Unfortunately Bayside is a fairly run of the mill non-denominational church as a business style…read moreorganization. In a culture that needs biblical truth more each year, this church does not much more than pander to the same culture that Christ says will hate Him. Below are a few notes for someone who is critically thinking about which church they should attend. Sermons - With the exception of one campus pastor, each sermon I have heard at the different campuses, as well as Randy's sermons are theologically shallow and provide little past emotional quips and jokes. I have personally heard parts of sermons that are blatantly plagiarized from other pastors around the country as well. They stream Randy most weeks to all campuses and it seems his love for the spotlight is the central focus of most sermons. I have heard him attempt to share the gospel during an altar call without mentioning sin once which says a lot about the maturity of the message being given. If your gospel is only about the therapeutic feel good aspects of Jesus loving you and taking away shame while failing to mention the sin that separates us and makes Jesus necessary for salvation, then you will leave people with an anemic and unbiblical view of themselves and Christ. A couple other examples of some of the preaching atrocities I have heard are: I have heard a pastor call Rahab "a hoe" during a sermon, Charlotte Gamble preaching some of the most unorthodox, nonsensical sermons ever to be spoken, I could go on. Culture - Bayside has some very loving people in their congregation but since the church is structured in the way that it is, there is very little connection between the community and its pastors if you are not within the inner circle. They use their objectively commercial success on social media and in congregation size as a justification that what they are doing is right when actually it seems this church and many in the community follow the same marketing/investment techniques to get as many butts in seats as possible. The worship centers on spectacle over truth. There is also a very unspoken but noticeable culture around the staff and the broader more connected people in the church that shames or dismisses any criticism or desire for growth in the organization. I have personally heard of Randy mocking a fellow staff members, volunteers being overworked, and people who bring anything up about it are quickly pushed to lower influence positions or outright relegated to not serving in any meaningful capacity. The culture emphasizes spectacle and emotional highs over the truth of God's word. Their budget for "At the movies" is higher than both their easter and Christmas services. Very telling for how little respect for any type of orthdoxy this church has. Closing Thoughts - Overall I would avoid this church if you are looking to grow in faith and not just be entertained. I personally think it is only a matter of time before this church becomes the center of some scandal and hope that God can turn it around before people get hurt.

They are very different style churches...This review is to highlight the Source Church on 301. The Source church is focused on changing ppls lives in/ through Christ, and I have seen many miracles there. Pastors Ralph and Pastor Joanne are passionate, knowledgeable and legit in their ministry. They are bible based, and filled with the spirit. The praise and worship is often spirit moving and leads my spitit to tears in a good way often. The Source provides small groups, business related, couples related and a newly formed singles groups, in addition to child care for Sunday services and one off counseling when needed. ( call the office for details if in crisis ) It is a smaller church with a big heart. Check them out at 9 and 11- Sundays attend a live service or inquire at the info center Sundays in the Hub.

Run ,don't walk , from this church. I attended this church as a guest for 3 months. At first glance…read more, the church was warm and inviting. As of this Sunday , I left this church grateful that the Lord revealed the true character of the pastoral staff. The staff feels "led" to berate , lecture , discipline and reprimand a guest (not a member ). The worship leader actually called it church disciple to me , but then he backtracked in front of the lead pastor. For our little impromptu lecture , they both deflected and called it a sit down talk , all the while acting as if I had broken all 10 commandments by being "disrespectful (their words not mine ). They just didn't take the time to see the ungodly attitude while administering this little talk( in the middle of a crowded room ). Dust my feet off and move on from this toxic church.
