Bay Leaf at 540

Come to 10921 Leesville Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613. Enter the campus between the Welcome flags at the entrance of Sycamore Creek Drive. Parking attendants will then direct you to a spot.

We advise getting to the parking lot about 15 minutes before the service begins. If you are checking in kids, plan to get to the parking lot about 20 minutes before the service begins.

You’ll be warmly greeted at the Welcome Tent, which is clearly marked with signage. If you have children, we will direct you to our kids check-in area.

Our service includes Biblical preaching and Christ-centered worship. After the service, we offer discussion-based small groups. This gives you a chance to make friends, learn together, and apply God’s truths to your life.

We want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome. We will not call on you or ask you to stand up or raise your hand. We do hope you’ll fill out a Connect Card so we can get to know you better, and can help you if you have questions. Come check us out for yourself!

The services are led by our pastors, and the preaching is live.

Come as you are! Jesus cares about your heart, not your clothing. We will be glad to see you.

Yes, and the leaders are looking forward to sharing the love of Jesus with them.

Birth through preschool: Our preschool ministry partners with parents to disciple and teach our children. On Sundays we grow through Bible-based activities, devotions, and singing.

If your child is in diapers or is potty training, please bring a diaper bag and a change of clothes. If your child needs a bottle or sippy cup, please bring that as well.

Our preschool is peanut-free. Unless parents specify otherwise, snacks are provided for toddlers and preschoolers. We offer cheerios, goldfish, and water. We also offer glazed donut holes on the 1st Sunday of each month in place of our traditional snacks. If your child has any allergy needs, please let us know.

Kids through high school: Older children, including students all the way through high school, also have a place to belong and to make friends. We believe in training by partnering with parents to reach, teach, and equip the next generation. We are committed to helping kids know what it means to follow Christ, know the Bible, know that God loves them, and know how they can be a disciple for Him. We love children and want the next generation to grow up loving and following Jesus!

We have multiple people and resources in place to ensure your child's safety, including an electronic check-in system with name tags and pick-up tags, as well as a greeting and security team. All volunteers, teachers, and staff are background checked and required to complete a MinistrySafe training program prior to serving our amazing children. Volunteers must also be members of Bay Leaf, go through a screening process, and complete a safe child commitment form.

Sunday Groups are for adults and students. They meet after our 10am worship service and are designed to help foster meaningful and accountable relationships, plus they provide an opportunity to review the sermon. Our group leaders will facilitate discussion so that you can apply the truths of Scripture to your everyday life. Preschool and elementary students will dive deeper into The Gospel Project for that week.

Stop by the Welcome Tent or follow this link to find Sunday Groups at Bay Leaf at 540 for you and your family.
