I’m New

New to Bayside Church?

It doesn’t matter if you have had a church upbringing or never stepped foot inside a church, we want everyone to feel welcomed,  included and free to experience God at Bayside Church.

We offer services online as well as in-person services and therefore welcome you to check us out.

If you have any questions about us, check out our FAQs.

FAQs

  • How long will the church service go for?

    The entire service is usually concluded within an hour and a half.
    The service order can vary slightly, but we usually begin with the band and singers leading the congregation in three or four praise and worship songs. This is followed by a welcome, announcements and the Bayside News video of what’s coming up at church. We then receive an offering and teach a message that is relevant to everyday life.

  • What should I wear?

    Feel free to wear whatever you are most comfortable in. Most Baysiders wear smart casual attire to services.

  • Where do I park?

    Although Bayside Church has a dedicated car park, the spots are few. We ask that those spots are reserved for the elderly and families with prams. There is plenty of on-street parking in the neighbouring streets which are unrestricted on weekends. Please ask a car park attendant if you are in doubt.

  • Where should I sit?

    You are welcome to sit wherever you like in the auditorium. There are designated wider rows for parents with prams at the back of the auditorium. If you are unsure where to go, just ask one of our friendly ushers and they will help find you a seat.

  • Do I need to give money?

    We do not expect guests to give in the offering. At no time are members of Bayside Church under any compulsion to give, however we do teach Biblical principles of generosity.

  • What about children?

    We have children’s ministry available so that parents can enjoy the service. We have Buddies (walking – pre-school aged) and Kidz Rock (primary school aged) programs. Your children can expect to have fun and learn about God and Jesus and how Christian faith can make the world a better place. If you prefer your child to be with you during the service that’s absolutely fine.

  • What about teenagers?

    At Bayside we encourage all generations to worship God together at one of our weekend services. In addition, we also have the Bayside Youth program that takes place on Friday nights.
