Welcome to The Bay Church
Where the bible is taught and denomination is not

At The Bay Community Church, we’re a family shaped by the grace of Jesus. Because He welcomes us, we welcome you. Because He forgives, we forgive. Because He restores, we walk with one another toward healing and hope.
Our purpose is simple: that every person would have the chance to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, grow through the uncompromised Word of God, and belong to a community that meets you where you are. There’s a place for you here—come join us.
