Our Heritage
Bayside Christian Church commenced in 1940 as an outreach from the Maryborough Assembly of God church in Urangan. The church grew steadily in the first 25 years then relocated to Pialba in 1964. The church then moved into a new and larger facility at its present location on Neils St, Pialba in 1979
During the 80's and 90's, the church continued to grow as the Hervey Bay area rapidly expanded
In October 2001, Pastor Ross & Mary-Lyn Davie and family moved from the Sunshine Coast to become the senior pastors. Since then, Bayside has grown to become a healthy and vibrant regional church with over 500 adults and children now calling Bayside their spiritual home
Australian Christian Churches
Bayside Christian Church is affiliated with the Australian Christian Churches (ACC), formerly known as the Assemblies of God in Australia. This movement of churches was commenced in 1937 in Australia and has now grown to over 1100 churches
In our church, you will find vibrant and contemporary Christians who love the Lord Jesus Christ, express that love in lively praise and worship and in caring relationships. Australian Christian Churches are Bible-believing, Pentecostal and Evangelistic. They believe in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit and desire to show the fruit of the Spirit in their lives
