Weekly Update, July 19th, 2024

Hi church,

The new church sign arrived this week and it looks fantastic! The sign has a clean look with our new logo and it lights up well at night. Our church is blessed with an excellent location. May God use the sign in the coming days to draw people's attention to our church and we can point them to Him!

Seating & Parking

Our attendance numbers keep growing and we’re having new visitors each week! If possible, please move to the center of the row so that late comers can easily find a seat. It would also be helpful if we parked in the back, leaving parking spaces for visitors and late arrivers in the front. There are handicapped spaces and doors to the atrium at the back of the building as well. Thank you!

The Story of Scripture

Bay Area Community Church will be hosting The Story of Scripture: Understanding God’s Grand Story, from Genesis to Revelation on Nov. 8th & 9th.
