Founder

A Family Man

Gabriel Cabarris is the founder of Bridge Outreach Ministry. As a devoted husband and father of three beautiful children, he is faithfully serving the communities of St. Petersburg, Florida. Gabriel has been serving in ministry for nearly 20 years and is passionate about helping people reach their God-given potential.

A Powerful Conversion

Raised in a Christian home, he was grounded early in biblical principles and a lifestyle shaped by Christian faith. In 2003, Gabriel personally accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Later that year, shortly after a mid-week Bible study, he experienced baptism in the Holy Spirit. That weekend, he was baptized in water by his father at their home church in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the presence of the congregation.

Although he enjoyed a typical childhood filled with outdoor play, climbing trees, and riding bikes, Gabriel sensed a call from God by the age of 12 and began serving in youth ministry at New Destiny Worship Center in Clearwater, Florida. Over the next 12 years, he faithfully served in multiple areas of ministry, including Youth Choir and Youth Church as a singer and drummer, Ministers in Training, love-based outreach, Adult Choir, Men’s Ministry, teaching ministry for young adults, nursing home ministry, homeless shelter outreach, and media ministry.

During this season, he also partnered with family members to establish Worth Ministries, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the less fortunate in Largo, Florida.

In 2018, Gabriel transitioned to City of Praise International Ministries, where he served for six years as an elder. In that role, he taught Bible studies, discipled men within the church, and contributed to the church branding and media team.

In 2026, Gabriel and his family responded to God’s call once again and launched Bridge Outreach Ministry.
