theBridge was planted in 1989 under the direction of Dr. Sterling Brackett, who also served as the President of LIFE Bible College East, a Foursquare ministry. Originally, the church was called New Life Foursquare Church, intended as a campus church and training center for the college's students and a local church for the families of the NRV.
In 2005, under the leadership of Pastor Nick Gough, the name of the church was changed to theBridge Foursquare Church. The vision of the name change was to reflect the vision of the church to become a "bridge"

to the local community. From 2007 to 2011, Pastor Paul Sheldon led the church and oversaw the construction and remodeling of the CrossPointe campus.
Since 2012, theBridge has been led by Pastors Will and Juniece Fillingham. The heart and vision of the church is to be like a "river" - we desire to see people spiritually advance downstream and be farther along in their walk with the Lord. Our focus is on the individuals and families of the NRV, along with the students of the local universities and colleges.
