Bayside Community Church - Lakewood Ranch Campus - Bradenton (FL)

5 /5 Lisa Moscarello: What a super living nativity they put on. Truly captured the spirit of Christmas and the reason for the season. They took care of everything from live animals to hot chocolate and cookies with sprinkles. They filled you up spiritually, as well as filling you with goodies, even hot coffee! After enjoying the living nativity, we got to view the polar express in the sanctuary on the big screen. As we were ready to go, we were taken back to our vehicle in a very comfy golf cart. Everyone there was extremely friendly.

5 /5 Roy wirth: We attended services with our cousins and our Lord filled this church with love and prayers. Pastor Randy ‘s message was a blessing for us.

5 /5 Stephanie Leaver: My husband and I have been attending Bayside for over two years now, ever since we moved across the country. Initially, we were a bit intimidated by the size of the church, but the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with so much love and kindness. Despite its large size, we felt truly seen and welcomed. Bayside does an incredible job of connecting with you and supporting you on your journey. If youre on the fence about joining a small group, getting connected, or going through Growth Track (especially Freedom), I encourage you to take the leap—you wont regret it! For us, participating in Groups and Freedom Weekend was life-changing. We rededicated our lives to Christ, and my husband and I were baptized together while I was entering my third trimester of pregnancy with our rainbow baby. Now, as small group leaders, I can personally testify to the power of prayer and the transformative impact of joining together in community. Bayside and the "big C" Church has truly been a blessing in our lives.
