Plan Your Visit2026-05-22T11:08:40-07:00

New here? Welcome!

We’d love for you to get to know us. Here’s everything you need to know before you visit one of our services.

Never been to church? Start here.

You don’t need a religious background to feel at home at BACC. Jesus came so that everyone could experience a real and satisfying life. Our teaching is designed to make the Bible accessible and relevant—no jargon, and no assumptions about what you already know. We simply explore Scripture together and discuss how it applies to real life in the Bay Area.

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or a longtime believer, you’ll find practical answers to life’s big questions.
