2022 Confirmation

LifeBridge is going to be starting a “Confirmation Class” for those in 6th-8th grades (approximately ages 11-14).

Confirmation classes are a right of passage that helps our youth:

  1. grow in their relationship with Jesus and faith in Him,
  2. learn the basics of the Christian Faith,
  3. confirm their Faith to the Church,
  4. let’s the Church celebrate them, and
  5. allows them to become voting members of LifeBridge.

If you are a youth (or have a youth) who fits this age range and this is their desire, we would love to have him or her join us for these classes!

Our usual meeting dates and times will be on Wednesday nights during the SURGE small group times.

We will have our first informational meeting on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, during the SURGE small group time.

If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. You can reach me at this email address or on my cell at (713) 965-6761.

Thank you, God bless, and I hope to see you and/or your youth on October 19!

In joyful anticipation,
Pastor Scott

“The Power of Knowing God” — New FORGE Men Series Study

Men, get to know God as He really is!

Beginning on Tuesday, September 27, we will cover a new study series by Dr. Tony Evans, The Power of Knowing God.

Dr. Tony Evans believes seeking to know God is life’s greatest purpose. In this practical, six-session video series, he shares strategies and skills for how you can live victoriously as a child of God.

Your connection with God can be so much more than going to church, reading the Bible, and attending study groups. Using in-depth scriptural studies alongside stories from his own life, Dr. Evans will equip you with the tools you need for pursuing an authentic and life-transforming relationship with your Savior.

This new series begins on September 27, 2022, at our usual time. (6:00 PM for food; study beginning at 6:30 PM.)

Join us!

Difficult Topics

FORGE wanted to cover some “Difficult Topics” from May 24 – August 23, 2022, to get a handle on what’s going on in the world and how we, as Christians, should respond to those issues.

For our time together we determined to go through the following questions and process:

  1. What is the ISSUE?
  2. Do I truly UNDERSTAND the issue? [Opposing viewpoints, etc.]
  3. How do you FEEL about the issue? Why?
  4. What do the SCRIPTURES say about the issue, directly or indirectly?
  5. What would Jesus do? What would Jesus have US do? What lesson(s) is this teaching me?

The dates and topics we decided to cover, as well as some of the Scriptures for each topic are below.

(A PDF of all of this is available here. There is also a PDF of a document from our Church denomination on “”Gender Identity Disorder or Gender Dysphoria in Christian Perspective” here.)
