Introduction: We have many wonderful families, teachers & staff, coaches, community leaders and organizations in our Round Lake community. Some of our youth & young adults, however, are facing severe challenges & temptations in their daily lives, which can limit their development into responsible adulthood & perpetuate destructive lifestyles. Many young people in our area suffer from various challenges such as poverty, drug & alcohol abuse, broken families, abusive relationships, gang activity, racism, bullying, teenage pregnancy, low self-esteem, gender dysphoria, depression, suicidal thoughts, negative role models, and a lack of motivation to excel in education & mature into adulthood.
The Bridge: In August of 2015, we started a cross-cultural, co-ed, relationship-based Christian outreach to youth & young adults called The Bridge. We work with young people & their families who come from a diverse background (regarding gender, ethnicity, education, income, religious beliefs, etc.), regardless of spiritual interest (students choose which activities to participate in) and in beneficial ways in which we find common ground. Our vision for The Bridge rose out of the work we did with young people for over ten years, in our sponsoring church's youth group called Carried Away. After serving 20 some students a week for more than a decade, we started The Bridge with the goal of effectively reaching out to youth & young adults with a more holistic mission. We are sponsored by Lake Region Bible Church. Feel free to contact us if you would like to know more about who we are and what we do. Thank you.
