Bidwell Presbyterian Church - Chico (CA)

Chris Brownlee Although mostly older Christians, the pastor, staff and congregation members will welcome you wholeheartedly. Although, in this age of identity theft and such, I cant (as yet) post things such as the friendly fellowship that goes on every Sunday (and other days of the week too), here is the most genuine love and concern for the visitor and newcomer I have come across in a "brick & mortar" church in my 30+ years as a "new creation". And the advantage of an older congregation is the years and years of practical experience LIVING the Gospel. Its more than book smarts here, its true Christian maturity. Although I "work" here, I speak from a position Timothy must have first felt when sent by the apostle Paul. I was one of the youngest here (other than the grandkids in Sunday school and Nursery), yet this church was like the flip-side of what the 1st century Tim encountered in his calling. These people are more like the Bereans of Acts, who thoroughly check that what anyone taught them was true to the scriptures (In fact, at BBF, this is actively encouraged!) If you live in or near Chico, California; are looking for a church of genuine, true-to-the-core FOLLOWERS of Christ, and like the traditional hymns and time tested songs of the faith, stop by any Sunday. Youll always feel welcome. The church is currently in transition, looking for a new pastor (health and age cause Pastor Cheney to retire). Please pray for our board to make a wise decision.

Lily Agape My fiancee (who grew up going to this Church) and I decided on going to their Midnight Mass service on Christmas Eve. It had been two decades since she was last there and it was my first time in an Anglican Church (I grew up Episcopalian). Things were a bit different than I was used to and being quite a bit different than most people (we are both Transgender) I was rather nervous about being there. Turned out I had nothing to fear, however - this Church is accepting of all people. My fiancee and I had a fantastic time and might even decide to go back someday.

David Stevens I consider this my Church. A very Family oriented congregation with Multi-denomanational attitude.

Kwade Conner I truly feel at home at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church. From the moment I walked in, I was met with genuine love, warmth, and kindness from everyone. The sense of community here is something special—it’s not just a church, it’s a family. What stands out most is how the Word of God is preached. It’s clear, powerful, and easy to understand—no personal opinions added, no watered-down messages. Every sermon is rooted directly in Scripture, presented exactly as God intended. That’s rare to find, and it’s what makes this church so impactful in my life. I’m incredibly thankful to be part of a church where truth is preached boldly, love is shared freely, and Christ is glorified in all things.

Gary Campbell They had me sold at coffee and donuts when you walk in, come as who you are. You dont need to dress up, I did the 10:00 a.m. Service and it was amazing.

Debra Matthews My heart ♥️

Tracey Loura Vera Great Food donations on every third Friday

Rebecca Wion Ridge Presbyterian Church/Vespers Chico is a welcoming and Jesus-centered church. We meet up in Paradise at 10:30 am and down in Chico at 4 pm. Solid biblical teaching and great childcare! Highly recommend.

Slick Pothead Great church, great people. Been to 15 churches in town so far and this in the top 3 if not top 1!!

Brianna Collins I absolutely love this church. My family and I have been attending for almost six years now. This church has become more like family through the years. I love the authentic messages Pastor Jose brings each week and the ability to stay connected throughout the week with small groups. I also love that I can trust the volunteers in the back of Kids Church with my children. As a mom of two littles , it’s important for me to feel like I trust people with my children who I know will care for them and teach them about Jesus !!
