Bayside Community Church is located in the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose, Ca beside Willow Glen High School. The fabric of our church is expressed by our two commonly used statements: Bayside: Many Cultures. One Savior. Love God. Love People. No Limits. The four values of our church are: Unapologetic Preaching – Proclaiming the authority of God’s Word without apology (2 Timothy 4:2). We mean expositional and applicational preaching. The message of the sermon should be found in the biblical text and should challenge people specifically. Unashamed Adoration – Lifting high the name of Jesus in worship (John 4:24). We mean vertical worship. Every facet of the worship service lifts high the glory and majesty of Jesus Christ. Unceasing Prayer – Believing firmly in the power of prayer (Ephesians 6:18). We mean a culture of dependence on God. We believe that fervent, faith-filled, persistent prayer is to be prioritized in every ministry environment of our church. Unafraid Witness – Sharing the good news of Jesus with boldness. (Ephesians 6:19-20). We mean both corporately and personally, we want to take risks to fulfill the Great Commission. This happens through personal sharing of faith and also by planting church-planting churches. The process: Through mentoring, small group involvement, and corporate worship we want to lead followers of Christ through the process of Worship Christ, Walk with Christ, Work for Christ, Witness for Christ. In 2018 the elders set in place a renewed vision and strategy for evangelism and growth. The first step in this process was a complete evaluation of our church leadership, ministries, and strategies by an outside consulting group. We have recently hired a lead admin and a children’s ministry director. The next step is the strategic hiring of a worship/youth pastor.
