New Ladies Study Begins

This women’s study is designed to help each woman take her next step toward faith and maturity in Christ. Together, we will journey deeper into God’s Word and prayer, cultivating hearts that are rooted in Scripture and lives that reflect the love and truth of Jesus. Through consistent study, reflection, accountability, and community, we will learn not only to hear God’s Word but to live it out daily. Each study centers on the Sunday sermon Scripture, allowing us to revisit and dig deeper into what God has spoken through His Word. 


Hey Bayside Students! Summer’s coming, and so is one of the best weeks of the year! We’re heading back to Ridgecrest this July 13-17 for an unforgettable time of worship, friendship, and life-changing encounters with Jesus. 



This Year’s Theme is “The Good Shepherd.” We all need direction. Like sheep, we can wander, lose focus, or try to go our own way. But the good news is—we have a Good Shepherd who never lets us go. All week long, we’ll explore Psalm 23 and the story of David, the shepherd who became a king and wrote these timeless words about God’s faithful care. We’ll discover how Jesus:

  • Guides us when we feel lost
  • Restores us when we’re tired or hurt
  • Protects us when fear creeps in
  • Provides for us with overflowing grace
  • And calls us to follow Him into abundant life — now and forever

It’s more than just a camp theme — it’s a chance to truly know and trust the Shepherd who laid down His life for His sheep.


The cost is $374 per camper with a deposit of $125. To secure your student's spot, please pay the deposit by January 10. Payment can be paid online by clicking HERE . Select "Student Camp" from the drop-down options. Fundraising opportunities are available for the remaining balance. Don’t let cost be a reason why your student can’t go. Contact Sarah Sheik, Director of Student Discipleship, at ssheik@baysidebc.org with any questions or concerns. 


At Bayside, our mission is simple: to be and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Camp gives us a powerful space to live that out — to grow deeper in faith, build lasting friendships, and encounter the presence of God together. Let’s follow the Shepherd’s voice this summer and see where He leads.
