Churches Bridging Schools

Bridges Outreach has partnered with Kokomo Urban Outreach and Kokomo-Center Schools to start an exciting new program called Churches Bridging Schools. The objective of this program is to give churches an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our public school system. Our goal is to have every school in Kokomo-Center School district (starting with elementary) adopted by a church or group of churches. The goal is for that church, or group of churches, to meet the schools' and students' needs whatever they might be. Most of the partnerships will include mentors that will meet once a week for 30 minutes with a student. Mentors will meet with the same student every week and work on developing that students' academics and self-esteem. Other ideas include having a teacher appreciation dinner, helping teachers work on bulletin boards and anything the school might need. This program is just getting underway, put the potential is endless. If you are interested in getting involved with the CBS program give us a call at (765) 452-5723.
