VISION

The vision for the church (El Puente) is to provide a bridge between those who know the salvation of Christ and those who do not. As the name implies we seek to provide bridges between those who have hope and those who do not, between those who have much and those in need, and between local Nicaraguans and visitors. While for the school (GCEC) our vision is to tangibly share the love of God with the children and their families by providing a quality education that holds a Christian worldview. Our desire is not only to offer academics, but to provide students with an education rooted in Christ, exposing them to God’s vision of what He created us to be.

 

MINISTRY OVERVIEW

The Serge team began working in Granada in 2006 and has embraced the community through a variety of programs tailored to the challenges and needs of life in this unique city and the surrounding barrios.  The work includes a bi-lingual church, a recovery ministry for substance abuse, partnership with the local Young Life clubs, and a bi-lingual Christian school.
