20 Reasons to Volunteer

The purpose of Bayside Local Outreach is to mobilize the gifts, abilities, and availability of people at Bayside to unleash compassion to our community and region.

Matthew 25:40 says, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ "

Walking humbly with our God is the reason we love and care for other people. God has been so good to us; the natural response is to thank him in return, by helping others.
