JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Cross Bridge Church is an outwardly focused church in Rockledge, FL (40 miles east of Orlando International Airport and 12 miles from Cocoa Beach). Our mission is: Helping people move from where they are to where God wants them to be. In the past several years, Cross Bridge Church has experienced a fruitful season, weathering COVID-19 and continuing to share the Good News of Jesus and His compassion and love in the community. We currently have two Sunday morning services (9 & 11 AM), many adult groups that meet weekly, and a thriving ministry to kids and students. In January 2021, we paid off the mortgage of our current facility and launched the ENGAGE CAMPAIGN to raise money to build the Barbara Murphy Student Center, Pavilion, & Shaded Community Playground. We had a grand opening for this new space in September 2023 and we are excited about the ways this is expanding our ministry reach. So far this year, we have seen significant growth in our church (26%) from where we were at the same time last year.
Following transitions through Covid and ministry growth needs, this past year has been one of building our staff team. Our Lead Pastor has been with us for over ten years, and a few of our staff have been here much longer. However, we have several new staff and look forward to continuing to add to our team as ministry needs require. If you are interested in being a part of a team that loves to laugh and have fun while working hard together to make a kingdom impact, connect with us about our open ministry opportunities.
