The Bridge

About the Ministry

The Bridge is a Christ‑centered recovery ministry based at Black Oak Heights Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. Its mission is to walk alongside individuals and families impacted by addiction, offering a pathway to hope, healing, and long‑term transformation through the power of the Gospel.

Black Oak Heights Baptist Church created The Bridge to meet a growing need in the Knoxville area — a place where people can be honest about their struggles, find real help, and experience the life‑changing grace of God. The ministry emphasizes that no one has to walk the road to recovery alone.
