New Hope Fellowship - Chico (CA)

Troy Mattson I know people that drive from Durham and others that come from Corning just to join the loving people that meet in this building every Sunday morning and afternoon. They are always very welcoming and you know when you are there that they trying to be good examples of Jesus Christ. These good people would do anything to help anyone in need. They have a fantastic Boy Scout Troop that enjoys some excellent adventures. Something great for every member of the family.

TYSON Colton Great place! Definitely would come to church here again!

Renee Walti This is a church that really cares for people. Safe Space winter shelter is always welcome. This is caring for your fellow man.

Alfredo Romero Okay first I am the Pastor.... so here is my review... God just wants us to be real. No matter who we are at the moment, we just want to get past our past and strive for the life God has planned for us. We are a mixture of people from various backgrounds and the fellowship we have and the unity is because of our love for Jesus. Our brand is Gods love and Jesus is real and relevant and wants a daily active relationship with you. We believe in the absolute truth of Gods Word. Not a perfect Church but we serve a perfect God. Please feel free to visit and check out our website.

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.

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.

Nicole Maurer Celebrate Recovery has been a life changing experience in my life

beth hiemstra Very friendly congregation. Good worship music. Wonderful message shared by the Pastor. It was spot on with what I have been dealing with. I felt very much like God was speaking to me through the Pastors message.

ben lazzeroni From the moment I walked into Chico First, I felt genuinely welcomed. The community is warm, and it’s clear that the people here really care about one another. The worship is powerful and heartfelt, and the messages are both biblically grounded and incredibly relevant to everyday life. Highly recommend!

Frank Guiles I’ve seen amazing healings and testimony in my two years in the congregation. Melvin Hale is truly sent by god to spread the gospel and the good news of Jesus!!!! That church is amongst my closest experiences of connecting with God!!!!!
