    DIY: The Power to Change

    Research has shown that personal Bible reading is the most powerful discipline for spiritual growth - and yet many of us struggle to make it happen consistently or to get much from it if we do. If you want real, lasting change in your life, join us as we discover the power of DIY - reading the Bible on your own instead of relying on a “professional” to do what only you can do. Many Christians rely on pastors, podcasts, and books to tell them what the Bible says instead of reading it themselves. But according to 2 Peter 1:3, God has already given you everything you need for spiritual transformation—and it's found in His Word. Research backs this up: reading the Bible just 4+ times a week dramatically increases spiritual maturity and impacts Passage: 2 Peter 1:3, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Speaker: David Wyman

    PG (Parental Guidance): Daily Decisions, Lifelong Impact

    Parenting isn’t about instant results—it’s about faithful consistency. In Galatians 6, Paul reminds us that we always reap what we sow. The seeds we plant in our homes today—through prayer, encouragement, discipline, and love—will one day grow into a spiritual harvest in our children’s lives. Consistency doesn’t mean perfection; it means showing up, even when progress feels slow. God uses small, steady steps to produce lasting fruit. The truth is, our greatest influence doesn’t come from grand moments—it comes from daily faithfulness lived out at home. Passage: Galatians 6:7–10 Speaker: Josh Jones

    PG (Parental Guidance): Fighting Fair, Leading Well

    Every family faces conflict—but not every family handles it well. In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds us that the goal isn’t avoiding conflict; it’s honoring God through it. Healthy homes are built when parents speak truth with love, control their emotions instead of being controlled by them, and lead with grace even when tensions rise. “Fighting fair” means we don’t let anger take over or bitterness take root. Instead, we model for our children what forgiveness looks like in real time. The way we handle conflict teaches them more about Jesus than our words ever could. Passage: Ephesians 4:25-28, 31-32; Romans 5:8-11 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

    PG (Parental Guidance): Building the Heart Before the House

    Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. In this 3-week series, we’ll explore God’s blueprint for shaping the next generation by focusing on what matters most: who we and our kids are becoming. From building character that lasts, to handling conflict with grace, to staying consistent when it’s hard, this series will equip parents to lead their families with faith, wisdom, and love. Before God ever talks about parenting practices, He talks about the parent’s heart. In Deuteronomy 6, Moses reminds Israel that raising godly children starts with loving God deeply. Character doesn’t come from rules —it flows from relationship. We can’t pass down what we don’t possess. Building the heart before the house means letting God shape us before we try to shape them. It means talking about God’s truth not just in church, but in the daily rhythms of life—around the dinner table, in the car, and at bedtime. When parents love God first, live with integrity, and repeat His truth with intentionality, they create an environment where character grows naturally. Passage: Matthew 15:8; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Matthew 7:21-23 Speaker: David Wyman

    The PG Podcast: Character & Parenting

    In this episode of the PG Podcast, Josh and Kristin Jones continue the conversation from Sunday’s message, Building the Heart Before the House, focusing on the role of character in parenting at every stage. They answer real questions about modeling what we expect from our kids, creating simple spiritual rhythms at home, adjusting those rhythms as seasons change, and learning to trust God with outcomes. Josh and Kristin share what they’ve learned raising four kids—from littles to adults—and remind parents that we can’t pass down what we don’t personally possess. If you’re feeling behind, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps for loving God first, leading with integrity, and letting God shape both you and your kids along the way.

    2026 Goals

    The harvest is great, and Jesus is still sending His people. As Bridgewater steps into a new ministry year, this vision message calls us to lift our eyes and see the mission field all around us—our neighborhoods, schools, and communities. Rooted in Jesus’ words and the Great Commission, we’re invited into a bold vision for 2026: saturation. Not maintenance. Not addition. But trusting God to move as we step out in faith, live on mission, and believe that when we go… then God moves... Passage: Luke 10:2 Speaker: Josh Jones
