New church plant in South Kingstown, Rhode Island



Cal Bankston, pastor of the The Bridge in South Kingstown, RI

 A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of attending the very first worship service of a new church plant, The Bridge, in South Kingstown, Rhode Island!  Leading the new church are Pastor Cal Bankston and his wife, Tammy.

Pastor Cal, a Louisiana native and a bivocational pastor, has served New England churches for several years previous to this new church start.  Forming the core group to help the new church plant get started are members of the Bankstons' Sunday School class in Faith Baptist Church in Warwick, Rhode Island.  Several couples from that church have agreed to attend the new church's once-a-month Sunday services at a Holiday Inn Express in South Kingstown, RI  until the spring when they will have their formal church launch.  In addition to the monthly Sunday morning worship times, the Bankstons will be leading weekly Wednesday Bible studies in their home.

Are you a member of a group (church, SS class, small group, family, etc.) who would like to be a PRAYER AND ENCOURAGEMENT PARTNER for the The Bridge ? Your commitment would be to communicate regularly with the Bankstons to share concerns, praises, and prayer requests and then to encourage your group to pray and encourage them however you chose---e-mails, notes, cards, phone calls, etc.  It would mean so much to this new church plant to know that they have people who pray for them on a regular basis! 

Please let us know if this is something your group would like to consider.  Phone no. is (903)235-7507 or e-mail us at sherilynbj@gmail.com.  It's a vital way to be "on mission" wherever you are!
