God shines on this place. You can see and feel it as soon as you walk through the doors. Turned this former atheist into a believer in 2016!

Great church to attend. If you enjoy the feel of a large church with many group activities this is the place for you.

VBC has done culture a great service in acquiring the Olive Drive Church campus saving it from demolition by a shopping mall developer. It's a major cultural landmark with a world class organ and is host to frequent musical performances along with its weekly service as a house of worship. read more

Awesome Pastors and the Best Worship Music! Lots of different volunteer options. Come see us at VBF Main Campus E Brundage

Came here for the first time tonight with my husband, Sunday night service at 6pm, we where both presently surprised! We both didnt know what to expect but because its a big mega church i guess we both assumed it was gonna feel more like a show and impersonal then a personal church service. It was both a personal service and personal show actually, the "show" was a live band and there lyrics where so touching and up lifting , the lyrics spoke to me in high volumes and it was amazing. The lyrics themselves was its own message. Anyhow before service started a member came up to us and offered my husband a burrito , his wife made a batch and he brought them to share , he told us that God spoke to him and told him to come over to us and offer us a burrito, funny thing is my husband had not yet eaten dinner and was getting "hangry" ( hungry and angry) when your hungry you loose focus and cant concentrate that well & knowing my husband he would have been in la la land the entire service probably just thinking about food and not really soaking the word in and getting the most outta it, if it hadnt been for God speaking to that nice man to offer him a burrito ! It was just a moment we both knew was amazing , as funny as that may sound :) because God works in the most strangest ways sometimes... the main message was about having a strong foundation in life and for yourself in general and the strong foundation being God, without getting into to much personal details that message hit home HARD for me and my husband. I cried , I laughed, I felt the positivity fill up in my soul, for sure felt the presence in that church and we are in love with it all, we havnt been to any church in a few years and we both just got that feeling deep down inside , when you get that strong gut feeling and you just know this was meant to be, this is where we are supposed to be. The people are really friendly and non pressuring , there is a verity of different people and races, very diverse. We both felt comfortable and at home here and we look forward to coming back next Sunday night. If your looking for a church I highly suggest this one. Such a moving experience. never judge a book by its cover! read more

See all

Ron Vietti has made this church an icon Christian hub in Bako but it's online so you can watch from the comfort of your own quiet house or while on vacation if you are not in Bakersfield on Sunday. read more

I have only been to this church once since it is so far away. If I lived closer this would be my home church. I love Pastor Ron Vietti's teaching. Great worship, service, and really kind church body. If you live in the area and don't have a home church - GO THERE NOW!!!! Wish I could :) read more

Great church, pastor Ron and Jim are awesome speakers. We only go to the Wednesday service and attend New Life Church SW on Sunday's. We love to switch it up like that, we feel we get the best of two and since NLC doesn't offer Wednesday services makes our decision to attend this church easier on us although its further to where we live but we don't mind. My kids love the Junior High group and they always want to attend, even when dad and mom come home tired from work. Everyone at this church is nice and they make you feel right at home. It's consider a big church but it doesn't feel that way to us. Hope who's reading this will give this church a fair chance. read more

Valley Bible Fellowship - Come as you are! - Churches Near Me - Bakersfield, California

VBF has been our home church for about 15 years now, and everything about the place is wonderful. Pay no attention to the negative review. Once in awhile Pastor Ron will go off on a tangent during one of his sermons, but he ALWAYS keeps it biblically centered. He's human, but he's a man of God. If you like it when preachers sugarcoat their message to appeal to those who get offended or triggered easily, then maybe VBF isn't for you. If you have a problem with preachers speaking from the Bible and sticking to God's word, then maybe VBF isn't the church for you. But I can tell you, any criticisms of Ron or any other leader are completely unfounded. Plenty of people have tattoos... even some of the leaders in the church. And as far as his politics go, why should you care?? The only thing he ever says is to make your political choices based on what it says in the scripture, and to pray for ALL your political leaders. VBF is full of good people who always treat you like family. read more

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE PASTOR RON VEITTI & VALLEY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP! I was raised Catholic, & when I reached my teenage years, I didn't go to church anymore. I was always too busy with school & my job:( Anyway, now I am in my 40's & my Fiance & I decided to start going to church again. My fiance was raised Presbyterian, and said he always enjoyed it, but stopped going because he said he didn't have time. Anyway, We BOTH really enjoy coming here, & actually get excited to go to church on Sundays! Thank you Pastor Ron! You are an AMAZING PASTOR!!! Keep up the good work! God Bless You! read more
