CHRIST.
First and foremost, our ministry centers around Christ. He is the reason why we do what we do and is the root of each aspect of our ministry. The purpose of Bridging the Gap Urban Ministries, Inc. is to
Grow men and women in the image and likeness of Christ for the sole reason of producing healthy believers who know their purpose, set a standard and invoke change in a post-church nation.
CONNECTED.
When you join BTGUM, you are joining a group of believers from every walk of life. You become a part of our family who celebrates individuality while also pushing each other to reach our greatest potential in Christ.

Not only do we have some pretty unique alumni to our ministry, we also have connections to some pretty influential people within the Christian community. We celebrate and encourage connections, knowing that they can push us to be better and help us reach new heights in our relationship with Christ.
CONFIDENT.
Being a part of BTGUM takes a lot of work and responsibility, but more importantly it builds confidence. We have seen numerous members grow within our organization—emerging from their shells and just carrying this confidence in themselves and their abilities. Our goal is to find the things that make you passionate and then help you use them to glorify God.
Our unique focus on talents and gifts rooted in the arts, helps us to encourage others to be confident in their gifts. We work hard to train each member, helping them to improve their skills each year they are a part of our organization. What can we say, we just love seeing confident people living their lives for Christ in a bold way!
Our Mission
To engage the culture in such a way that anyone that comes in contact with it or it’s members will be loved, served and saved (presented with the Gospel).
The Gospel
The Gospel is God’s provision for man’s redemption, Jesus’ sacrifice for man’s justification, the Holy Spirit’s work in man’s sanctification, resulting in man’s final glorification.
A Woman of God
A Woman of God is a sanctified woman. She is set apart from the women of this world. She finds her identity in Christ because Christ lives in her. She represents love, strength, care and humility.
A Disciple/Man of God
A Disciple is a man on fire. He is a loosed man, but not a man on the loose. He is a servant, a leader, and follower. He is devoted to holiness, prayer, discipline and excellence.
Excuses
Excuses are monuments and nothingness, and those who choose to use those tools of incompetence will be considered masters of nothingness
Overall, BTGUM is a place for growth, new experiences, service, encouragement, relationships and much more. We hope that you will consider joining, or even starting, a chapter at your college or university. If you would like to learn more about how you can get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We would love to sit down and have a conversation with you about bringing this to your school!
