BECOMING A MEMBER

People become members of Bridge Street either by affirmation/re-affirmation of their faith or by transfer from another congregation. Confirmation classes are available for youth ages 14 and over or in Grade 9. Just call the church office or email us at info@bridgestchurch.com to let us know you are interested, and we will get back to you. We’d love for you to be part of the Bridge Street Family.

ENROLL MY CHILDREN IN THE CHILDREN’S SUNDAY PROGRAM

We have a Crib Room, Toddlers Room and a Children’s Centre (open also in July & August, but unstaffed), with something for each age group up to high school age. For more information, call our Children’s Centre Co-ordinator, at 613-962-9178 extension 78, or send us an e-mail at info@bridgestchurch.com, or just show up. Usually children over three stay with their parents during the first part of the service, and then, after the “Children’s Time” in the service, they go downstairs for their own program. For more on the Children's Centre, click here.

GET INVOLVED WITH THE MUSIC PROGRAMS

We have an excellent Senior Choir and a Handbell Choir. The Bridge Street Ringers rehearse Mondays at 6:30 p.m. and the Senior Choir on Thursday evenings at 7:30. Both regularly participate in worship. We are presently hoping to re-establish a Junior Choir if we have enough children. For more information on joining the Senior Choir, click here. For more information on joining the Bell Choir, click here.

Interested in more singing? How about considering the Belleville Choral Society. This choir, also directed by Bridge Street's Susan Richardson practices at Bridge Street each Monday night at 8:00 p.m. Contact her at 613-962-9178 extension 74 or by e-mail at music@bellnet.ca.
