Building Worship Bridges is a way of being the church. Worship and the worship service have to potential to bridge the gap between the church and the neighborhood. Worship is a gathering of varying levels of disciples of Jesus Christ. All who follow Christ are called to reach out to the new people through worship. We accelerate neighborhood connections when we plan and lead worship with the guest in mind. Building Worship Bridges provides ideas, strategies, and processes for making worship in your church a competent, compelling experience that new people want to attend.
