What is The
Bridge?
"The Bridge" is the youth
group of West Allis Wesleyan Church. All teens from junior
high through high school are welcome to participate. Not only
will they be provided with bible training and spiritual guidance,
but we do some fun things!
From attending retreats, conventions, ski
trips and camping (to name a few), our program is designed to give
the youth an opportunity to provide services to the community in an
effort to reach our vision of outreach, evangelism and servanthood.

Our
Philosophy of Ministry
Our philosophy of ministry
begins with these four beliefs:
-
Do
everything with a purpose
-
Every teen
has great potential
-
Behind every
behavior is a need
-
Students
will live up to your communicated expectations every time
Our other
beliefs about youth ministry include:
-
Youth
ministry is a process, not a product
-
Direction is
more important than pace
-
Relationships are the keys to reaching teenagers
-
Teach the
truth
-
If students
are teachable, they will learn
-
People
cannot understand truth unless God enables them
-
Teach, test
and solidify learning through real-life experiences
-
Together,
everyone achieves more (TEAM)
-
Be
accountable
-
Be teachable
-
Practice
humility and being real
-
Understand
youth culture in order to contextualize, but not compromise the
Message
