THANK YOU for giving us a moment to introduce the Bridgeport Church of Christ to you. If you are looking for a church home or just want to learn more about the Bible, we would be glad to help you in any way we can. We, at the Bridgeport Church of Christ, seek to follow God’s word and it only. We believe that the Bible is all we need to serve God Faithfully and to one day have a home in heaven with Him. We do not add to or take away from the scriptures, for we believe it is God’s complete and final revelation. We are blessed to have 3 elders who shepherd the flock here at Bridgeport and take their work seriously. Are we perfect here at the Bridgeport Church of Christ? The answer is obviously, no. However, we are Christians who strive to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). We believe the Bible teaches us God’s plan for salvation and that one must hear the word of God (Romans 10:17), one must believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God (Acts 8:37), one must repent of the sins they have committed (Acts 2:38), one must confess their faith in Christ (Romans 10: 9-10), one must be baptized for the remission of their sins (Mark 16: 15-16; Acts 2:38), and live faithfully to the Lord (Revelation 2:10).
We all strive to live obediently in accordance to God’s word. In the Lord’s Church, we understand that in order to love God we must love one another (1 John 4:20-21). We are a family-the body of Christ. We are joined together for the same cause and will continue to serve God faithfully for the rest of our lives. - Ryan Currey

Inspirational Thought
“The Dash”
I read of a preacher who stood to speak
At the funeral of his friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone
From the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first cam the date of his birth,
And spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between the years
For that dash represents all the time
That he spend alive on Earth,
And now only those who loved him
Know what that little line is worth
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, or the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard,
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left.
(You could be at “dash” mid-range.)
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more,
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash…
Would you be pleased with the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
