Bridges International UIUC

Bridges International UIUC Everyone is welcome from all backgrounds! In Bridges we try to provide international students with three types of opportunities:

- Service.

BRIDGES INTERNATIONAL is a caring community of Christ-followers committed to SERVE, promote SOCIAL CONNECTIONS, build up STUDENT LEADERS, and create safe spaces for SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS. We are here to serve your needs. Whether that's rides to the grocery store, to get winter clothes, to check out a local church, help with english, etc., we are here for YOU!!

-Social Connections. Our events

are designed for you to find a community of caring friends during your stay here in the US.

- Spiritual Resources. During your stay in the US you will be exposed to many different cultures, ideas and people. It's our desire to provide a safe environment where international students can learn about the Bible in an intellectual or personal way. Community Group Information:
