NICEVILLE, Fla. – The Church on Bayshore has grown from 500 in Sunday morning worship to more than 1,300 since James Ross was called as pastor in 2017. The reason for the growth, Ross says, is because the church shifted its focus to young families, and the church’s senior adults have supported that change.
