Bay Presbyterian Church (PCA)

What Bay Presbyterian Church (PCA) does

Bay Presbyterian Church (PCA) is a non-profit, congregationally governed Christian church located at 26911 S Bay Dr, Bonita Springs, Florida, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America and grounded in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. Founded in 2005 as "Bay Fellowship" by Reverend Doctor John Anderson after receiving PCA Assessment Center approval, the church held its first Bible study on February 27, 2005, with 10 attendees in a living room before moving to the Trianon hotel meeting room and ultimately to the former Bonita Bay sales center building, which it uses at no cost. Current operations are led by Pastor Patrick J. Womack (Sunday preaching through the Gospel of Luke) and Dr. Greg Poland (Adult Sunday School via the Westminster Shorter Catechism), supported by 41 total staff.

The church's product surface centers on weekly worship services (Sundays at 10:00 AM), Adult Sunday School (9:00 AM), and a portfolio of Bible studies covering women's (Wednesday 10:00 AM), men's (Thursday 6:30 AM), and a Thursday evening adult Bible study (currently on summer break), alongside dedicated Women's and Men's ministries, a Missions outreach program, an online prayer request submission form, periodic faith-based Movie Nights, and a monthly newsletter. The technical stack is light: sermons are live-streamed and archived via the Sermon Audio broadcast platform (sermonaudio.com/broadcasters/baypres/), donations are processed online through PayPal (supporting Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover), and event RSVPs are handled through SignUpGenius, with the website itself operated on The Church Co platform.

The business model is donation-driven and typical of a 501(c)(3) house-of-worship: worship services and programs are free to attend, with revenue sourced from voluntary in-person offerings and online donations; the organization is governed by a board of elders rather than equity owners and discloses no financial figures publicly. The addressable constituency is the Bonita Springs community and online remote attendees, with no documented commercial customers, partnerships, or revenue contracts. The church does not publish revenue, holds no patents or trademarks, has no funding rounds, and reports no M&A or executive changes beyond the founding leadership transition.

Broad incumbents

• North Point Ministries: A large multi-site church organization with broadcast-style teaching and online presence; comparable as a broader evangelical teaching church that competes for digital sermon audience share.
• Watermark Community Church: Large Dallas-area evangelical church with teaching-focused programming and online distribution; comparable as a teaching-intensive church competing in the broader digitally distributed sermon market.
• Life.Church: National multi-site and online church platform; relevant peer because it competes for online sermon listeners, donors, and remote-attender attention that Bay Presbyterian reaches via Sermon Audio streaming.
• Church of the Highlands: One of the largest multi-site churches in the U.S. with extensive online distribution; comparable as a large evangelical teaching congregation competing for online sermon listenership and donor mindshare.
• McGregor Baptist Church: A large, well-established Baptist church in the Fort Myers/Bonita Springs region offering substantially broader programming (children, youth, multi-site) and a larger facility footprint, competing for the same Southwest Florida Christian household demographic.
• The Village Church: Multi-site Reformed-leaning evangelical church; relevant peer for theological positioning (Reformed-adjacent teaching) and for online sermon distribution reach to the same conservative Christian demographic.

Others

• SermonAudio: The online sermon broadcasting platform Bay Presbyterian uses to distribute live and archived services; an ecosystem enabler/partner rather than a competing congregation, but adjacent to its digital distribution model.

Direct peers

• First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Springs: Geographically proximate Presbyterian congregation in Bonita Springs serving the same demographic with overlapping worship, Bible study, and community programming — direct competitor for local Presbyterian-leaning members.
• Naples Community Church: An evangelical community church in nearby Naples offering comparable Sunday worship and Bible study programming to the same Southwest Florida seeker and believer population.
• Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA), Naples: A nearby Presbyterian Church in America congregation in the Naples/Bonita Springs region serving the same denominational niche (Westminster Confessional Reformed), comparable congregation size, and overlapping Southwest Florida member pool.
