Bridge is a community of twenty-somethings looking for connection and fellowship in Christ while crossing from college to adulthood. If you’re still getting started in learning what adulting is all about and you’re not already connected at Peachtree, Bridge is designed for you. Join us on December 6 for light bites and drinks as we kick off this group and share with you what we have planned for 2023. We’d love to meet you there.
Milestones
Just as families keep in touch about joys and sorrows, our church family at Peachtree wants to do the same. During your prayers this week, we ask you to lift up these people to God.
