Welcome to St. Paul’s
St. Paul’s is a lively, traditional, welcoming congregation that is growing and building in downtown Bakersfield with the message of Jesus Christ at our center. We are dedicated to growing disciples of Jesus Christ as we manifest His love through worship, teaching, fellowship and outreach. As a family of diverse ages and backgrounds, we are intentional in building and encouraging relationships as we help each other grow into all God would have us be.
We are located one block north of Mercy Hospital at the corner of 17th and B Streets.

questions familiar. Come join us between the services for two Sundays, August 9th and 16th, as we take a short tour of Anglican Basics.
