About Us

---

To lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Mark 16:15-16

We consider reaching people who do not know God personally one of our greatest responsibilities. Our Sunday services are for people at all stages in their spiritual journey but are primarily geared toward those who do not have a genuine relationship with God. 

We believe real life change happens in the context of authentic relationships, which is why we are a church made up of Small Groups. In the Bible, they worshiped in the temple, but personal ministry happened “house to house.”

Bay Shore Assembly offers information and experiences designed to help you discover and develop your redemptive purpose and live the full life God wants for you. Our process is made up of three tracks. We invite you to know what we hold as beliefs, discover areas you can grow in your discipleship within, and go places you never dreamed of with Bay Shore!

All of us were created by God to make a difference in the life of another person. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will never make sense until you find, develop and fulfill that purpose.

• We believe… the Bible is completely inspired by God, and serves as our authoritative guide for faith and practice.
  (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)
• We believe… there is only One True God, known as the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:16-17)
• We believe… as God’s Son, Jesus is both completely man and completely God. (Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Matthew 28:6; Acts 1:11)
• We believe… humanity’s sin has separated it from God, and the only way to restore the relationship is forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ, making us right before God and leading us on a life-long path to God. (Romans 5:12-19; Luke 24:47; Titus 3:5-7)
• We believe… there are two ways from the bible that show our commitment to Christ that we should absolutely follow:
  • Water Baptism after Salvation (Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48)
  • Participating in Holy Communion (1 Corinthians 11:26)
• We believe… the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a free gift for all believers that will give them strength to live life as a witness of Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:8; 2:4; 19:1-7)
• We believe… there is one Holy Universal Church that has a mission to evangelize the world, disciple followers of Christ, worship God, and provide Christlike works of compassion to all. (Mark 16:15, 16; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:11-16; James 1:27)
• We believe… Jesus will return, judge the world, and begin a time of eternal relationship with those who follow Him and eternal separation from those who choose not to follow. (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Revelation 20:11-13; 2 Peter 3:13)
