What We Believe

Bayside Presbyterian Church
Picture
Our Vision Statement:  
Changing lives.  Growing Christian disciples.  Living God's Word.

We are a congregation of all ages and diverse gifts, united by faith in Jesus Christ and committed to living out the Good News of his love in word and action.

In response to God's grace, we seek to grow in faith through worship and study together; to share the Good News of what God has done; and to embody the compassion and concern of followers of Jesus Christ.  We invite you to join us in this journey of faith at Bayside Presbyterian Church.

We are a covenant community of Christ's people seeking to know and do the will of God.

Sacraments
We understand Baptism and Communion to be Sacraments, instituted by God and commended by Christ.  They are signs of the real presence and power of Christ in the Church, symbols of God's action and a visible way of presenting God's promises.

Baptism:  As described in the Book of Order, "Baptism enacts and seals what the Word proclaims: God's redeeming grace offered to all people.  Baptism calls us to repentance, to faithfulness, and to discipleship."  (Book of Order W-3.0402)

Communion:  The Lord's Supper signifies our communion with the crucified and risen Lord.  The Lord's Supper is a sacrament of continuous growth, nourishment and new life.  In our Reformed tradition, participation in this sacrament should follow the sacrament of baptism.  Just as humans need food and drink for nurture and sustenance, Calvin wrote that the Holy Meal is God's way of providing for our maintenance during the whole course of our lives after we have been received into God's family.
