Jesus said, "The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost" (Luke 19)
and "The Son of Man came eating and drinking" (Luke 7).
The gospel was His mission. The table was His method. We are His strategy.
That’s the heart behind our vision as a church: to bring the gospel to every table. Each week we gather to center our hearts on Jesus, then scatter as carriers of His good news.
As more people have embraced this vision, our spaces can’t keep up. Through the Every Table Initiative, we’re expanding our gathering spaces so we can increase our scattering capacity. Our Columbia Campus is now in a permanent home, and next we’re building out Spring Hill — continuing to transform a former vitamin-powder factory into a ministry space, and moving forward as each cashflow milestone is met, without taking on new debt. The sooner funds come in, the sooner we can get started.
This initiative also extends beyond our walls. In Maury County, thousands of families experience food insecurity each month. So 11% of all dollars given will go toward feeding our neighbors through our local partner, The Well Outreach. For every 11¢ we give them, they are able to purchase $1 of groceries. That means every dollar we invest in building out Spring Hill, will be roughly matched by the same value in groceries we're able to provide.
Join us by giving a one-time or recurring gift as we bring the gospel to every table.

Upcoming Milestones: Spring Hill Expansion
What are you asking me to do?
Put simply, we are asking you to live generously and sacrificially for the sake of the gospel and the sake of the world. We know that this will require 100% of our church joyfully giving of their time to invest in God’s people and their treasure to invest in God’s kingdom. Not everyone will be called to give the same, but we believe all are called to live sacrificially and be a part of how God is moving in our church and communities.
Pray how God would have you participate over the course of the Every Table initiative. Then, join us with your gift and continue to pray that the seeds planted would lead to great fruit (John 12:24).
Why now?
Since 2022, we have seen God sharpening and refining this vision among our elders, leadership, and staff and creating incredible unity and alignment. We want to be proactive, prayerful, and obedient when God is prompting and moving in big ways and small. We are excited to begin this new vision as a church as we launch into the next 20 years of The Bridge’s story, and Every Table is increasingly evident as the direction God’s leading in.
How does this align with our mission as a church?
As a church, we exist to be with Jesus and become like Him for the sake of the world—that's our mission. When we prioritize intimacy with Jesus, identity in Jesus, and purpose for Jesus, He invites us into unique work for His glory. We believe that the “work of ministry” is for all of us, not just a select few (Ephesians 4:11-13). For The Bridge, that unique work is to bring the gospel to every table—to see 20,000 people following Jesus and being baptized and 20 churches planted. Our mission is our “what we do,” and our vision is “where we’re going.”
How do building upgrades foster the Every Table vision?
Our buildings are not the vision—they’re a tool that helps us live it out. Each week we gather to worship, be formed by Jesus, and be equipped as everyday disciples. Then we scatter to the tables God has placed us at—in our homes, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods—carrying the gospel into the ordinary places of life.
As Maury County continues to grow faster than any other county in Tennessee, we’re uniquely positioned with two campuses in the heart of where God is bringing new people daily. To support this, our Spring Hill campus needs expanded space, and our Columbia campus needs a permanent home. These buildings simply give us the space to gather well so we can scatter boldly and bring the gospel to every table.
Now that the Columbia building is completed, when will we begin to see progress in Spring Hill?
Our aim is to be good stewards by not taking on any additional debt to fund the milestones in Spring Hill. So, you’ll start to see dust fly in those spaces only when we have hit each cashflow target. That means the sooner we see funds come in, the sooner we are able to get started.
Keep an eye on the progress tracker above to see where we stand at any given time.
How do we measure “bringing the gospel to every table”?
The hope for this vision of bringing the gospel to every table is that it’s not an end goal for our church, but a lifelong piece of our identities. We’ll constantly be asking, “Are we seeing evidence of life change?” And this comes in many forms—from seeing groups sharing stories of the table being leveraged for discipleship to people taking next steps in their faith through baptism to increasing numbers of kids and students engaged in our church.
