Men's 2011 Advance "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" Welcome to the first annual Bridge Community Church 2011 Men's Advance.  As Christian men, our desire is to continually "advance" in our relationship with Jesus and thus we call our gathering an Advance, rather than a "Retreat".  We encourage you to join us at Bridge Community Church for fellowship, prayer, worship, study and fun activities for men as we focus on how to "Love the Lord our God with all our hearts".  Since you've located this website, you can either register on-line below, or print the registration coupon from the flyer below.  Call Bill Valley at 360-426-3037 for questions or concerns.
