We have incredible children’s programs because kids are a priority at Bakersfield First Church. There are specific children and student programs offered for Nursery – 6th Graders.
All these programs have a check-in and check-out system for your child’s safety. If you would rather bring your children into the adult worship service with you, please feel free to do so. You’re also welcome to join your child in their specific program and experience first-hand the fun environment for active learning in our Kid’s Ministry.

Know Us
Serving Bakersfield since
1905
Bakersfield First Church of the Nazarene has been a part of Bakersfield since 1905. We are not a building or a name, but a growing community of people seeking to know God in a real way and committed to making difference in our neighborhood, Bakersfield, and around the world.
We believe that church should be a place where anyone, regardless of background or beliefs, can come investigate and experience who God is. You are invited to join us Sunday morning for our worship service at 10:30 am.
We have a casual, unpretentious atmosphere, friendly, real people, upbeat music and safe, fun programs for children and students. Please feel free to e-mail our lead pastor Jon directly at jon@bfcnaz.org if you have any questions.
