We Are the Body of Christ Called to be Jesus, Building Bridges of Life and Hope, Where We Live, Work, and Play.
Our History
We were launched as Bridge Church Fredericksburg in September of 2019 by Max Lucado and the team of Oak Hills Church, San Antonio, Texas.
The Bridge, formerly OHC Fredericksburg, was a satellite campus of Oak Hills serving the greater Fredericksburg area for our first 10 years. Max approached Jimmy Pruitt about launching the campus as an independent church and invited Jimmy to be the lead pastor.
The rest is history and it is evident in the growth, vibrancy, and health of BCF that this was not just a good idea, but a God idea.

Statement of Faith
At Bridge Church we believe…
a) There is one God, eternally existing in three persons. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 8; Eph. 1:13-14)
b) God, out of love for his children, sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and rise from the dead. (I Cor. 15:1-8)
c) The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the final authority in life and doctrine. (2 Tim. 3:16)
d) Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior. (Rom. 3:23, Rom. 6:23, John 3:16)
e) Those trusting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith and be baptized. (Rom. 10:9; Acts 2:38)
f) The Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ. (Eph. 4:1-16)
g) Christ will one day return and reign forever. (1 Thess. 4:13-18)
