About The Bridge Church of God Many of you who are visiting this page already know Jesus, and are familiar with the precepts of Christianity. If, however, the language of formal "doctrinal creeds" seems a bit strange or foreign to you, please be reassured - your uncertainty, doubt and skepticism are openly received here at The Bridge Church of God in Powhatan , Virginia. As an expression of that welcome, we have outlined below some of the core concepts of our faith, in order to provide you with some simple reference points as you visit among us.

We hope these will be 'conversation starters' and that you will halp us move the Christian conversation forwards. We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel, turning to God in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the unbeliever will face judgment and eternal conscious punishment, while the believer will experience eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord, to the praise of His glorious grace. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the Church and becomes part of the Body of Christ.

About Tenacity: Never give up - A river cuts through rock, not because of its power but because of its perseverance. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus The bankrupt Richmond Christian Center has come up with a new plan in a last-ditch effort to stave off a court-ordered sale of its property in the block of Cowardin Avenue in South Side.

Bankruptcy Judge Keith L. Phillips has set a hearing for Wednesday, Aug. While church officials have not responded to requests for comment, a document provided to the Free Press shows RCC hopes to forestall the sale through a merger with the fast-growing The Bridge Church based in Powhatan County.

The nondenominational Bridge Church, led by Bishop Johnathan Whichard and his wife, co-pastor Kristi Whichard, operates two other campuses in Prince Edward and Carroll counties and hopes to expand into Richmond through the merger.

Under the plan, RCC would have four months to complete the merger, and would agree to be sold after that if the merger does not succeed. As of this week, it is not clear whether FCR has accepted the plan. FCR has requested that Judge Phillips allow the lender to foreclose on the property.
