Pastor Lucas and Kristine Ashley

Pastors Lucas and Kristine moved to Florida with their two kids in 2018 after feeling a strong call by the Holy Spirit to leave their home state of Texas to come and be a part of what the Lord was continuing to do through the Bridge Church. 
After serving faithfully in different leadership positions, they accepted the call to step into the lead role at the Bridge in October 2021. Pastor Luc is the Lead Pastor at the Bridge and leads with Kristine while she also serves on staff as the Women’s Pastor.
They love God and people with all they have and believe deeply in partnering with others to help people discover healing and purpose through the love of Jesus Christ and by being part of a local church community. 
 
They are honored to carry on the Legacy built at the Bridge Church as the Lord leads His church into a new season of faith and growth. They love the staff and dream team they are blessed to lead with, and the community of Manatee County which they now call home.
