Bridges
Bridges is an opportunity for students to build community through conversation. The purpose of Bridges is simple: Bridges serves as the facilitator for new authentic connections that are centered around impactful conversation. Bridges for men and women is a special time for students to grow together in community while each individual pursues growth in leadership and understanding. Bridges, as the name suggests, is a time for students to build relationships with individuals they might not typically interact with. Bridges opens the door for authentic relationships to be formed around Christ-centered conversations.
Each time Bridges meets, a faculty member, staff member, or Biblical community leader will facilitate a conversation that prioritizes Biblical formation and leadership development. Students will have the opportunity to grow individually and with one another as they learn from campus leaders. Students who participate in Bridges are encouraged to invest in new people outside of their time in Bridges. Whether it's grabbing lunch together, going on a walk, or getting coffee, students are encouraged to continue the conversation that begins in Bridges.
When does Bridges meet?
Both Bridges for Men and Bridges for Women will meet at 6:30am in Luther Hall beginning the week after Fall Break in October. They will meet during both the fall and spring semesters.
