RiverLakes Community Church - Bakersfield (CA)

K Ryan I have been a part of this church for over 10 years, and I can honestly say that my life has been transformed. Not just my life, but my family’s as well. If you are looking for a church to build a relationship with, and not just come and go without any connection, but if you are looking for a family to go, I should say “GROW”, through life with you… then this is the place you are looking for!!!

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.

Anyannete Love this church! Best one Ive ever been to. Everyone is very friendly and the priest is very honest and truthful in everything he says. Hes very relatable and doesnt try to hide anything. He makes it known that he isnt perfect, no one is. He tells you like it is and thats what I like about him. They do so many things for the community and people in need in general.also.

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!!

Doretha Jones Vanguard is a vibrant new church in Bakersfield, pastored by Cary Nack. From the first moment I heard Pastor Cary preach, I knew he was different from everyone I had experienced in 25 years of attending church. Pastor Cary’s sermons are full of content, historical context, present-day analogies, humor, and most importantly, life application. If you are looking for a Bible based church that studies God’s Word, with no apologies, with reverence, and a desire to grow your spiritual walk, then Vanguard should be at the forefront of your Sunday mornings.

Lora Covert Were not "church people", but this one is not like a normal, everyday, church weve been to! The people are so sweet, kind and caring without seeming to look down on us for how we live, and look! We have yet to attend a service here, and they know that and still offer to help with food baskets and clothes! They are amazing!
