What is The Bridge?:
Seeking Shalom in Topeka
The Bridge of Topeka, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization created by members of the Southwest Church of Christ to seek shalom in Topeka. Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning wholeness, welfare, peace, and prosperity.
Our vision is to work with families in central Topeka, empowering their children to become the responsible, servant leaders of the 21st Century. We have begun this fulfilling work by opening an afterschool program for students from Meadows Elementary.
The program offers tutoring and mentoring services in an academically enriching environment. We hope to add other youth development activities such as drug- and violence-prevention programs, technology-education programs, as well as art, music, and recreation programs.
