John Casteel
Pastor
THE STAFF AT THE BRIDGE LEAD AND SUPPORT OUR MINISTRIES IN VARIOUS WAYS.
GET TO KNOW THEM THROUGH THEIR PICTURES AND BIOS BELOW.
I graduated from Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC with a degree in Religion and Psychology. My family has been a part of the Bridge since 2009. I love seeing God at work in the lives of families and children.
A few things I enjoy are: dinner parties, live music, hiking, spending time with my husband,Ben and our three children.
Championships, awards, diplomas, nothing comes close to serving my Lord and Savior.
I am humbled and honored to be here at the Bridge, serving the future of the Church. Without God, none of us here at the Bridge would be where we are today. Thanks to Him, we can serve as His saved sons and daughters in Christ, abounding in his grace.
My goal as the Youth Director is to facilitate a place of spiritual learning and nurturing for our students. God has given me a heart and passion for our students, I can’t wait to see where he takes us in the future.
I was born in Gaffney, South Carolina, the town known for the huge peach water tower. Currently living here in beautiful Simpsonville with my husband of 10 years, Jason, and our 8 year old son Colin.
My husband and I have been serving alongside of our Bridge family for 3 years. It’s exciting to see how many new ministries have formed in that time, you will find something for everyone happening here.
During my time in the office, the most common comment I come across from visitors about The Bridge is how loving and open-hearted the people are here.
My responsibilities include updating the online weekly bulletin and directory and facilitating ministries. I would be happy to answer any questions, give you a tour of our building or put you in contact with someone from our mercy ministry for counsel, please contact me.
I am excited about the direction God has been moving us in here at The Bridge. The praise team continues to grow in number and strength. With each new voice and idea flowing in, worship feels more powerful than ever before.
We sing new songs and old songs new ways! We sing from the heart to stimulate our minds as we worship in spirit and truth. Anyone desiring to join the praise team please email me … We are always looking for more additions!
