They are obviously very serious about honoring the Lord, following His word, and serving others. They were planning the meal and indoor shelter for the homeless this week and promised details of the recent trip to Paradise where some of them were helping to rebuild houses. A bonus is that there are several small groups which can help newcomers connect with others. If you're on the fence, just go and visit. Don't miss out on this sweet congregation.

Not as much as a Godly church I thought they were, they care more about their reputation and image…read morethan they do about God. I visited it back in 2012 I liked the music and service back then. I called them recently asking for a ride to church and back, but they want to hold my past against me from almost 20 years ago even though God forgave me along time ago, and all temptation and sins are common to man. I feel discriminated against, they treat strangers better than me. What did I ever do to them. The Bible says that if you don't forgive and forget a person's past God won't forgive and forget your past.

This place is a scam.

They are asking $750. to SHARE a room with a stranger, you can find that yourself, for less money on Craigslist or Facebook.

It's heartbreaking to see how far this organization has fallen from what it used to be. There was a…read moretime when the people experiencing homelessness were at the center of the mission. Now, it feels like they're treated more like dollar signs than human beings. Leadership has lost sight of the compassion and dignity that once made this organization worth believing in. The growing reliance on law enforcement is especially disappointing for an organization that is supposed to provide safety and support. I once believed deeply in this organization. I don't anymore, and that is probably the most disappointing part.

Outreach (CCAT) and Safe Space went no police calls 3 years ago. It is a safe environment for folks to have shelter a decent meal and much needed rest. IT IS A COME AS YOU ARE NOT A DO AS YOU WANT. Everyone is appreciative and the folks bring new light to our vast amount of volunteers. Over 400 per season. I am proud to support Safe Space. About people saying that Safe Space allows folks to roam the neighborhoods is a false statement. Once in they must stay in. There is no reentry of you leave. Maybe if folks would observe or just believe if it best for folks to not use or drink all night and be safe from the elements. The roamers are NOT safe space guests. There is specific smoking sections on the property and if you are caught doing what is against the rules YES they are held accountable.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING ABLE TO SERVE OTHERS!…read more Being able to serve the families that come here is a real blessing. Don't get me wrong... I enjoy receiving things, but giving is way more rewarding in my opinion. The kids that smile and say thank you, the warmth and the love... it's a WHOLE VIBE! If you've never had the chance to do this before, I would HIGHLY encourage you to come out and do it! The families get to eat for free (you can't beat that), and they give enough food for everyone to get their fill. All of the employees and volunteers work very hard so that the people who show up know they are appreciated no matter where they are in life. Gotta sign up well in advance if you want to serve! Anyways... I love it and will be back once again next year!

I'm relatively new to Bayside and I understand there's been recent changes to the ministry team. I…read morerecently moved to the area and went to several churches in the area which simply did not sit right with me in word or atmosphere. I went to a coffee shop at the Fountains working while I sat outside. My attention was peaked when I overheard two woman nearby speaking about thier faith and I resonated with what they were saying so much that I had to ask them what church they went to as I was currently looking for a new home church. They happily invited me to sit down with them and get to know them briefly as they told me about their church. Then I tried their church at Bayside Adventure. I didn't tell them I was going as I didn't want special expectedness. I went wanting to see the real people involved at Bayside & I was genuinely, tentatively impressed with such a warm, compassionate filled presence. I love that I'm not attending a rock concert in the dark! I love that the pastoral team actively encourages you week to week to follow along in your own Bible, not just expecting you to passively listen to them. I will say, you receive what you put out, if you want to get connected- connections are easily made. If you want to keep to yourself, no intrusion is put upon you. Ive been attending, skipped a couple weeks and each time returning to happy faces that genuinely seem happy to see me and continue to be welcoming. I highly recommend this church, the children's ministry is a huge part of this church too, welcoming families, singles, empty nesters, seniors, men, and women. I would easily say there's something for everyone.

The last few days have hit us conservatives hard, been quite emotional and hopeful for God to heal…read moremy heart - so I visited Bayside church on Sunday in hopes of getting the support and prayers. That did not happen: Bayside leaders messed up big time - they did not say a prayer for Charlie Kirk's family or at least have a moment of silence to honor his memory - I left sad and heartbroken... My friends said even Catholic Churches recognized Charlie. Bayside worship leader and pastor did nothing to honor a great Christian who was martyred - I watched the memorial service on YouTube and was so touched... I haven't been to church for awhile, so the visit was truly disappointing- from worship being a performance (overly loud music, lights and video on side screens focused on drummer, etc), this was clearly not about Jesus. Too many inconsistencies in pastor's message, from saying there's true evil in this world and then saying that it's also in all of our hearts: speak for yourself dude... Pastor even joked that he was giving a Ted talk - yeah, it felt like rehearsed speech that he's getting paid for, I didn't trust his words like I believed Charlie Kirk; being a young man trying to find God - I was quite disappointed, didn't feel like this church cares about me.. At one point the pastor said that we're all selfish and our circle of friends are people who like us: does he want us to surround ourselves with people who hate us? Besides few welcoming faces at the entrance- no one came up to chat or cared enough to pray for me. I won't be back and can't recommend this church. I'm sure some churches actually practice what they preach- but not bayside leaders - they are woke liberals, as I'm sure many members are here... From 2005-2020, I served/volunteered and donated a lot of time and $$ to Bayside - no pastor ever recognized my service and donations(even Ray Johnston or Kurt Harlow whom I met) and I came to realize that this liberal mega-church business model is focused on raising $$, not care about people - it's truly a disappointing and heartbreaking experience.

Our dog found a baby bird that fell out of it's nest. At first glance, we thought she killed it…read more That wasn't the case, she was trying to save it by licking it since the bird was injured. It had a gash on its head and was too small to fly. Our dog was really sad and worried for the bird. We had heard about Gold Country and how they are known to help injured animals. I searched them on Yelp and luckily they were open. With our dog and baby bird in a small Amazon box in tow, we were off! They told us that they would put the bird in an incubator and nurse it back. They gave us their email and we could contact them to check on it. We were right about it being a baby dove. We were saddened to hear that after two days, the morning dove didn't make it. It's great to know we have a place close by to take animals that have been injured or displaced. Also, we bought several Tie Dye tees to support this wonderful organization.
