Faith Steps

Steps to developing your faith

Becoming a disciple and follower of Jesus Christ is a life-long process of reading God’s Word, learning to listen to the Holy Spirit and obeying His Word. At Bayside Church we provide a pathway which encourages us to know the foundations of the Christian faith, our identity in Christ and how to walk in the freedom that Christ has purchased. We also aim to equip you for ministry so that you can establish your kingdom purpose at Bayside Church.

We ask all Baysiders to complete each step.

We also offer a great range of courses during various times of the year.

Alpha

Explore life, faith and meaning with Alpha. 
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith, to ask questions, and share their point of view in an open, friendly environment.

Typically run over eight weeks Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, looking at a different question around faith and designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs in cafés, churches, universities, homes – you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally, they have three key things in common: food, a talk and good conversation.

Water Baptism

Water baptism is an integral step in a Christian's life, so much so that even Jesus role modelled the importance of it. It is a moment when we publically declare our faith in Jesus and we unite with him in his death and resurrection.
