ABOUT BAY HILLS

come to life

Bay Hills is a church with deep roots in the East Bay that exists for one reason: to bring Life to those who’ve exhausted their hope in things that only promise life. While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we do take our mission seriously — that every member of our church is being revived by the Life-giver Himself, Jesus.

"My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."—John 10:10

WHO WE ARE

From our humble beginnings on Appian Way, Bay Hills has grown into a vibrant community of faith that passionately believes in the transformative power of Jesus. We witness it every day.

Our worship services are passionate and uplifting. Life groups offer a space for deep, meaningful relationships. We’re dedicated to serving our community by providing support and hope to those in need.

Bay Hills is a church that’s found real life, and we invite you to come to Life with us.

OUR MISSION

To lead people to the only source of Life.

Bay Hills exists to create safe spaces where real people can encounter the transformative power of Jesus, build authentic relationships, and grow in faith together. Let's do life together!

OUR VISION

A future where more and more people are coming to Life. 

Our vision is a future where lives are elevated, relationships are restored, and faith is flourishing — and where Bay Hills becomes a hub for spiritual awakening and renewal in our community.

LIVING IN LIGHT OF A NEW HOPE

When we live in the light of tomorrow’s promises, it changes how we face today’s struggles. It gives us strength, peace, and a fresh perspective on what truly matters.

I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Jesus wanted His followers to know that they didn’t have to live in darkness, hopelessness and bondage to sin. If they would follow Him, then He would bring His “light of life” into their lives.

what we stand for

Bay Hills isn’t just about what we believe — it’s about how we live.
So our core values aren’t just words to us, they’re the pillars we stand on to shape our culture and guide everything we do. These values keep us rooted, united, and focused on leading people to Life.
We take people seriously, but take ourselves lightly. This means we’re willing to laugh at our expense, but not at the expense of others. At the end of the day, we know that “we” is more important than “me.”
We’re all-in on Jesus. His vision, mission, and purposes. We’re all-in on the Bible. We butt our preferences, opinions, and politics up against it. And we’re all-in on Bay Hills. We invite, we engage, and we bring our community our best.
We take professional ownership of our ministry so others don’t have to pick up our slack.  We take personal ownership of our mistakes so others don’t get blamed.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

CENTERED ON JESUS.
rooted iN THE BIBLE.

At Bay Hills, everything we do flows from one central belief: Jesus brings dead things to life. We hold tightly to the truth of the Bible as God’s Word and the foundation for how we live, love, and serve. Our faith is built on key doctrines, including the power of grace, the hope of salvation,
and the call to share God’s love with our community and the world.
