We seek in everything to practice faith and love just as the apostles taught the early church, as shown in scripture. So, each Sunday, we proclaim the death of Christ by sharing in the Lord's Supper. All ages can enjoy a cappella hymns and praise songs. You'll hear a message from the Bible that's relevant to living today. A well staffed nursery is availabe.

History
Established in 33

Since every person in Christ has been added to the church of Christ, we like to think of our roots as going all the way back to around 33 A.D., when the gospel was first preached (see Acts 2), and, "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day." We know more about that special time:

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

We follow Jesus, whatever He says.

We are not a building, but a family of about 525 members from all over the Tampa Bay area. You always have an open invitation to visit our family gatherings. No matter what your age or background, you'll find a place to grow.

Bay Area Church of Christ is known for love, friendliness, biblical focus, unity, diversity, prayerfulness, and joy. Members work together to help everyone increase their bible knowledge, grow in Christian service, and be spiritually transformed. This family is all about God's real purpose in your life right now.
