Church on Your Street: One way that you can partner with us to saturate the 4B area with the Gospel during this time is by taking the opportunity to pray for, love, and serve those closest to you…the people that live on your street. How can we do this? You can bring Church on Your Street. Go to www.bayarea.church/live and click on the Church on Your Street button. There, you will find a simple but powerful plan for how you can pray for your street, support your street, serve your street, and be Jesus to your street!

KIDMIN PROMOTION PLANS: Our 2020-2021 Promotion Planning is a bit more challenging this year – due to the effects of the CoronaVirus. However, we are excited to be reopening on campus (and continuing online options)! We want to launch a successful program – but also expect to adjust as needed.  Even though difficult sometimes, change can be exciting – especially when it comes to Kids!  They bring their own level of excitement and anticipation!

Please make note of our new KidMin Age group Changes:

  •  Preschool: Birth – 4 years of age (or 5 but not entering kindergarten)—Preschool Promotion starts today!
  •  School Age: Kindergarten – 5th Grades — Will kick off Sunday, September 13 with “252 Kids” (Worship and LifeGroup Combo); Kids attend one hour of 252 Kids and the other hour with parents in worship. 

In order to open successfully, we must have additional Team Members!! Please consider partnering with us to provide awesome classes for kids – to build relationships and grow in the knowledge of God’s love and perfect plan for their lives.
