Bridges Stevenson / Executive Director / Young Adult Retention Strategist / Mentor
“When God called me to Ministry, He presented me with a problem: the
rate at which believers leave the church as they transition to young adulthood.
NF Ministries seeks to equip Teens as they transition to Young Adulthood with
healthy and relentless, God-loving communities to encourage a continued
relationship with our Savior and to promote Spiritual Formation and constant
growth.”
Bridges was born and raised in the city of Sacramento. He served seven years in the U.S. Navy as a Corpsman. He is married to Lizi Stevenson and is the father of two children.

He oversees NF ministries strategic and operational responsibilities. As a mentor he mentors several young men who leave home.
