our story
Pastor Steven Yoes and Maya
The Birth of a God-sized dream . . .
Every church is first formed in the heart of God, and then he forms it in the heart of his people. In March of 2005, the Lord placed a desire in Pastor Steven Yoes and his wife Maya's heart to start Bay Area Community Church (BACC), a healthy, Bible-based, Spirit-empowered church in League City. We seek to live authentic Christianity with passion and humility. We rely on God's power and presence, not our own programs and techniques. And we seek to experiences and model forgiveness and grace to all who seek it through Jesus Christ. We have a simple conviction that most people are drawn to Jesus, but they often don't feel they can connect with His church. We want to change that!
Sadly today, many find the church to be arrogant, judgmental, sectarian and at times more about showbiz & tactics than authenticity and depth. BACC was birthed from a dream of living a humble and authentic, contemporary expression of biblical Christianity. That's why we are passionate about forming quality, committed relationships; vibrant, authentic worship; giving more to the community than we take; and humbly serving and demonstrating the life Jesus modeled. With these convictions at the heart of our DNA, we seek to impact the Bay Area, the Houston metro area and beyond.
Healthy & Growing . . .
Since our Grand Opening on Sept. 24, 2006, BACC is thriving and growing steadily week by week. With more than 500 people now actively attending and calling BACC home, our focus is always on filling people with God, not merely filling buildings with people! With this as our clear and guiding focus, we are actively seeking God’s direction as we look for a more permanent location that will include the purchase of land and a more permanent facility. Even then, connecting people to God--not buildings--will be our driving passion!
Your Role in the Story . . .
Since our inception, Bay Area Community Church has experienced God's amazing blessings. We regularly see lives tranformed as God works in miraculous ways to draw everyday, imperfect people to Himself and His incredible purpose for their lives. At BACC, we recognize that God has a specific plan and purpose for each person's life. That's why we're truly a church "for people like you." Everything we do is a reflection of our heart to help people of all economic, social and ethnic backgrounds to experience an ever-increasing love for Jesus Christ and for other people! Come live the dream with us! It will be the adventure of a life-time and a journey well worth taking!
