Discipleship

​Jesus came to earth to offer deep, rich, and never ending life, but we often are tempted to pursue some counterfeit to this true gift. Money, power, beauty, sensuality…no earth bound creation or comfort can fill us like the gift of love that God’s Spirit grants to those who are in the family of God.

As a disciple of Jesus, we look forward with great excitement to the life that is beyond what we know here on earth. Living eternally in the presence of our Father defies our most extravagant effort to dream.

However, there is no need to wait to begin experiencing the blessing of heavenly living. God’s Son offered meaningful life as an immediate possession, in addition to an eternal hope.

The Bayside congregation is interested not merely in staying busy until Christ returns. Yes there is kingdom work to do, but we believe that the process of obedience to our divinely given purposes brings fulfillment and joy. There is life in this church! This life originates with God, is made available through Jesus, is empowered by His Spirit, and is embraced with gladness by His people.

The Bayside Church of Christ seeks to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ through connecting with God and his family, growing spiritually, and serving others.
