But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (KJV) Matthew 6:33.

Pastor Bridges is a native of Atlanta, GA, and grew up in a single-parent home with his mother and two brothers. At the age of thirteen, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and followed that declaration with water baptism. It would be something that he would never forget as he was baptized in the peak of the winter season in freezing cold water.

 After graduation from High School in 2001 he started his college education at Georgia Military College and earned an Associate of Science degree in general studies. After graduation, he was commissioned as an officer in the Georgia Army National Guard and served for 8 years which ended in 2011 after his return from deployment to Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom). In 2008 he also earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. 

In 2005 he married his beautiful wife, Prophetess LaShonda Bridges. They both faithfully serve in ministry together and have four beautiful children. 

 Unsure of what to expect or what direction to take, he submitted to the guidance of the Lord and the leadership of then, Pastor Elbert Brown and Evangelist Dale Brown. In the year 2011, he was licensed by the ministry to preach the Word of God. After continued faithful service, and maturing spiritually as a follower of Jesus Christ,

Andre was ordained as an Elder on July 13, 2012. He was appointed as an Associate Pastor on November 3, 2013. In 2015, he was elevated to the position of Assistant Pastor in which he served under Pastor Dale Brown.

In his tenure as a leader in Ministry at RCOD (about 14 years), he has assisted in overseeing and participating in the different ministries and various areas of the church which include leading and teaching Sunday School, planning and coordinating the church service and events, the Men's, Audio/multimedia, Outreach, and Homeless ministries. 

 When Pastor Bridges is not serving, he enjoys time with his family, sports, and gaming.

 In January 2022, Pastor Bridges received God's call to start his ministry, Divine Destiny & Deliverance Ministries. He was installed as Senior Pastor in June 2022 and has been sent out under the covering of Restoration Global Ministries. In December 2023 DDD Ministries was released from the covering of Restoration Global Ministries.

Together, he and his wife are marching forward in all that God has called them to under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus.
