Love Bayside. When moved to California I stopped by one weekend. Liked first service and after getting connected got everything I could have asked for. All it took is to ask somebody in bayside shirt about what is the next step. They helped me join a small group of my age where I met many Christian friends. I go to one of the services during weekend for great worship and powerful message plus during week I go to my small group to continue learning about Christ while developing stronger relationship with him and other Christian people. Christ changed my life and Bayside is giving me support. Very happy with my church. Thank you Bayside for everything you do

Visited this church when seeing family in Roseville. One of the pastors is recently from Ireland, and a truly fabulous speaker with a meaningful and not "fluffy" message. The strobe lights and music were a bit too much for us, but their outreach, groups, and community is tremendous. If you have questions about the Lord and want a low-pressure loving community to help you out, come here!

Awesome programs that fit almost every need possible, the most important of which are the numerous small groups that meet morning noon and night on every day of the week. In my experience if you want to get more involved in this organization they make it easy to stay connected. After just a year in the area my Mother's had already built a large group of friends who she regularly connects with.

Very unfriendly church to the parents with little kids on strollers. Basically you are not allowed in main worship hall with stroller and if you don t want to go and sit in the room on second floor you must leave. I wonder if same rules apply for disabled people on wheel chairs and no body was able to answer that question. Will never come back to this church because there is no love.

If you like to worship and you are O K with a BIG Church family you may have found a match for you and your family. My wife and I have been attending at Bayside for several years and we love the environment there. They have Bible Studies and conferences and all kinds of wonderful trainings. There is a little something for everyone and all ages. Check it out I believe you will love the Bayside experience.

Always moved by the message at this church no matter who is speaking. Worship singers are incredible, though there is quite a bit of lights and effects during worship which may not be some people's style. Alot of millennials and younger people attend so the feeling is young and alive with energy. We also like that they have multiple locations and service times. Sunday evenings at Granite Bay fits our schedule best.

**the review by SayNoTo Libtards is a fake. That guy has posted that exact review on several different church review sites!!

Bayside is a real, bible based, loving, Christ centered church that appeals to all ages, races and walks of life. Their are many programs and resources available to support your walk with Christ.

I just previewed the Christmas service at Bayside and we've been going there for the last 4 years.
The service is centered around technology... the history of phones from car phones to the Google Glass. It is not a relevant message. I'm sorry I was really looking forward to taking our family to Bayside this weekend...not now. Please watch the live stream and decide for yourself.
I must say that LIncoln rocked though.

Conflicted. I ve been attending Bayside for 4 months and attend pretty much every week. I love the worship which is very inspiring and up-lifting and really is the best part of the service.

The sermons are generally good but the last three weeks have been centered solely around fundraising. I have been donating monthly to the church even though I m still evaluating whether this is the right church for me.

Yesterday though was a bit troubling to me and is why I m conflicted. In the weekly materials they had a pledge card for their Motion fundraising drive. The sermon was centered around the pledge card. Pastor Ray spoke about his $100,000 donation as did the other pastors on stage. I thought this was odd. They suggested through prayer God will open our heart to give. I agree with this that through prayer God speaks to us. And I do realize Bayside does good in the community.

What ultimately blew me away was at the end of the fundraising plea Pastor Kurt told everyone to take out the card and take out your pen and make your pledge, 3 minutes to do so even though minutes earlier they spoke about through prayer God will open your heart to help determine your gift. I know for me God speaks to me through prayer in stages, it is not immediate. It is a reflective process, not immediate. The method of their request seemed very high pressure to me.

So the whole thing was very awkward and revealing to me. Pastor Ray even made a comment something to effect that he can refer you to 7 other churches, insinuating Bayside is only for those with deep or very generous pockets. It was very disappointing to me as a renewed Christian looking for a home.
