Bridge Ministry of Acadiana

The Bridge Ministry of Acadiana (BMA) is a Christian community development organization committed to transforming lives and alleviating poverty through faith, education, and community. Rooted in the belief that God is a God of development, we strive to empower individuals and families to overcome the challenges of generational poverty.

Through our free after-school tutoring programs, summer initiatives, Bible studies, and community events, we provide holistic support that fosters spiritual growth, academic success, and personal development. Our mission extends beyond individual change, as we also work to improve community infrastructure, create job opportunities, and build a stronger, more beautiful neighborhood for everyone.

Driven by faith and inspired by the love of neighbors, BMA is a beacon of hope in the Acadiana region, where we invite others to join us in expressing faith through works and building a brighter future together.
