Just Said Yes to Jesus?
This is the beginning of everything. Welcome to the family.
Here’s What Comes Next
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
You've made the greatest decision of your life. Now let's talk about what comes next. Whether you have questions, need encouragement, or just want someone to celebrate with you, we've got your back.
Get Baptized
Every September, we celebrate Missions Month at Bayside Chapel!
It's an outward expression of the inward change that's already happened in your heart. It's a celebration, an act of obedience, and a powerful step in your spiritual journey. We'd be honored to baptize you and celebrate this moment with you!
Have questions? Reach out to Pastor John—he'd love to talk with you about what baptism means and help you take this step.
Read the Bible Every Day
God's Word is alive.
It will transform your thinking, guide your decisions, and help you know God's heart in a deeper way. Even just a few verses a day will change everything.
Easy ways to get started:
- Pick up a printed Life Journal for $5 at any Bayside campus
- Download the free YouVersion Bible app
- Follow along with our church's Bible reading plan
- Contact us if you need help getting started
Talk to God in Prayer
Prayer is a conversation.
God isn't distant or unreachable. He wants to hear from you, like a close friend. Talk to Him about everything—your joys, your struggles, your questions, your fears. And then take time to listen. Make space every day to pray.
How to get started:
Before you read the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to teach your heart and guide you in all truth. Something like this: “Holy Spirit (or God), please reveal the truth of the Bible to me so that I may apply it to my life. I am expecting to learn from You, Amen.”
Be a Part of Community
You can't grow alone.
Just like a coal taken from a fire will soon go out, Christians need the encouragement of other believers. When you gather with your church family, you'll hear God's Word, worship together, and build relationships that will help your faith grow strong.

Use your gifts to make a difference.
God created you with unique gifts and a specific purpose. At Bayside, we'd love your help creating environments where people can encounter Jesus and experience His love. Serving isn't just about helping out—it's about discovering who God made you to be.
