Uniting the body of Christ
to reach Central Mississippi

Find a coalition near you

In 6 coalitions and growing, pastors, ministry leaders, and believers meet monthly in their own area to pray, encourage each other, and plan how to reach their community together.

How a Coalition Works

Leaders praying together around a table

Gather

Bring churches and leaders from the same area to one table. No congregation can do everything, and none has to.

Men praying together on a neighborhood street

Grow

Build authentic relationships between pastors, leaders, and neighbors, because lasting ministry runs on trust.

Hands joined together in a circle

Get

Get a vision for the specific area: what does this neighborhood need, and what does each church do best?

Volunteers serving food at a community cookout

Go

Go do it together: school partnerships, food drives, festivals, and whatever the community needs next.

What God is doing in Jackson

From toiletry drives and vacation Bible schools to school partnerships bringing washers, dryers, and mentors into classrooms across the metro.

10+ Decisions for Christ

No single church was called to do it all

The next is between the community and the church, and between ministries themselves. Churches often get siloed. Our name is our mission: we bridge those gaps, so churches can pool resources and multiply their impact.

Bridging the Gap began in 2018 under the Leadership Foundation and grew into an independent 501(c)(3). We're not a church, and our goal is to get people connected back into their local churches.
