Join us for “Fellowship Meal” every 1st & 3rd Sabbath!

Looking for a school? Check out Bakersfield Adventist Academy!

At Bakersfield Central, we believe church and education go hand in hand. Through our partnership with Bakersfield Adventist Academy, families have the opportunity to grow in a Christ-centered environment where students are supported academically, spiritually, and socially by caring teachers and a connected community.

About Seventh-day Adventists®

We’re more than just a building, and bigger than our local congregation.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a worldwide family with nearly 22 million members spread across 212 countries and over 150,000 churches and other worship groups. Our rich, 160+-year history includes the establishment of almost 230 hospitals and sanitariums, and over 9,400 schools around the world, serving students from preschool through university. Acting on Christ’s commission that we share His love and compassion with the world, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), our global humanitarian arm, works in 120 countries, providing community development and disaster relief to over 25 million people to date.

There’s a place for you in this global family, too. Come be part of something bigger than yourself—a place comfortable enough to feel like home.
