Assessment

Bayside Church is a megachurch (18,000+ attendees) founded by Senior Pastor Ray Johnston. Multiple campuses including Granite Bay and Blue Oaks (Roseville). Teaching pastors include Curt Harlow and Andrew McCourt. Mark Clark leads Granite Bay campus. Megachurch model with multi-site campuses. Previously hosted Mark Driscoll (controversial). Large church size makes personal pastoral care and accountability difficult. Needs theological and cultural review of teaching content.
