The Bridge

 

The Bridge, located in Joplin, Missouri, will open it's new 64,000 square foot building on April 7. It features a 45' rock climbing gym, cage basketball, an internet cafe, wireless hotspot and arcade gaming. The Bridge strives to provide a safe place for teens to hang out with friends. Here's a blurb from their site.

"The Bridge is equal parts ministry and attraction.  On the one hand, we are striving to be the new Main Street.  The place where you go to be with your friends.  A lidless environment where you can live and be and grow and meet and shine.  On the other hand, The Bridge is a ministry where the exchange of ideas is not limited to acceptable social subjects, but includes subjects (like faith and politics) which have been too taboo to mention in other years or settings.  Behind the scenes, staff members and volunteers are listening, connecting, loving, sharing, and sacrificing to bring the hope of Christ to everyone through actions, attitude, and words.  We will not relegate Christ to our apparel or our overhead sound system.  His Spirit is alive in us and you should see that."


The Bridge also houses "one of the premier skate and BMX parks in the country" called Autumn Ramp Park and The Foundry Music Venue will attract local, regional and national acts.
