The question for many parents in the Joplin region is, “Where is a fun, safe place for my 6th, 7th or 8th grader to go on Friday and Saturday nights?” The answer: The Bridge Junior High Activity Center, in Joplin!  And now, you can find out more about this amazing facility on their just launched new website, thebridgejoplin.com!

The Bridge is located at 3405 S. Hammons Blvd. (just east of Sam’s Club).  The teen center provides a positive social atmosphere for Junior High students where they can climb, play dodgeball, basketball and MUCH more!  The Facility is open from 6pm to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The cost to enter is $3 per student.  All activities within the center are included in the price and supervised by well trained and dedicated staff.

In addition, The Bridge offers a Wednesday night Bible Study for teens and free sessions from 6-8:30 p.m.

The new website for The Bridge will expand its efforts to reach Junior High teens.  The new site will offer the ability for supporters to make donations and to purchase items such as t-shirts and other branded materials.  All proceeds go to help Bridge Ministries reach its mission:  “to attract and welcome all teens and connect them to Christ.”

The Bridge not only hosts a ministry program that impacts Junior High students directly, but also offers the opportunity for other local teen ministries to enhance their offerings by utilizing the facility for their programs.  Youth Ministers may contact The Bridge through the website to book their event.

Bridge Ministries’ facility also includes Autumn Ramp Park and The Foundry Music Venue.  Both are teen friendly facilities providing additional outlets with the same type of faith based initiatives.  New websites for these equally amazing facilities will be coming soon as well!
