Bayside Community Church

Bayside Community Church is a non-denominational church based in Bradenton, Florida, on the Gulf Coast south of Tampa. Randy Bezet and his wife Amy planted it on September 8, 2002, holding early services in Bashaw Elementary School. The church has since grown to eight campuses with attendance over 13,000. Bezet serves on the board of the Association of Related Churches, founded the Relate Network for pastors, and launched SEU Bayside, a regional campus of Southeastern University, giving the church influence well beyond its own weekend services.

Bayside Community is active on all four major platforms, earning a perfect 100 breadth score, with 119,178 combined followers. Facebook is the largest audience at 76,000 followers. Instagram adds 23,266 on the mybaysidechurch handle, and YouTube counts 19,600 subscribers on @BaysideCommunityChurch, up a strong 20.25 percent over the past year with content published as recently as June 8. TikTok is live but tiny at 312 followers.

Bayside Community closes out this band with a balanced and improving profile: 44.3 velocity, 100 breadth, and a 30 reach score that understates a 13,000-person church. The 20 percent YouTube growth is the number to watch, since it is more than double the rate of most churches with larger channels. The four-platform footprint is technically complete, but the 312-follower TikTok account is a placeholder, not a strategy. The ARC network gives Bezet access to the playbooks of the fastest-growing churches in the country. Applying that same multiplication instinct to short-form video is the clearest path up the rankings.
