Pastoral care

How does it work at Bayside?

It’s easy in a large church to feel lost or not connected. We aim to make a large church feel like a small church. We highly encourage every person who attends Bayside Church to attend a connect group. Pastoring takes place through our connect groups and at Bayside we have a variety of connect groups to suit every age and life stage. See our connect section for a full list of groups available.

There is a pastor allocated to every area at Bayside Church to help you get connected.

A connect group is the best way to make friends and receive the support you need.

In the event of an issue, problem or sickness, the Bible instructs the one who is unwell to call the elders of the church and they will come and anoint with him oil (James 5:14). Therefore we believe it is your responsibility to contact your pastoral oversight (Connect Group Leader in the first instance) and/or Department Head Leader if required and let them know if you are experiencing a difficulty.
