Bridge Community Church is a long-standing part of Stevenson, Washington—serving the community for generations from a historic building that’s now approaching (and celebrating) the 100-year mark. Over the years, the church has been a steady place of worship, encouragement, and practical help, and in recent seasons it has also become the focus of an inspiring renovation and preservation effort designed to restore the character of the original structure while updating it for modern use.

That renewal work has been powered by a giving, hands-on congregation and a broader network of support from the local faith community. Liberty Bible Church has been especially generous—donating significant labor, materials, and financial support to help Bridge Community Church restore and update the building with excellence and care. Inside the Bridge family, Craig Salveson and Tim Wold have served as key leaders in the project work, helping oversee plans, coordinate efforts, and keep the momentum moving from one phase to the next.

Behind the walls, critical infrastructure has been brought up to standard as well. The building’s electrical system was rewired by local electrician Dan Meliza, owner of Wire Nuts Electrical Contracting—an important upgrade that helps protect the building and everyone who gathers there.

And woven through every step of the restoration is the quiet heroism of volunteers: men and women who showed up early, stayed late, and tackled whatever was needed—framing, demolition, cleaning, organizing, sheetrock, finish carpentry, painting, punch-list details, and countless “little jobs” that add up to something truly lasting. It’s more than a renovation; it’s a shared act of stewardship—preserving a treasured community landmark while strengthening the church’s ability to serve Stevenson for decades to come.
