Here at First Pres, one of our core values is to “Bless the World”. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus tells His followers to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Through prayer, participation, and financial support, we participate in the Kingdom of God here in Bakersfield, across the U.S., and around the world. We support the missionary work of great people and organizations that are sharing the Gospel and helping the hurting.
We have embraced this vision for our church and participate in this ministry of Blessing the World by focusing in on three areas: locally, nationally, and internationally.
Our local ministry focus is our FP Food Pantry. Our food pantry coordinator leads a trained team of allies to come alongside those looking for food assistance. We strive to share Christ’s love through meeting physical needs, but also spiritually, through prayer and encouragement. Our aim is to be available to walk alongside our guests, providing friendship, accountability, and love.
