Bay Area Church members will vote to approve and ordain Elder candidates at 9:30am and 11:00am on Sunday in both worship services. All candidates were presented at the Bay Area Family gathering in April 2018, after a full year of training and testing. The elders, received inquiries concerning the candidates and answered each inquiry. For another look at their biographies please visit www.bayarea.church/elders.

Champion’s Club
Bay Area Church desires to minister to ALL children and their families. We are building a team to serve children with special needs on Sunday Mornings. Currently, we partner a buddy to accompany the child in a classroom. In the near future, we will have 2 specially equipped “Champion’s Club” classrooms, to minister more effectively to kids through 6th Grade. You don’t have to be professionally educated as a special needs teacher to be a buddy (or serve in Champion’s Club), but those of you with this training would be extremely helpful to our ministry. Otherwise, if you are interested and passionate to serve with these kids, please email cherie.niscavits@bayarea.church for more information or you may apply here: bayarea.church/go/.
