Welcome to LifeBridge Church

LifeBridge
church is not your typical church. A lot of churches will say
this and then go on to use words like missional, incarnational, and
many other words that people do not use in the real world. So
what makes LifeBridge different in plain English? At the heart of
LifeBridge is a refuge and a real acceptance of who you are and where
you are. We are not a place you go to, we are a place you
belong to and have safe harbor in.
We believe that hearts
are precious, but they are also fragile. Many people are fed
up
with church and with Christians. If that is you and you are interested
in being a part of something, then LifeBridge could be the place for
you. We are not, by design, a church for Sunday mornings,
though
we will have Sunday services. We believe that church is you
and
me and all of us and not a building, a service, or a small group.
I am who I am because of who we are as we journey through
life
together. We are a place without judgment and without
conditions
to your heart or secret handshakes.
LifeBridge is a
place where we can unravel the mysteries of the Bible and of the person
of Jesus and learn how to live that out as we help people in
Bolingbrook, Will County, Haiti, and where ever else you and your
neighbor live. If any of this intrigues you, read on.
If
this does not sound like what you are looking for in a church, there
are many other places in Lockport with fine communities and you can
find them
here.
The Idea of LifeBridge
To
show all people
the unconditional love and grace of Jesus without any reservations
because of their lifestyle or religious background, past or future.
This love has no agenda behind it (I Cor. 13:5). This grace sets no
time line on personal change or standards for spiritual growth (Romans
4:4-5). The idea is to be a part of people’s lives because we truly
care for them rather than to fulfill a religious duty; to walk with
them through all their struggles as a part of their life, not as a
religious outsider.
The desire at the heart
of LifeBridge is to see this idea spread to
other communities and churches. We aspire to see people from other
communities and churches taking to heart the true message of the grace
and love of Christ, and in turn to see them spread this message to
those in their community, building relationships and sharing in the
life experiences of those around them (Gal. 6:2-3), and living out the
grace, hope and love that God has blessed them with.
When and Where
LifeBridge Church meets on Sunday's at noon. We meet at the Christian
Ministry Center located at 604 East Ninth Street in Lockport, Il.
