Vanguard Bible Church - Bakersfield (CA)

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!

Adam McElroy Preaching from John clear and bold from Hosea, sweet worship like 6-7 songs on a Wednesday night. Importantly my 7 year old had a really positive time in kids church. Kids church had a big turn out and great team serving. My 19 year old son liked the details and context. Teenage daughter “bored” but plenty of seeds sown, for us to pray over her heart. Lots of scripture and sound doctrine. We learned more about Cavalry Chapels roots in the 70’s through some YouTube Videos after. Goood night of Worship for us out-of-towners. Thank you Holy Spirit and Church family.

Sharlie Phillips My husband and I have been attending BLW regularly for over a year now, and I can say wholeheartedly, it is the BEST church I have ever attended. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed and made to feel comfortable. Our Pastors (Leonard and Valorie Mancini) are humble, but MIGHTY servants of the Lord. Their mission statement “Reaching, teaching, mending, and sending” is an ever present spirit in the congregation, as they meet each member where they are, and encourage us to dig deeper and draw closer in our walk with the Lord. BLW will forever hold a precious place in my heart. May God continue to bless and keep this beautiful ministry.

Lorraine Martinez Pastor dont hide around the Bush, what God has he explains 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.

Crystal Hall Valley Bible Fellowship is an amazing spiritual experience and you can learn so much about God and Lord Jesus Christ there. There are many great leaders inside and outside the church that serve the lord with their whole being. You can find small groups and there is a Bible study there on mondays plus they have a recovery meeting called set free. I even had the privilege of being a greeter on sundays as a volunteer. And to serve the lord in their street ministries outreach. It is truly a positive environment and if you are feeling down and out you simply go to church and someone will pray for you without a second thought in mind

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!

thomas shockley My family and I have been going to this church for awhile now and what a blessing it is. The teaching is 100% gospel centered. We open our bibles and study every Sunday. Midweek is great also for more deep study/discussion on doctrine. It truly does live up to its name in making disciples as we’ve been called to do! Members of the church are very loving and from all walks of life. Seeing Gods work in and through our church is absolutely amazing! Our kids also love the teaching and their teachers. Highly recommended for seasoned church goers looking to grow or for new comers (as I was). Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!
