At Bayou Sara Baptist Church, we believe ministry is about loving God and serving others. Jesus told us to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of Bayou Sara is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community and spreads to every nation. Bayou Sara members are involved in a variety of ministries. Join one of the several ministries on campus!

 

 

The Worship Ministry at Bayou Sara exists to glorify God through music and technology. From singing and playing instruments to running sound and media, this team works together to lead the church in worship each week.

Our Prayer Meeting takes place every Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM. This gathering is a special time for our church family to come together, pray for one another, lift up the needs of our community, and seek God’s direction for our lives and ministries. Our Prayer List is sent throughout our email chain and prayed over throughout the week.

We are also home to one of the largest food banks in South Alabama, ensuring that families in need are cared for and shown the love of Christ.
