The Bridge Messianic Fellowship gathers in Meridian, Idaho, every Saturday for Shabbat. Jews and Gentiles worship together here, and the community describes its practice as "the ancient faith of Messianic Judaism." Mark and Judy Rich lead the congregation. Since 2019 it has belonged to the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues. It is also part of the Foursquare movement.
The congregation honors Yeshua as God and Messiah. It holds the Tanakh and the Apostolic Scriptures to be the authoritative Word of God. It teaches justification by faith alone, alongside honoring the Torah in obedience, including the Sabbath and holy days. Non-Jewish believers, it holds, are grafted into Israel without becoming Jewish. The Bridge affirms that God's covenants with the Jewish people continue, and it rejects replacement theology in all its forms.
Shabbat morning opens with Torah Study at 9:30, reading and discussing the weekly portion together. Open prayer follows at 10:30. The 11:00 service begins with Ma Tovu and the Sh'ma, then moves into contemporary worship and a message. Children have their own class during the message. On the first Shabbat of each month, the study moves into a Torah Service. It includes a Torah processional, a short Hebrew reading and discussion of the portion. A potluck Oneg follows, and services are livestreamed. Tehillah, an evening of worship and prayer, meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm.
