The Bridge Begins
Four people begin meeting together in the home of Founding Pastor, Dr. Mark Jackson and his wife Debra, laying the foundation for what would become The Bridge Church in Corona.
The Bridge Church
Our Story
The Bridge began with a small group of people and a desire to create a church where people could know God, grow in faith, and experience genuine community.
Since 2004, that story has continued through changing seasons, growing ministries, new relationships, baptisms, service, and the many people who have become part of The Bridge family.
Where It Started

Beginning With Four People
The Bridge Church in Corona began on July 1, 2004, with just four people meeting in the home of Founding Pastor, Dr. Mark Jackson and his wife Debra.
