 What is the Virtual Bridge?
The Virtual Bridge is Faith Temple No. 1 Original Free Will
Baptist Church, Faith Temple 1 & 2 Extension Church and Leventon
Chapel Original Free Will Baptist Church without walls. Everyone no
matter what City and State you call home can partner with the Bridge.
Additionally, anyone who has ever been a member and has moved
away is welcomed to return to fellowship with us again as a virtual
member. Whether you are brand new to the church or already watch
us online. You can now connect with us digitally and via a satellite
location nearby.
The Virtual Bridge allows everyone no matter where your physical
geographic location might be to join this body of Christ. Virtual
members can expect to be welcomed into a friendly Christ-centered
environment by people who are excited to connect with you. You can
attend services virtually. This includes a weekly Sunday sermon that
streams live on Facebook, YouTube and Zoom. You can call-in by
telephone to listen to the word if your access to the Internet is limited.
There is also a weekly Prayer Service and Bible Study for adults,
teens and children. You will also be connected to other virtual
members in your same geographic location and you can elect to meet
in person in safe socially distanced small group settings or you can
