Chester Avenue Community Church - Bakersfield (CA)

Deacon David Rodriguez Beautiful Catholic church and the grounds are well kept. Office Manager is great and easy to work with. The Priest is the best and brings a lot to the church. Saturday evening Mass @ 5:30 Sunday Mass at 7:30, 9:30 & 11:30

Al Maria We have been looking for years for our family church, we came to this one several years ago but for some reason we didnt stay, recently my neighbors told us about this new priest who had came and was amazing and brought the community together, we then decided to give this church another opportunity and it was the best decision! We have been coming to mass every Sunday and we gladly participate on every event there is! It is absolutely true that a priest will motivate people to come to church as well as bring communities together !! Padre Juan Manuel Flores is amazing!

Allison Martin Our family absolutely loves The Bridge Bible Church! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and at home. Our kids are safe and thriving in the incredible Kids Ministry program—it’s clear that the team genuinely loves and cares for every child. Beyond that, we’ve been able to connect in such meaningful ways. I’ve found so much encouragement and support through the Mom’s group, men’s and women’s groups as well as a couples’ small group. This church has been instrumental in helping us build an intimate and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s been life-changing to find a place where we can grow in our faith while experiencing deep fellowship, a strong sense of community, and friendships that feel like family. If you’re looking for a church where you can truly feel at home and draw closer to Christ, The Bridge is the an amazing place!

OI M From the moment we drove in, we felt welcomed. From the welcome committee showing their kindness and love, making one feel welcomed. Showing the joy they have to serve our Lord and SaviorJESUS CHRIST. Not just going through the motions but being genuine. The staff inside, also pleasant and answering any questions with a smile. Now for Pastor Brandon...... I cant say anything but WOW. The way he explained the word of GOD, tying it with the current events and state of the world is like no other Pastor weve heard. Says it the way it is, not holding back to please anyone. Definitely wont have your ears tickled here with a soft and compromising message but a true conviction with the word of GOD. IF you are willing/wanting to grow in the Lord this is DEFINITELY where you want to come. My wife and I do NOT regret coming. WE LOVE IT!!

Jacob Hutton I was invited to be the guest speaker at a ministry this month. I really enjoyed the group of people and felt very welcomed even though I was a little late finding the place.

Lili Rodriguez I’ve been growing and learning in this church for over 33 years. My children grew up here as well. Gods word is spoken and read each Sunday with eloquence and love. I am thankful for the inerrant word of God taught here. This is my home church and it’s members my family. Come and worship with me as your spirit is lifted and renewed as we sing praise to the one who saved us from eternal death.

Jacy Stevens This church helped save my marriage and by doing so kept my family together. They paid my rent, my bills, and my husband’s sober living costs when we were in a very tough situation. My husband has been sober for almost two years now. The community at this church are truly the hands and feet of Jesus. Come check it out and let them love on you.

Kaitlyn Ackenback Great youth that desires and seeks God. Gets you connected really quick. I always look forward to Youth nights every Friday at 7pm in the sanctuary! I have made so many friends and great fellowships ever since I came!

Arina Satiani I love this church. Our family have been part of St Johns family for more than 7 years. A big church, but it feels like a home. The church has been helping me, personally, to grow.
