At Balboa Baptist Church, outreach is the practice of looking beyond ourselves to the people around us and sharing the love of Christ as we serve and connect with our community. Scripture is full of outreach examples where there was a need, and God’s people got resourceful.
In April of 2018, Balboa Baptist Church officially opened the 23,000 square foot Outreach Center. We seek to offer our community a place to connect and socialize, as well as participate in a variety of activities and events. Whether your journey starts with an athletic offering, a concert, a special event, a class, a worship service, or any other activity throughout the year, we invite you to experience God's love through engaging in activities while meeting the people of Balboa Baptist Church and the Outreach Center. We are excited about the activities and opportunity to serve this great community.
