Community Impact
Whilst we are currently a small network of Simple Churches,
our primary emphasis is to envision and empower those
with whom we are connected to discover their gifts and
passion in order to make a difference for God in the world.
We want to put the responsibility for this in the hands
of individuals (who may partner with others in their Simple
Church), rather than such initiatives always being initiated
and driven by BridgePoint as an entity in itself.
Here you will see different ways in which we are seeking
under God to make an impact for good in people’s lives.
If you want more information or would like to get involved
or wish to add to the list a ministry or initiative
of which you are a part, please just contact us. |

Most of us spend the major part of our time in the workplace.
If the fruit of our faith is to be seen anywhere, it should
be in the workplace and so we seek to encourage people
to find Christ and equally to express their life and faith
in Him in the workplace. For some, this may provide opportunity
to serve, pray with and for people as well as give testimony
to the Lord’s goodness. Some of us are involved in workplace
ministry such as fellowship groups and prayer groups.
Others are engaged in relational ministry in the business
world.
Thinking outside the box, it seems very appropriate
for us to think of planting Simple Churches and prayer/ministry
groups among the people with whom we spend much of our
waking time – our work colleagues.

Part of our dream is to see a greater expression of unity
among the body of Christ in our neighborhoods. Often,
believers from different denominations or fellowships
rarely connect with one another for prayer or fellowship
despite living next door to one another in some instances.
The Psalmist reminds us that wherever brethren live together
in unity, the Lord commands his blessing. We would love
to see and be a part of a grassroots movement of believers
getting together in neighborhoods to see how they can
serve and bless people they live amongst.
At the very least in our own Simple Churches, we would
like to be community oriented and see groups emerge
that were focused in a more local area so as to facilitate
more spontaneous fellowship, sharing and ministry.

The institution of family is coming under major attack
in our culture. This comes as great emotional and financial
expense and suffering. We are focused on teaching and
modeling relational principles and practices that will
help to strengthen marriages, families and communities.
Look out for events and activities that have a focus upon
stronger, more intimate relationships.

Wherever possible we wish to partner with existing ministries
and missional initiatives without feeling the need to
keep ‘reinventing the wheel’ or the need to own and have
our name upon these. We encourage people in our communities
to look for ways in which they can use their gifts and
talents to serve the needs of our city and beyond.
Currently we have people involved with or are supporting
with prayer, time, and/or finance, the following ministries;
