Life is not easy.  When we look around at our neighbors, our co-workers, and even within our own families, we see people who hurt.  We find that we are often surrounded by people with real problems.  When Jesus was on this earth, these were the same people who he tended to surround Himself with.

At Madera Baptist Church we also have a heart for hurting people.  We recognize that we should follow Jesus’ example and minister to the ones around us.  We are confident that you will not find a more caring, loving church.  Although known for being a warm, loving church, our number one desire is to be faithful and obedient to our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Can real people with real problems come together to worship, fellowship, and work together?  You bet!!  In Philippians 3:12-14, Paul compared his life to running a race.  Paul had the right idea when he wrote, “I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”.  If you need support and encouragement as you run your race, we would love to have you join with us.

Madera Baptist Church began in 1957 under the care of Pastor Lyndell Kuns.  The church celebrated it’s 50th anniversary (1957-2007) on April 1, 2007.

Currently, Madera Baptist Church is pastored by Peter Austel and is a part of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC) as well as the California Association of Regular Baptist Churches (CARBC).

Our desire and prayer is that when you are with us, you will sense the presence of the Lord and enjoy the uniqueness of our fellowship in Christ. Please take a look at the rest of our website for our service times, ministries and contact information. We look forward to worshiping with you soon!
