Bay Hills Church - Richmond, California

This is a great church. I love coming here every Sunday morning. Pastor Dave is terrific. He is very intelligent and has a great sense of humor. I enjoy singing along during the worship. They have a good band and singers. The greeters and ushers are very friendly. I like when missionaries come to visit and the special events at this church. I would recommend this church to anyone.

My wife and I first came to this church in 2012. We had been at Hilltop Community church for a few years prior, but after their assistant pastor left, we didn't really feel like anything was keeping us there.

We stumbled across this church after a few teenagers were overheard talking highly about, and that caught my attention because what teenager likes church?

We came in on Father's Day, and there was so much good going on. Fun, friendliness, community, laughter, celebration, joy. The kind of environment you would expect Jesus to actually participate in.

Well, 6 Year's later almost, and we're still here. We are involved in the fitness and fun small group. The pastor knows us on a first name basis. Our son became acclimated to a classroom setting through the children's ministry. He comes home singing songs, and has friends in preschool that are also in his Sunday school class.

I've bumped into friends and coworkers here. It's an amazing place to connect. The church is active and does stuff. And serves. And isn't pretentious. They're funny. The message is real. It's relevant. It's convicting. We actually stick around after service to talk with people. (Free coffee and donuts doesn't hurt either).

My first Sunday checking out Bay Hills, I was beyond nervous. I knew almost no one. I hadn't been to church in decades and I wasn't where I wanted to be with God. I wasn't even completely ready to socialize, but I took a leap of faith and showed up to check this place out. The second I walked up to the doors, I was greeted by two sincere people and with many other smiles. The music had already started and it was positive, encouraging and moving. I felt God in the worship. The message began and it made me laugh, cry (yes in the first day...lol) and think. Pastor Daves sermon was completely based on scripture. He used comprehensive examples, hilarious stories, and I didn't catch myself zoning out or checking the time...which...to be completely honest, I'm prone to in uncomfortable situations. Afterwards, I helped myself to coffee and doughnuts and bumped into a few people i knew! They were excited and surprised to see me there and we caught up. They introduced me to someone else who showed my the childrens ministry (epic!) And the nursery was a DREAM for me as a new mom. Time was flying, and before I knew it, I had to head out. I came back the next week...and haven't stopped going since. The messages at Bay Hills have helped me become the closest to God I've ever been, and the friendships i've made over the past year and a half are such an important aspect of my life. As an active member, I am now happily involved with the church including the children's ministry and small groups. Learning about the churches structure and community over the years has only made me feel more and more blessed to have found such a Jesus-focused, diverse, sincere, honest, and fun place to call home.

Fantastic, upbeat connections with God! Learning the word of God without the feeing of being talked at. I have never felt as welcome in any church. Give it a try.
