Our Story

Walk By Faith Not By Sight

The story of Bayside is a story of walking by faith, not by sight. This theme has resonated in the hearts of those who have come before us, and it is a picture of how Bayside began nearly 50 years ago. As we look into the future, God continues to lead us to walk by faith.

God’s Calling

We believe God is always calling us to somewhere we’ve never been, calling us to more. There is always a next step God is calling each of us towards, and we want to embrace this life of faith. We believe God is at work ahead of us, and we want to join him where He’s at work.

Our vision is to become a movement of God seeing lives changed in Chattanooga and beyond.

Building on the rich history of living by faith we believe God is calling us into the future to impact this city and see lives changed by the power of Jesus!
