I went to the Christmas Eve Service at Bayside Community Church and it blew away my expectations. Well-deserved five stars. My family and I felt welcomed at this church even though we are just visiting Bradenton for the holidays. They provided hot chocolate, tea, cookies and candles for everyone. Everyone was so friendly and warm! They wanted to make all the guests feel included. The decor inside was beautiful and the actual Christmas Eve performance was spectacular. I was impressed by the sheer talent of some of the singers and musicians as well as the production involved.. The church even included well made videos and original Christian Christmas songs. I really enjoyed the sermon Pastor Bezet delivered since he is an excellent story teller. The candle lighting at the end was my favorite part. I can't recommend this church enough! We will definitely be coming back in the future :)

Although huge, this church strives to accommodate and reach all walks of life. To teach people of the Love of Jesus Christ. Bible base church. They provide childcare of all ages. The volunteers are a blessing. They have several campuses. I prefer the east Bradenton campus bc of the live message is preach there. They have lobby seating and private room seating to watch the message. They even have a nursing room that accommodates about 5-6 nursing mothers. Come as you are to receive the Word of God.

Amazing praise and worship team!

This is the most friendly church I've been to in a very long time. It does not feel like a forced or fake friendly either. We met the main Pastor, Pastor Randy one morning and that evening we went to a special class that night. He had remembered mine and my husbands name... Which was amazing to both of us considering his congregation has thousands of people in it. The very first morning that we went to that church we knew that was the church God wanted us at. We've only been members there a few short weeks however it feels like family already. And it's obvious that the pastor and his wife care deeply for the members at the church. I also love how the other church members treat each other. While it's important to remember most of the people there are Christian saved by God's grace, we are all still humans and mess up once in a while. It seems as though everybody there has that mentality as I have not seen any type of clicks or special groups leaving people out. If you want to be involved in this church it's easy to become involved. There are several small groups to involve yourself with throughout the week. If you like fishing there is a small group for fishing. If you like running there is a small group for running. If you like coffee there's even a small group for that. During small groups you enjoy activities as well as build Christian relationships. You are able to pray for one another and also involve yourself in devotionals if you'd like. If you are hesitant about trying out Bayside I would say don't be... It's very down to earth. You can come as you are and you won't be judged. If you don't have any friends who attend there and you don't want to go by yourself just leave me a note and I'd be glad to meet you at the door. :)

When Pastor Randy preaches, you'd think he was your best friend for life because he's so warm and personable.

The person I spoke is not representative of what a church should be. She sounded like she was in…read morethe middle of an argument or something talking to me. I would not go to this church unless you like angry people. I'm a Minister, but the loving kind. I was crying, and I can't believe she spoke to me that way. I can't wait to get out of Florida, so many people here are downright rude, standoffish, among other things. People openly talk about how my body looks here like I can't hear them- body shaming is a big thing nowadays, and I've heard a TON of it since I've been here. I think I'm beautiful and am sorry my body is so triggering lol for so many of you. Ive also met some very amazing people here, but when the majority leans the other way (at least in the areas I've been in) I'm out. I mean seriously the police here were probably the nicest people I met for any extended period of time. The police were more kind and comforting to me than an angry woman at a CHURCH. If you don't know about God/Jesus etc. and this place was your first experience, and it went badly- I really hope you don't give up, and think that is what it's about- cause it's not. Call another church until you find somewhere that feels to good to you. Generally speaking- you should leave a church feeling uplifted, and supported in case life gets ya.

My family and I started attending City Life last August and because of the AWESOME atmosphere, the…read moreinviting people and other families we decided to make this our church home!! Come visit, I guarantee that you'll be back.
