Our Story

Our congregation began in 1857 and met in a log structure. In 1870 a new church building was constructed near the log structure to accommodate the growing congregation. This second church building was dedicated in 1876. A third church home, built at 389 Canada Street and dedicated in 1905, was functional for nearly 100 years.

Yet, another chapter began in 2003 when, under the name of Marysville Baptist Church, a new modern facility was constructed at 150 Cowperthwaite Street.

In 2022, after two years of reimagining what church life could be, we relaunched as Bridge Church, with a renewed focus around two core principles: Jesus is the bridge between God and humankind, and we are invited to join God in loving, serving and engaging others.

Bridge Church no longer gathers only in a traditional church building. We meet in homes. We meet in offices. We share meals in the community. More recently we have added a live stream of our weekend gatherings allowing more people from around the world to experience The Bridge.

Our Vision

We are becoming an authentic faith community who, being rooted in the Gospel of Jesus, is passionate in spirit, creative in our expression and innovative in our mission, equipping Jesus followers to love, obey and serve God with all their hearts.

Wherever you are in your journey, we have a place for you. We are all becoming something. We believe that becoming more loving toward God and our neighbours is EVERYTHING!

Our Team

We see leadership a bit differently. We take a team approach in all we do. Rather than having a single hierarchical leader and structure, our team of pastors has fashioned a “first among equals” approach to leadership. We make better decisions and serve more effectively together as a team than as lone rangers. This approach to leadership extends to a broader congregational Leadership and Administration Team (LAT), which oversees policy, building and budgets. We are better and stronger together so we value TEAM in all that we do.
