On Saturday, July 18, 2015 when volunteers for the Bridge Church (an outreach of the Cathedral) went to pick up the trailer of equipment for their weekly worship service for the city's homeless and East Central community they discovered the trailer and all of its contents had been stolen.
With only 45 minutes before the service was to start, the group was undeterred.

“We didn’t have a table to serve the meals on, chairs to sit on, a sound system to project the preacher and worship leader’s voices over the traffic noise,” said Tom Hample, one of Bridge Church’s founders, “but we just improvised and the meal and service went on as scheduled. It was one of our best services ever. Praise God.”

Every week, rain or shine, winter or summer, gear or no gear, the Bridge Church meets to worship and praise God and to declare the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ along side people who mostly go unnoticed and uncared for - even by some in our own Christian community - the least of these.    Bridge Church is a faithful and resilient community and God continues to use this ministry to reach the lost and to minister to his Church
