Summary

For the past two years, we’ve declared: We are a Bridge Building Church. But what does that actually mean? In this opening message of our Bridge Building series, Jeanne unpacks why racial reconciliation is not optional for followers of Jesus — it’s central to the gospel itself. Bridge building isn’t a side conversation. It’s not a political issue. It’s not a bonus calling for a few. It’s part of what it means to follow Christ. This message sets the tone for the series and invites us to see bridge building not as an initiative, but as an identity. If we’re going to be people shaped by Jesus, we must also be people committed to reconciliation. 📍 Soul City Church | Chicago #BridgeBuilding #RacialReconciliation #SoulCityChurch
