About Bayside Chapel
Since 1944, Bayside Chapel has been a lighthouse on the Oregon coast—a place where people can encounter the love of Jesus and discover what it means to truly come home.
Our Purpose
Bayside Chapel exists to:
Exalt Jesus as Lord of all
Extend Christ's love to people
Embrace people in fellowship
Empower people to grow
Equip people to serve
Our Story
For over 80 years, Bayside Chapel has been a place where the coast meets the cross—a lighthouse guiding people home.
What started in the spring of 1944 as a small gathering of believers has grown into a multi-campus family united by one mission: reaching people and touching lives with the love of Jesus.
We're not a perfect church. We're a church full of imperfect people who've discovered that belonging matters, grace is real, and God's love changes everything.
Our Heart
Our Vision
To be a lighthouse; to connect and share the unconditional love of Jesus Christ with our community and world.
Our Mission
Reaching people and touching lives.
Our Community Impact
Since 2004, the Depoe Bay Food Pantry has operated out of Bayside Chapel, serving up to 50 families weekly through Food Share of Lincoln County and Oregon Food Bank. This is love in action—meeting needs, building community, and reflecting the heart of Jesus.
Our Team
From our Lead Pastors to every volunteer who serves with us, we're committed to showing people the same love that Jesus has shown us.
Our Foundation
What We Believe
These are nonnegotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. This list is derived from the official Statement of Fundamental Truths. Click the links below to see the complete original statement with scriptures.
God & His Word
WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
WE BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
Salvation & The Fall
WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
Baptism & Communion
WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.
The Holy Spirit
WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
The Church & Its Mission
WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE...A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.
Healing & Miracles
WE BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
The Return of Christ & Eternity
WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
