So you want to know about Bay Farm Community Church? Well first, you need to understand that we are not a perfect church. We are simply a group of people who are striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible. We are trying to practice relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, practical prayer, and compassionate care for those in need as we seek to show people our awesome Savior Jesus!
These are exciting times for our church. We have a new Lead Pastor – John Willoughby, and he is moving us forward to be the church God wants us to be. Our staff is growing, our ministries are expanding and our future is exciting. We hope you will feel free to look around our website and see the many ways God is moving in and around BFCC.
Most of all, we hope you decide to attend one of our Sunday morning worship services: 9:00 or 10:45 a.m. to see what God is doing among us, firsthand. Directions We are sure you will be encouraged as you gain practical insight on how to apply the Bible to your life.
BFCC is a family friendly church. You children will love Kids World with its fun music, games and lively teaching, and your teenagers will get amped up at our Empower student ministry (10:45 am). We have LifeGroups for adults offered during the week. These small groups are a great way to meet new friends around some delicious food and connect with God. (Check out life groups)
Please check out our ministries, where you’ll find opportunities to connect with new friends, grow spiritually, and serve others in our area. If there is any way we can serve you, please do not hesitate to ask. We are a community church that truly wants to make a difference in Alameda.
Bay Farm Community Church exists to help people Know Jesus, Grow to be like Jesus, and Show Jesus to the world.
We fulfill our purpose through:
Christ – Jesus is our Lord and Savior and is worthy of our praise and devotion. We are committed to becoming like Christ and fulfilling His mission!
Obedience to the Bible – We ultimately trust the Bible with our lives because it is ultimately trustworthy. We are convinced that it alone is the living Word of God that has the power to transform lives.
Relevance – We are committed to relating to our culture while remaining true to the Scriptures. It is a balance that allows us to present the Gospel in such a way that reaches the heart of our community.
Excellence – We are convinced that excellence should permeate everything we do for there is no reward for squandered potential, half-hearted effort or lukewarm faith. God deserves our very best!
Variety – God has made all of us unique so we could uniquely make a difference in our world. We believe lots of different people in one church focused on one mission greatly glorifies God.
All people – Because God sent His only Son Jesus to die for all people so that all people can be saved, we strive to get the Gospel to every people group in the world.
Life change – A ministry is only effective if it produces life change. We believe more lives are changed in small groups where people can intimately study the Bible, pray and fellowship. Big growth occurs in small groups!
Unity - We promote godly confrontation, forgiveness and restoration because unity in the church honors God and reflects His love.
Evangelism – Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ is supposed to be a normal, natural part of every Christian’s life. We passionately share the Good News because it is good news!
Spiritual gifts – We are convinced that Christians must discover, develop and deploy their spiritual gifts before they can do fruitful and fulfilling ministry.
