About Us
Bridge City Church is a vibrant, multi-generational community of believers who love God and express that love through passionate worship, biblical teaching, and authentic relationships. We’re part of the Australian Christian Churches movement — evangelical, Pentecostal, and Spirit-led — and we believe in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit for today.
In all we do, we seek to be:
God-focused, Christ-centred, Word-based, and Spirit-led.
Our Church
We believe the church is called to be a bridge — connecting people to God, and to one another.
At Bridge City Church, we aim to:
Build bridges of faith and reconciliation in our community
Train, equip, and release each person into the ministry God has called them to
Reflect the beauty of a multi-generational and cross-cultural church
Function in our God-given gifts to share the gospel with all people
Together, we are building the Kingdom of God in unity and love.
Our Beliefs
Our History
Bridge City Church has been a part of the Murray Bridge community for over 45 years. While our name has changed throughout the years, our purpose has remained the same — to serve God faithfully and support our local community with love and hope.
Our Vision
To lead people into a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ,
and to grow the Church — locally, nationally, and internationally.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God — timeless, trustworthy, and relevant to our lives today. We believe in one eternal God, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who is loving, holy, and actively at work in the world.
We believe that Jesus Christ — fully God and fully man — lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose again, and is the only way to reconciliation with God. Salvation comes through repentance, faith in Jesus, and surrender to His will.
We believe in water baptism and the baptism in the Holy Spirit, with spiritual gifts — including speaking in tongues — active and available today. As followers of Christ, we’re called to live holy, Spirit-empowered lives, using our God-given gifts to worship Him, serve others, and share the gospel.
We believe in divine healing, the reality of Heaven and hell, and that Jesus will return as He promised.
