Melanie Quinlan

Connections Coordinator

My Motivation

I love sharing the Gospel and connecting people to Jesus. Having a front row seat to see the way He works in people's lives is beautiful and inspiring!

My Background

Prior to working at The Bridge, I taught 8th grade reading in Chicago Public Schools. After having our daughter, I worked a corporate job focused on adult learning.

My Spiritual Journey

I grew up Catholic but I always felt like something was missing. I didn't have a relationship with Jesus, and I craved that. I walked away from church in my early 20s, but I began seeking God again when my dad was sick. After a few years of searching for a church, a coworker invited my family to The Bridge where we were immediately welcomed in. When our daughter was in the PICU with RSV, Jordan and Scott visited us in the hospital and prayed over her. We later joined a small group, started serving, and got baptized.

One More Thing

My husband and I met at a bus stop in Rome, Italy when we were studying abroad.
