Bridge Fellowship exists to connect churches with one another and with their communities through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The MARBC Adopts a New Name as It Enters a New Season of Ministry

The Council of 16 leadership of the MARBC announced a new name at the recent Tri-State Conference by which the MARBC will minister in the coming years. Bridge Fellowship is a name that not only reflects our state's unique identity due to the many bridges which connect our peninsula with other land masses, but also communicates the continuing goal of our association of churches. This goal is reflected in the fellowship's mission statement: "Connecting churches with one another and with their communities through the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
The Bridge Fellowship ministry team was introduced by the new Executive Ministry Director, Doug Crawford, during the conference business session. Doug will serve in his new part-time role beginning January 1, 2023, while also continuing part-time at West Cannon Baptist Church where he has served for over 40 years.
The following pastors are serving with Doug as consultants in specialized areas of ministry.
