Assessment

Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village, Ohio (Cleveland metro) is a large EPC congregation led by Lead Pastor Mark Tumney. The church offers two Sunday services (9 and 11 AM) plus active programs for children, adults, men, women, students, those with disabilities, a preschool, and missions work. Strong social media presence across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. As an EPC church, the denomination affirms the Westminster Confession and essentials of the Reformed faith. The standard EPC caveat on women-elder policy (varies by presbytery) applies — verify the Midwest Presbytery stance and the local elder board composition. Solid green-eligible option for the Cleveland west suburbs.
