Welcome to Praise Center
We’re so glad you’re here! Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for a church to call home, we want you to know
You belong here.
At Praise Center of Bakersfield, we believe in the Holy Trinity, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the authority of the Bible. We stand firm on the power of prayer and the importance of living out our faith in our everyday lives.
More than just a church, we are a family built on love, grace, and truth:
We LOVE everyone.
We ACCEPT everyone.
We FORGIVE everyone.
And we JUDGE no one.
We are a Christ-centered, Spirit-led community committed to loving God, serving others, and transforming lives. Our heart is to see every person walk in purpose, grow in faith, and experience the life-changing power of God’s presence.
Together, we are building something greater for the Kingdom.
Welcome home—there’s a place for you at Praise Center!
