The storm threatens to drown their fragile hope, a dying church and a young pastor.
When young pastor Jordan Carter arrives in Willow Creek, he finds a town fraying at the edges-and a church clinging to the ghosts of its glory days. Grace Community Church, once the vibrant heart of the valley, now stands as a relic: peeling paint, empty pews, and a congregation of fifteen elderly souls who've watched their community drift away. Armed with idealism and a binder full of modern outreach plans, Jordan vows to reignite the church's purpose. But revitalizing a town scarred by factory closures, drought, and generational divides will require more than sermons and potlucks.
As Jordan battles resistance from traditionalists like Deacon Harold-a Vietnam vet guarding the church's legacy like a fortress-he discovers unexpected allies in a silver-haired pianist with untapped fire, a gruff handyman hiding decades of loyalty, and Emily Hayes, a fierce teacher whose vision for the town clashes with his own. Together, they confront painful questions: Can ancient hymns coexist with YouTube sermons? Can a fading congregation become a beacon for the lost? And when a devastating storm tests Willow Creek's fragile hope, will the bridges they've built hold?
A heartfelt tapestry of faith, doubt, and resilience, Bridges to Tomorrow explores what it means to heal a community-and the courage required to mend the fractures within ourselves. Perfect for fans of Gilead and The Secret Life of Bees, this luminous debut reminds us that sometimes, saving a church means redefining what "church" truly is.
