There’s always a seat for you.

At Bay Area Christian Church, we believe that togetherness can make amazing things happen. Spiritual friendships empower us to discover God personally and experience spiritual formation. Our special events bring us together to build community and do good, no religious affiliation required.

Across our nine Bay Area campuses, you’ll find a wide variety of gatherings: weekly worship services, youth devotionals, holiday celebrations, service projects, and workshops geared towards specific life stages. All of our events are designed to be inclusive for people and families with special needs, so every event is a place where everyone belongs. Our events are open to the community; Whether you’re new to faith, exploring, or coming back after time away, there’s a seat for you.

Shared moments, lasting friendships

There’s nothing like hearing it from a friend. Read how our events have helped people across the Bay Area find connection, inspiration, and a place to belong.

From the beginning, people were intentional about welcoming me—not just with introductions, but by genuinely wanting to know me and include me.

Teen devotionals

Every week, we host devotionals that help teens discover their “why” in life through Scripture, friendship, and spiritual formation.

College nights and workshops

We host devotionals every Friday evening to help Bay Area college students build friendships, along with quarterly workshops to discover God’s personal vision for their lives to make social impact. In a rapidly-evolving Silicon Valley culture, we help students choose a path of significance and build a walk with God that sets them up to build a strong future.

Professionals’ meet-ups

Our professionals’ ministry hosts weekly meetups for those who are living the innovative, fast-paced, and exciting life of building a career in the Bay Area. From real conversations to relaxing weekend plans, the BACC professionals’ ministry is a great place to build spiritual friendships.

Women’s events

Our women’s ministry puts on an annual series of “Girls’ Night Out” events to inspire and empower women of all ages and life stages to live formed, God-reliant lives—at work, at home, and in the communities they shape.

Couples’ Night Out

Couples take a break from the noise of life to refresh and form their walk with God together and connect with other couples in similar life stages.

What time should I arrive?

Gates open at 10am, and the service begins at 11am. We recommend arriving by 10:30 so you have time to pass through the security line and find your seat before it starts.

How do I get there, and where do I park?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:28:35-07:00

How do I get there, and where do I park?

Shoreline Amphitheater is at One Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043. Parking attendants will guide you to a spot when you arrive.

From 101 South: Take Highway 101 South to EXIT #400A Rengstorff Avenue, turn right on Amphitheatre Pkwy, then left on Bill Graham Pkwy (the entrance to the amphitheatre).
From 101 North: Take Highway 101 North to EXIT #399A Shoreline Blvd, turn right on N Shoreline Boulevard, then left on Bill Graham Pkwy (the entrance to the amphitheatre).

How does the security checkpoint work?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:29:12-07:00

How does the security checkpoint work?

There is a security checkpoint at the main entrance. To move through faster, two “fast pass lanes” are available for:

Guests without bags
Families and individuals with disabilities
Elderly guests

Tip: If you leave picnic bags and coolers in the car until after the service, you’ll get through the line much faster.

What should I bring — and what should I leave in the car?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:30:15-07:00

What should I bring — and what should I leave in the car?

We recommend bringing some things with you for the morning service, and leaving other things in the car until it’s time for the picnic after church. This will help you move through the security lane faster.

Bring in the morning:

A refillable water bottle (there are water stations near the main entrance)
Folding chairs if you plan to use the sensory-friendly viewing area or stay for the picnic.

Leave in the car until after service:

Picnic bags and coolers. Keeping these in the car until the service ends helps the security line move quickly.

Is there food?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:30:29-07:00

Is there food?

Yes! Baby Oh’s Donuts & Coffee will be available for purchase in the morning, and food trucks open after the service for lunch. You are also welcome to bring your own picnic or potluck to enjoy afterward.

What’s available for kids?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:30:43-07:00

What’s available for kids?

During the service, children’s ministry is available for kids 4 years old and under. Spiritual Resource Ministry (SRM) — a sensory-friendly class led by volunteers trained to work with children with special needs — is also available during service. After the service, kids can enjoy the train ride, bounce castles, and games.

What accommodations are there for special needs and disabilities?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:31:32-07:00

What accommodations are there for special needs and disabilities?

We want everyone to experience our Shoreline service. Available accommodations include:

Fast pass security lane: Families and individuals with disabilities have a separate security line at the front entrance.
Spiritual Resource Ministry (SRM): A sensory-friendly class during the service, led by volunteers trained to support children with special needs.
Sensory-friendly viewing area: A quieter, less crowded space (on the upper lawn) where the service will be live-streamed. Bring folding chairs if you would like to sit in this area.

Do I need a ticket? Is it free?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:31:47-07:00

Do I need a ticket? Is it free?

Our Shoreline Service is free and open to everyone — no ticket required. If you’d like, you can let us know you’re coming so we can send you a resource email to help you prepare.

It’s outdoors — what about seating and weather?Mike Query2026-07-11T23:32:22-07:00

It’s outdoors — what about seating and weather?

Shoreline is an open-air amphitheatre. We recommend wearing layers and being prepared for some sun—bring sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Seating is general admission, and you can sit where you would like. If you would like to sit near people who live in your area or may be in your life stage, we created a recommended seating guide on our venue map. Attendants can help you find a spot.
