    Navigating Special Needs Parenting: An Inspiring Journey with Russ Ewell

    An innovative approach to ensure children's development and inclusion at the Bay Area Christian Church, and the various programs to support special needs families.

Welcome

We’re glad you’re here

Jesus was a simple man with a simple plan to make God known. Together, we constantly look at Jesus through God’s Word, inspired to become whatever destiny requires so that we can give hope to the many still unfamiliar with God’s amazing love. We do this by building a community rooted in the Bible, fostering deep spiritual friendships, and doing good in our community.

We meet in eight Sunday service locations across the Bay Area, and our small groups meet throughout the week.

We hope you will join us in our mission to create a non-traditional, non-denominational, life-changing church.

Getting connected

We are a church dedicated to walking with God.

We believe that what makes church special is not only the Sunday sermon, but also the spiritual connections we build with God and each other.

Sunday services
