Welcome to Bay Area Christian Church: Making God Known and Doing Good

Ray: Hi I’m Ray Kim.

Sam: And I’m Sam Manuel. We are the West and East Bay lead ministers of the bay area christian church.

Ray: If you’re new here, we want to say welcome. Whether you are searching for spiritual answers, spiritual formation, inclusion of special needs and disability, or ways to do good, you will find what you’re looking for here.

Sam: We’re the Bay Area Christian Church — an independent, non-denominational community with nine campuses across the Bay Area. We’re passionate about walking with God, making him known, and doing good. 

Ray: We believe that as each individual develops a personal walk with God, that will overflow into spiritually formative relationships and into doing good for our local communities. 

Sam: Our church is rooted in the desire to follow Jesus’s example of doing good wherever we go for whoever we interact with, no religious affiliation required. We do good because of who we are.

Ray: On Sundays you’ll find practical and inspiring biblical teaching for real life in the Bay Area. There’s singing, safe, fun classes for kids from 6 months through 5th grade, and a caring fellowship. We also have a Spiritual Resource Ministry, which provides inclusive classes and accommodations for people with special needs and disabilities. 

Sam: But we’re more than a Sunday service. Our community extends beyond Sundays — we also have small groups, personal Bible studies, spiritual formation, and mentorship. Whether you’re looking for a young professionals group, parenting support, or a place to explore faith at your own pace, there’s a group here for you.

Ray: We also believe a church should be a force for good in the world. From our annual Toy Drive to our partnerships with community organizations like E-Life — which creates inclusive programs for neurodiverse children to build relationships with their neurotypical peers — doing good isn’t a program or strategy. It is the natural overflow of spiritual transformation and an authentic effort to help those in need — no religious affiliation required. 

Sam: We also believe in the mentorship and spiritual formation of the next generation. As high school and college students are looking to find their “why” in life, we believe the spirituality of Jesus will give them the answers they’re looking for. If you are a teen, college student, young professional, or the parent of one, we have a place for you.

Ray: We’ve been part of this Bay Area community for over 30 years — and we’re still here because God keeps moving and lives keep changing. Come find out for yourself. Find a campus near you at bacc.cc. There’s a place for you here.
