Making Our Mark!

So, our church continues to grow! Another fun adventure this year was the remodeling of our Worship Center. Because of people’s generosity, enough money was raised to upgrade our bleachers to comfier seats.  Not only did the remodel result in comfier seats, but it also added 300 more seats!

How did we raise that kind of money you ask? 

Bayside launched a Compassion First campaign called Whatever It Takes. Before we kept a dime raised, the money went first to causes all around the world in regards to poverty, abuse, sex trafficking, natural disasters etc… There were 5 areas of compassion we funded before we funded improvements to our campus.

Fight sex trafficking and poverty.
Invest in local, high-impact ministries.
Reach at-risk kids.
Serve our community.
Train the next generation of Christian leaders.

More on this to come in a later blog!

Not only did we leave a mark on our community, we also left a mark on the walls! When Bayside first built the worship center several years ago, we were given a chance to write our names and prayers on the walls and floors before they were covered. Mike and I didn’t get a chance to do that then, so here we are doing it now. So cool and so fun! Feeling so blessed to be apart of such a compassionate church!

Below is picture of what Mike and I wrote.
