Providence Reformed Church

About this church

Providence Reformed Church worships Sundays from 3:00 to about 4:30 p.m. on the campus of St. John’s Lutheran Church at 4500 Buena Vista Road in Bakersfield. A-frame signs mark where the congregation meets. Worship is traditional but not highly formal, with hymns and Psalms accompanied by piano, extensive use of Scripture, prayer, and the Lord’s Supper once each month. The afternoon schedule distinguishes Providence from most nearby Sunday-morning congregations.

The church belongs to the Presbyterian Church in America and summarizes its convictions through the Reformation themes of grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone, Scripture alone, and God’s glory alone. Midweek prayer and an Intersect Bible study meet online through Microsoft Teams, with links available by contacting the church. A sermon library lets prospective visitors evaluate the congregation’s confessional preaching before attending. For a first visit, the host-campus detail matters: use the Buena Vista Road address rather than the older directory address, look for temporary signage, and arrive for the 3:00 service. Those interested in weekday study should request access rather than expecting an open public meeting link.
