Welcoming international students
Bridges is a community of international students in southern Connecticut.
We want students from all around the world studying in the US to feel welcome and cared for, and to experience God’s love.
Meet new friends.
It can be hard to meet people when you arrive in the US, but we want you to have a place you can belong to while studying here! We have regular gatherings, fun events like hiking and painting, and many other opportunities to connect with fellow students and the local community.
Get the support you need to succeed.
We want you to thrive in every way as you study here in Connecticut! Whether you need someone to practice English with, a ride to the store, or someone to show you around the area, we are here to help you. Contact us if you have a need!
Take the next step in your faith.
Becoming an international student is the perfect opportunity to discover new things about life and faith. We offer resources on all kinds of spiritual questions, and also have regular times to discuss topics from the Bible about God and life. If you have questions, we would love to talk to you!
Be part of a spiritual community.
International Campus Church is a weekly church service that is run by international students, for international students.
If you are looking for a place for worship, find Christian community, or are just curious about what a church is like, join us!
“These people I have met have tried their best to provide as much support as possible to international students.”
— Maria, an international student from China
