Mission & Vision

Our mission is to reach people with the Word of God, leading them in becoming fully devoted followers of Christ. That’s how we make a difference in people’s lives which in turn impacts our community and motivates us as we go into all the world.

Our hope at Calvary Chapel Bakersfield is to make a lasting difference in your life, in our community and around the world.

You matter to God and your life has purpose and meaning. We want to help you connect with God and assist you in discovering who God created you to be. We want to be there along side you on your journey of faith, to assist you in both finding and taking that next step. For some it’s receiving God’s forgiveness and finding new life in Jesus Christ. For others it’s discovering your unique giftedness and calling. For all of us its about growing in community, sharing life together, giving and serving as we meet regularly. 

Life is a tapestry of highs and lows, laughter and tears and you don’t have to go it alone. As you discover a Connect Group or other small group ministry to plug into you will begin to make new friends with people who genuinely care about you. Together you can grow, serve, and share with one another on this journey we call life.

One thing every strong family has in common is a solid foundation. We are here to partner with parents to help reach and raise up the next generation of fully devoted followers of Christ. Besides Sunday mornings we offer opportunities throughout the week for children and teens to gather and grow together in both their relationship with God and each other.

Besides being our purpose, our passion in life is to see people come to know the love and forgiveness of God found in Jesus Christ wherever the Lord leads us to go. We are committed to sharing the Word of God along with the love of God to people in crisis in tangible ways. We enjoy partnering with established organizations and individuals who share our vision for our community and the world.
