Vision & Mission

Our Vision is to be a life-giving community of loving relationships that proclaims the Gospel
                      in word and deed.

Our Mission at Bayview is to:

·      Glorify God  (in everything we do)

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” 
1 Corinthians 10:31

·      Live the Great Commandment  (Love God and Love Others)

 “Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37-39)

·      Fulfill the Great Commission  (Go and make disciples of Jesus Christ)

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matt. 28:19-20).

We Value:

          We value personal, loving, growing relationships with God and people. 
         (John 1:12, Philippians 3:10, Matt. 22:38-40, John 13:34-35)

           We value godly servant leadership. We believe that biblical leadership is 
        best expressed through serving people.
        (Mark 10:45, Luke 22:25-27, Gal. 5:13)

          It is the standard by which we evaluate all teaching, preaching and 

          personal behavior. 

          (1 Tim. 3:16, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:10-11)

           We believe God communicates and accomplishes His purposes through 
           the individual and corporate prayers of His people. 
           (2 Chron. 7:14, Matt. 6:9-13, John 16:24)

           We value whole-hearted, Spirit-led worship of God the Father and His 
          Son Jesus Christ.
           (Psalm 2:11-12, Psalm 99:5, Psalm 100, John 4:24, Luke 4:8) 

          We believe that the Holy Spirit works through individual believers as

         they obediently exercise their spiritual gifts by faith.

         (1 Cor. 12:7-11, 1 Pet. 4:10, Romans 12:6-8)
