The Bridgeway Team

Dr. David Anderson
Founder & Senior Pastor
When I was eighteen years old, I surrendered my stubborn will to the lordship of Jesus Christ. I pulled my car over to the side of the road in Prince George’s County, Maryland, where I wept like a baby as I invited Jesus into my life.
During those life-changing moments, I sensed a new direction for my life to reach as many people for Christ as I could, which eventually led me toward becoming a pastor. But I needed to pastor a church that was multicultural so all people would feel welcome.
Multicultural Team
Bridgeway’s team is made up of Employees, Elders, the Elders Council of Women, and Leadership Residents and Interns. Come meet them all and see if Bridgeway is the right diverse community for you!
Embrace Gracism
When people deal with color, class or culture in a negative way, that's racism. But the answer is not to ignore these as if they don't matter. Instead, we can look at color, class and culture in a positive way. That's gracism.

Bridgeway StoriesI was so tired of the "religious rituals" in church: watching people proclaim being a Christian, but not being Christ-like. I prayed & searched for a church without the EXTRA and truly multicultural. I was glad when I found it here.
