is partly why The Bridge was brought into being. So, we do try and do things differently, we try to do and be church differently. It is not for everyone, but for some it ‘works’. If you like it is part of our culture, it is the way we do things around here, it is our DNA. Sometimes we get it wrong but we usually have a lot of fun trying!
So if you want to try Jesus but are not into Church come and try Cease, Badminton or Men’s Moot.
