Membership is essential in the life of our church. Members are professing Christians who, in obedience to scripture, commit to the teaching, the mission, and the family of Bay Area. Our members faithfully attend, serve, lead, follow, and give; all for the fame of Jesus and advancement of His kingdom. While any and everyone is invited to attend our services, Members are those who have committed themselves to be “all in” as we work to fulfill our mission to glorify God by making disciples, equipping families, and serving the World with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Baptism
Baptism is an essential prerequisite for church membership. We believe that baptism is...
the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
Schedule Baptism
"Baptism & Life in Christ Class"
If you are an adult who has completed the “Next Steps to Membership Class” and are awaiting baptism, please consider attending the “Baptism & Life in Christ Class” offered monthly.
Executive Pastor, Josh Allen, will provide biblical insight into the significance of baptism by immersion as well as the marks of maturing in Christ.
