PASTOR BARBARA BRIDGES
Pastor Barbara Bridges is often referred to using words like LOVING, ENGAGING, GENUINE, and COMMITTED
as the anointed Woman of God. In 1982, Pastor E.C. Reems of the Center of Hope Community Church in Oakland, California, led her to dedicate her life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Seven years later, she responded to the great commission to "go into the highways and hedges" and spent over 16 years working as an evangelist, reaching incarcerated women in prisons.
In 2002, Pastor Barbara founded Restoration for Life Ministries, where she currently serves as Co-Pastor in Stockton, California. Her ministry has contributed to the rapid growth of one of the fastest-growing churches in the San Joaquin Valley. Pastor Barbara's compassion for women and their struggles in today's society has led to the establishment of various support programs such as Dress for Success, Sister 2 Sister Support Group for Women, and the Restoration for Life Ministries Annual Women of War Conference.
