Welcome to Kent Island
We are setting sail for new waters! Bay Area is launching a new campus on Kent Island, and our mission remains the same: to make passionate, maturing followers of Jesus.
Much like the pioneers who established Maryland’s first settlement on Kent Island in 1631, we are planting a new mission outpost—not just for convenience, but as a lighthouse of hope for the Eastern Shore. Jesus called us to be fishers of men (Matthew 4:19), and we believe this campus will be a place where people encounter His life-transforming love. Right now, we are laying the foundation—securing a building, raising support, and searching for the right Campus Pastor to shepherd this new faith family. Already, over 30 Kent Island families have stepped up to invest in this mission, and we are trusting God to provide the remaining support we need. As we prepare to launch, we invite you to be part of this journey!
