Our Mission
If we had just one word to describe Bay Area, it would be Jesus.
We are Jesus people. We love Jesus, follow Jesus, and seek to become like Jesus.

If we had two words, it would be make disciples.
We want to grow as disciples of Jesus who help make disciples of others.

If we had one sentence, it would be our mission statement: Making passionate, maturing followers of Jesus from here to the nations.
Every word is important. Passionate. Not apathetic. Maturing. We are always growing. Followers. Everybody follows someone or something. We follow Jesus. From here. Right where we live. To the nations. All around the world.

If we had one verse, it would be Matthew 28:19; “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”
We believe that God calls every believer and every church to live out the mission of making disciples of all nations.

Our Vision
God gives every church a unique vision to accomplish His kingdom purposes in the world. At Bay Area, our vision is to help change the world by advancing the gospel in you, your neighbors, and the nations. It’s the vision of showing and sharing the Good News of Jesus, in every community, in every city, in every nation of the world.
YOU, OUR NEIGHBORS, AND THE NATIONS are in desperate need of the gospel.
The greatest injustice in the world is that there are millions of people going down a path toward death and destruction without any way of knowing. We believe that God wants to use each of us to help change the world one life at a time by advancing the gospel in you, your neighbors, and the nations so that the church of Jesus Christ multiplies.

Our vision is for your NEIGHBORS!
Jesus showed up! He moved into the neighborhood. He made people feel seen, known and cared for. And as we are on a journey, together, to become more like Jesus, we want to love our neighbors like He does! We carry Good News in a world full of bad news. This Good News is that in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection we are offered forgiveness, freedom and a new life. It is the message that an anxious, overworked and desperate generation deeply needs. We are light in the darkness.
It is not about having the perfect words, persuasive arguments, or an extroverted personality. It is not a program or a performance; it's about people. It's a life-changing, life-saving relationship with Jesus.
It’s not just for experts. It’s for everyday disciples like me and you. We don’t need to be used car salespeople; we are just satisfied customers who have found something so good that it's too good to keep to ourselves. We are ordinary people sharing our extraordinary Hope.
And it’s this model and message of Jesus that gives us a mission and a truly significant purpose worth living for. That is why we aim to become the kind of people who live on mission with Jesus to show and share the good news with our neighbors where we live, work, play, and learn.

Our vision is for the NATIONS!
Hundreds of nations, thousands of ethnic groups, billions of people – all loved by God. God has a heart for every tribe, tongue and nation. At Bay Area, we challenge each other to view our lives in light of God's grand redemptive plan for the nations.
Our vision is to see God use us in 17 regions around the globe. Currently in 14 regions, we are in awe of what the Lord is doing. From planting churches in Poland, Lebanon, India and Kenya, to reaching thousands of youth in Ghana and the Dominican Republic, to feeding and educating the poor in Belize; to caring for those with HIV aids in Uganda, to equipping pastors and church leaders in South Sudan and Russia, to sending out hundreds of people on short term mission teams, God is using us as we pray, give and go. We are convinced that God blesses the church who has His heart for the nations.

You, Neighbors, Nations. Three words that capture our vision.
You were born for such a time as this. God gave you the gift of life, determined when and where you would live, gave you gifts, opportunities and resources.
Why? Because He wants you to become more like Jesus and help others do the same. No matter how famous or wealthy or great you might become in the eyes of others, there is nothing that you will ever be privileged to do that compares to being on mission to help change the world with Jesus.
