Other Leadership & Accountability

Advisory & Finance Councils

The Bridge is served by an advisory council. This team of godly men and women serve The Bridge by meeting regularly with Mark & Judy to discuss our community's growth and development, and help make wise decisions to direct its path.

We are also served by a finance council who functions as our board, making major financial and business decisions.

Mentors & Overseers

In addition to the oversight provided by Foursquare and the MJAA/IAMCS, Mark is also accountable to two pastors whom he has close relationship with and mentor him regularly. Pastor Gordon Slyter is the area pastor for the Foursquare churches in southern Idaho, and Rabbi Hylan Slobodkin is the rabbi emeritus at Beit Tikvah Messianic Synagogue in Washington where he has served for 27+ years.
