Our Pastor

Pastor Chris Schneider serves as the Senior Pastor of Bayside Baptist Church. He accepted Christ at the age of eight and felt called to preach the Gospel at 19. Pastor Schneider met his wife, Andrea, at church, and they were married in 1999. Together, they have faithfully served in ministry since the beginning of their marriage.

With experience pastoring two churches prior to Bayside, Pastor Schneider brings a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to his role. He is deeply committed to reaching Eastern North Carolina and beyond through missions and local community outreach.

In addition to his pastoral duties, Pastor Schneider enjoys spending time with his family, hunting, and visiting the mountains of North Carolina. He and Andrea are blessed with two children, Elijah and Miranda.
