Hey BFC Family!

In a world that is constantly changing, one of God’s greatest gifts remains the blessing of family. Family is more than people who share a home or a name; it is a sacred bond created by God to reflect His love, grace, and faithfulness.

Through family, we experience comfort in difficult times, celebration in joyful moments, and support when life’s burdens become heavy. Parents guide with wisdom, children bring laughter and hope, and each generation leaves a legacy of faith for the next. Even though no family is perfect, God’s presence has the power to strengthen relationships, heal wounds, and unite hearts.

The Bible reminds us that love is the foundation of a godly home. When families pray together, worship together, and serve together, they become a testimony of God’s goodness to the world. A Christ-centered family does not avoid challenges, but it faces them with faith, trusting that God’s grace is sufficient for every need.

As we approach Father’s Day, let us pause and thank God for the family He has given us. May we cherish one another, forgive freely, encourage often, and love deeply. As for our homes, may we declare with Joshua, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

I hope to see you this Sunday at 9:00AM as we worship together and have Donuts with Dad!

Children Matter To Jesus

Children are not merely the church of tomorrow; they are an important part of the church today. Throughout Scripture, God demonstrates His love and concern for children and calls His people to intentionally teach them His ways. Effective children’s ministry helps lay a spiritual foundation that can influence an entire lifetime.

One of the clearest biblical mandates for ministering to children is found in Deuteronomy 6:6-7, where God instructed His people: “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children.” This passage emphasizes the responsibility of passing faith from one generation to the next.

When churches invest in children, they are investing in future leaders, disciples, parents, and servants of Christ. More importantly, they are obeying God’s command to nurture young lives in the faith. Children’s ministry is not an optional program; it is a vital mission that reflects the heart of God and helps ensure that His truth continues to be known from generation to generation.

This Sunday - Wednesday we host Bay Family Church's first VBS from 5:30-7:30 PM! We want you to bring your children and grandchildren to hear about the love of God. Don't miss it!

Hello BFC!

Many people assume that visitors come to church because of advertising, social media, or special events. While those tools can help, research consistently shows that the most effective way people begin attending church is through a personal invitation from a friend or family member.

Studies conducted by church growth organizations have found that a large majority of first-time guests attend because someone they know personally invited them. In fact, surveys often indicate that between 70% and 80% of church visitors come as a result of a personal invitation. At the same time, many unchurched people say they would consider attending a church service if someone they trusted simply asked them.

What is surprising is that many Christians never extend that invitation. Some worry about being rejected or appearing pushy. Yet most people are not offended by a sincere invitation. Even if they decline, they often appreciate knowing that someone cares enough to include them.

Jesus frequently invited people to “come and see” for themselves. We can do the same. Inviting a friend to church is not about pressure; it is about offering an opportunity to experience God’s love, hear His Word, and connect with a community of faith.

A simple invitation, whether in person, by text message, or over coffee, can make an eternal difference. You may never know how God will use one conversation to change someone’s life.

Invite a friend to worship with us this Sunday at 9:00AM at Bay Family Church! I can’t wait to see you there!

Congratulations to all of our students, teachers, administrators, and staff for another successful school year! As summer begins, Summer Jam, VBS, camps, and weekly activities provide wonderful opportunities to share the love of Jesus with the next generation.

Scripture reminds us that each generation is called to pass down faith to the next. Young people are not just the future church, they are the church today. They need mentors who will encourage them, pray for them, and model authentic faith in a world searching for truth and purpose.

Ministry to the next generation often happens through simple acts of faithfulness: teaching, listening, leading small groups, attending events, or having meaningful conversations. God can use those moments to shape lives for eternity.

Please join me in praying for God to move in the lives of our Kids, Students, and Young Adults this summer, and ask how He may be calling you to serve the next generation for His glory.

Join me in praying for God to work in our Kids, Students, and Young Adults lives over the summer and ask God how He would have you serve the next generation for His glory.

I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Invite a friend!

Today at BFC we learned about the importance of memorials, as we studied about the memorial of stones that Joshua built to remind the world of the power and faithfulness of God.

Every believer ought to have some stones in their memory:
• “This is where God saved me”
• “This is where God healed me.”
• “This is where God saved my family.”
• “This is where God provided my need.”

“Don’t let the devil erase your memory of God’s goodness.”

Your scars are stones.
Your survival is a stone.
Your testimony is a stone shouting, “Look what the Lord has done!”

Everyone went home with a stone today to remind them of God’s faithfulness and the promise of all that God can do in generations to come.

Memories vs. Miracles

We often pray for miracles: breakthrough, healing, provision, open doors. And God still performs miracles. But many believers overlook another powerful gift from God: memory.

A miracle may happen in a moment, but a memory can strengthen you for a lifetime.

When Israel crossed the Jordan River, God told Joshua to set up memorial stones so future generations would remember what God had done. The stones were not the miracle, the crossing was. But the memory of the miracle became fuel for future faith.

Sometimes we think, “If God would just do another miracle, I could keep going.” Yet God often calls us to remember before He does something new. David remembered the lion and the bear before he faced Goliath. The disciples were rebuked because they forgot the loaves. Memory matters because remembrance builds confidence in God’s character.

Miracles show God’s power. Memories preserve God’s faithfulness.

When today feels uncertain, revisit the moments where God carried you, answered you, protected you, and sustained you. The memory of yesterday’s miracle can become the strength for today’s battle.

I hope you will choose to worship with us this Sunday at 9:00AM as we learn more about the power of memories from Joshua 4.
