Type “bayside service times” into a search bar and the results can look like they belong to one organization. They do not. At least two large churches use the Bayside name, they run campuses in different regions, and their weekend schedules overlap in a few places while diverging in others. That is how a quick glance at a search result can send you to the wrong building at the wrong hour.
This guide lays out the service times each Bayside organization publishes, flags the places where published listings disagree with each other, and explains how to confirm a schedule before you drive anywhere.
Why One Search Returns Several Bayside Churches
Bayside is a popular name for a congregation because it describes a location. Churches near a bay, a bayfront road, or a neighborhood called Bayside tend to adopt it. The result is a cluster of unrelated organizations sharing a single word in their name, each with its own campus structure, its own weekend rhythm, and its own website.
The two organizations covered here are the ones that dominate search results. Bayside Church publishes service times for its Granite Bay and Blue Oaks campuses. Bayside Community Church is a separate multi-campus church serving Manatee, Sarasota, Hardee and Hillsborough counties, with weekend locations that include a Lakewood Ranch campus and a Fruitville campus.
A third group matters for readers of this site. If you live in Bayside, Queens, neither of the schedules above belongs to a congregation in your neighborhood. Local churches in Queens publish their own times, and the sections below explain how to track those down.
Bayside Church Weekend Service Times
Bayside Church gathers every weekend and gives attendees more than one time slot to choose from. The exact lineup depends on the campus. Granite Bay runs both a Saturday evening option and a full Sunday slate, while Blue Oaks keeps its weekend services on Sunday morning.
Bayside Granite Bay
The published Granite Bay schedule lists Saturday services at 4:15 pm and 6:00 pm, followed by Sunday services at 8:15 am, 9:45 am, 11:30 am and 7:00 pm. That gives the campus six weekend opportunities spread across two days, including an evening option on both Saturday and Sunday for anyone whose mornings are committed.
Bayside Blue Oaks
Blue Oaks meets every weekend and offers three service times to choose from, all on Sunday: 8:15 am, 9:45 am and 11:30 am. Kids ministry is available at those times, and the published listing notes that it serves children from 2 months and up. No Saturday service appears in the Blue Oaks listing.
Where Bayside Listings Disagree
Here is the part worth paying attention to. Different sources publish slightly different Saturday times for the Bayside Church organization. One Bayside listing shows a single Saturday service at 5:00 pm alongside Sunday times of 8:15 am, 9:45 am, 11:30 am and 7:00 pm. The Granite Bay listing shows Saturday at 4:15 pm and 6:00 pm. A separate directory entry shows Saturday at 4:45 pm.
These are not huge gaps, but they are enough to matter if you arrive at 4:15 pm for a service that actually starts later, or if you assume a second Saturday option exists when it does not. Treat any third-party listing as a starting point and confirm against the campus page itself.
Bayside Community Church Service Times
Bayside Community Church is a multi-campus congregation serving Manatee, Sarasota, Hardee and Hillsborough counties in Florida. Its weekends follow a consistent pattern: three Sunday morning services at each published campus, with all three offering the same experience.
Lakewood Ranch Campus
The Lakewood Ranch campus holds Sunday services at 8:15 a.m., 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Its weekend address is 15800 SR 64 E, Bradenton, FL 34212. Campus office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the published phone number is (941) 755-8600 for anyone who wants to confirm details before visiting.
Fruitville Campus
The Fruitville campus follows the same Sunday rhythm: 8:15 a.m., 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Online services stream at those same three times, so attendees who cannot travel in person can join at the hour that fits their morning. The published campus notes state that all service times deliver the same experience, with communion observed together on Good Friday and Saturday.
Online Services and Staying Connected
Bayside Community Church keeps a mobile app that bundles groups, sermon messages, next steps, giving, event listings, and a place to connect. For anyone testing a new congregation before committing to a drive, the online service and app content offer a low-pressure way to see what a weekend looks like.
Bayside Service Times at a Glance
The table below summarizes what each organization publishes. Where a Saturday service is not part of the schedule, it is marked as not listed rather than assumed.

How to Confirm a Service Time Before You Leave Home
Schedules shift for holidays, weather, building projects and special events. A listing that was accurate last season may be stale today. A few habits keep you from showing up to an empty parking lot.
- Go to the campus page, not the main homepage. Multi-campus churches often post a general weekend pattern on the homepage and precise times on the individual campus page.
- Compare the campus page against any directory or social media listing. Where the two disagree, trust the campus page.
- Call the office during weekday business hours if a phone number is published. Bayside Community Church lists (941) 755-8600 and office hours of Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Check for an online service stream. If the in-person time turns out to be wrong, an online option running at a published hour can still save the morning.
- Ask about holiday weekends specifically. Communion services and special observances can move a normal weekend schedule.
What to Expect on a First Visit
Published campus notes for the Bayside organizations emphasize consistency. Bayside Community Church states that all service times carry the same experience, so choosing 8:15 a.m. over 11:45 a.m. does not mean a shorter or thinner service. Blue Oaks describes three service times with the same structure and notes kids ministry availability at each.
For families, the practical question is usually children’s programming rather than the sermon slot. Confirm that kids ministry runs at the specific hour you plan to attend, since availability is listed per service time. Arriving a little early gives you room to find parking, check in children, and settle in without walking in mid-service.
If You Are Searching Near Bayside, Queens
None of the schedules in this guide belongs to a congregation in Bayside, Queens. They are published by churches with Bayside in their name that operate elsewhere, which is exactly why the search results can feel mismatched to a neighborhood query.
For a Queens congregation, work from the source. Visit the church’s own website and look for a worship times or visit page, check the current weekly bulletin if one is posted, or call the parish office during weekday hours. Neighborhood congregations often publish their times in a bulletin, a signboard, or a social post rather than a search-optimized page, so a phone call remains the fastest way to get a straight answer.
