Fall Worship Night

As the season turns and the year begins to wind toward its close, we're pausing together, as one church across three campuses, to give thanks for all that God has done. Scripture calls us again and again to remember and recount His faithfulness, to let gratitude shape not just our words but our posture before Him. Gratitude isn't a footnote to worship, it's often the doorway into it. This Fall Worship Night, we're setting aside an evening to do exactly that, and whatever your year has held, there's a place for you here. Join us at any of our campuses. Lakeshore - Kid's programming provided Westchase - Preceded by a Friendsgiving meal, Kid's programming Land O' Lakes - At Ballantrae Community Club House (17611 Mentmore Blvd, Land O' Lakes, FL 34638) Come as you are. Bring your family, your friends, your neighbors. Let's give thanks together.

Night of Hope 2026

Night of Hope is a gathering for those who have experienced the passing of a loved one. Setting aside time during the holidays to honor our loved ones provides a special time of memory. Together, we will experience a time of reflection, worship and Pastor Matthew will share a message with communion. Our time together will conclude with a reception in the lobby. Join us in person at our Lakeshore Campus or Livestream at Bayhope.tv. You're encouraged to send a picture of your loved one for the Memorial Montage no later than 12/3 to sleatherwood@bayhope.com. Please include their name as well as birth and death dates. Children's Program This special program, provided by Suncoast Kids Place, offers a safe, supportive space for kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade. While the adults attend their program, your children will be with trained facilitators who will guide them through activities designed to help them share stories about their person(s) who died and connect with other kids who understand their experience. We believe finding others who "get it" is one of the most comforting steps on this journey.
