Building Bridges in the Community

At Bay Life we’ve decided to ask this challenging question - if our church ceased to exist, would we be missed?

We want to ensure that our community influence is valuable and significant. To that end, we’ve partnered with various local organizations to provide Bay Lifers with real opportunities to make a difference, right here where we live. Our hope is that as our people participate in these projects, they will begin to see service as a lifestyle, not just as another event.

Take a look through our community partner opportunities below and get involved in a life-changing project today.

We’d love to hear about your experiences. After your project is complete, email us and tell us all about it.
