About Bridge Disability Ministries!

Our Mission "Because Bridge Disability Ministries honors the God-given dignity and giftedness of persons with disabilities, we build relationships to alleviate isolation and enrich our churches and community."

     We’d like to meet you and walk alongside you to discover new opportunities for living a full and inclusive life, spiritually, emotionally, and physically in your community…Come visit our Events site for the calendar of scheduled gatherings and activities! OR visit our Volunteer site for opportunities that are open to all persons and encourage the sharing of all abilities in our work.

Motivation Behind Our Mission:
We have learned that often the most painful thing for people living with disabilities is the exclusion and isolation they experience – often we hear them say that is far more challenging than the disability itself. Their is a growing need (one in five persons live with long term disabilities according to a 2000 US Census), to address individual and family needs and recognize economic issues associated with cutbacks in government services. The majority of those we serve are of limited or low income. We do not charge for Chaplaincy service, mobility equipment or event participation and do not receive State or Federal funds.

MEETNG THE NEEDS….What Bridge Disability Ministries does:
To assist people living with physical and/or developmental disabilities, their family or care givers, services may include:
• Spiritual Care - Our experienced Chaplains with a heart for disability concerns, provide individual care through home visits, development and cultivation of community connections and programs like Circle of Friends that facilitate spiritual companionship and supportive relationships that help bring about a sense of belonging and encouragement to realize a persons abilities, hopes and dreams.
• Mobility Equipment - Through the efforts of a dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and caring members of the community who donate items, we are able to provide refurbished mobility medical equipment at no charge to persons who need it.
• Community Connections & Events – provide social activities for opportunities to build friendships, community connections and awareness, educational resources and materials to leaders, family and care givers.
Guardianship Services - Bridge serves as legal guardian for 42 persons, who have developmental disabilities, little or no support from family, and limited financial resources.

Bridge is a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry supported by contributions from individuals, churches, businesses, grantors, service groups, and special fund-raisers.
