Meet Will & Cristen Bridges
From the American Countryside to the World
Will and Cristen Bridges are the founders of Bridges for Life Ministries, established in 1995. This Christ-centered outreach is dedicated to sharing the Gospel, building relationships, and making a lasting impact in communities both locally and around the world. Based in beautiful West Virginia and western Pennsylvania, they bring a down-to-earth approach to ministry, blending heartfelt service with a deep love for people.
A Calling to Serve
Will & Cristen’s passion for missions began in their own hometowns, serving neighbors, churches, and small communities in need. Will graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center, and ordained through the Assemblies of God (PennDel District). Over the years, that calling expanded into international, interdenominational ministry — traveling to different nations to share the hope of Jesus, equip leaders, and offer practical help where it’s needed most. Their work bridges cultures and connects people to the life-changing power of God’s love.
They have also faithfully invested in local outreaches, including a bus ministry and a homeless ministry, ensuring that their calling to serve extends from their community to the nations.
Local & Global Impact
From Appalachian outreach projects in the United States to evangelism and discipleship training overseas, the Bridges are committed to equipping others to live out their faith boldly. Whether they are preaching, leading small group trainings, or working hands-on in service projects, their mission is the same: to connect with people, build meaningful relationships, and inspire others to take action for the Kingdom.
Life Beyond the Mission Field
When they’re not traveling or leading ministry events, Will & Cristen love spending time outdoors with their family — biking, hiking, and enjoying the mountains they call home. They believe ministry isn’t just about a platform or pulpit — it’s about living each day in a way that reflects God’s love in both word and action.
Join the Journey
Through Bridges for Life Ministries, Will & Cristen invite you to be part of the mission. Whether by praying, giving, or going, you can help bring hope, encouragement, and the Gospel to those who need it most — from West Virginia to the ends of the earth.
