Here to Serve
Ministry happens because people answer the call of God on their lives to go beyond themselves and become a servant. It sounds upside down compared to the way the world would describe leadership. We’d like to introduce you to some of the servants who have answered that call at The Bride Church. There are even more people serving with The Bride Church than those listed here, both within the church and in the community. Check out our SERVE page if you would like more information on serving with The Bride Church or to get involved.
