  • New Facebook Page for Bridge Community Church

    New Facebook Page for Bridge Community Church

    Good morning church!

    We’ve had a difficult time recovering the ability to post to the Church’s Facebook page. As a result, we have created a new page and request that you would follow the new page.

    Unfortunately, there are now 2 Bridge Community Church pages. Both have the church logo, however the active one is able to be identified as it has the same banner as the church website (below).

    Here is a link to the page: Bridge Community Church | Shelton WA | Facebook

    **Please note that this does not change the private discussion group called “Bridge Community Church of Harstine Island, WA” – this page is a closed private group and remains active.

    Please double check that it looks correct.
