2024 Annual Report

Dear BP Family,

This past year was an opportunity for us to trust God in ways we never had before.

We sent 74 people, including one of our pastors, to start a new church in Pawtucket. As a result, we saw God provide all that both churches needed and more.

We have so much to celebrate about God's work in and through BridgePointe. This annual report tells a story of God's great work among us and the many people who chose to join Him in it. We hope you take some time to review the numbers presented below, and reflect on some of the stories we’ve highlighted from 2024.

Thank you so much for the part you had and the difference you made. Join me in praising God for His faithfulness and kindness to us.

With love,

Jared Cowgur
Lead Pastor
