The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also called the LDS or Mormon church, is one of the fastest growing religions in America. There is no lack of documentation on the differences between Mormonism and historic Christianity, but such material fails to address the human element and the needs and struggles of individual people. The Bridges training program takes an entirely different approach.
Bridges has helped over 10,000 Christians, all over the country and around the world, gain a new appreciation for effective, relational evangelism to Mormons.
Bridges combines video interviews with extensive workbook material and classroom instruction. Through colorful commentary, current data, and insightful interviews with people who live day by day with members of the LDS community, this program provides an honest and sensitive look at LDS culture, social structure, religious terminology, and values. Bridges equips biblical Christians to better understand the culture of the Latter-day Saints, to build real connections with them, and to share with gentleness and respect our own heartfelt testimony concerning the Good News of Jesus Christ.
This training program can change your life, but more importantly, it may change the lives of your Mormon friends and neighbors.
Details
Boise Christian Fellowship offers the Bridges program monthly, beginning on the first Monday of each month and running for four consecutive Monday evenings. There is a small expense for the workbook ($15), but please do not let this be a reason for not attending. We will make sure books are available for any who may not be able to afford the cost.
