Visalia Christian Reformed Church is a thriving Christian community located in the heart of California’s

beautiful San Joaquin Valley. We boast both the genial warmth of a rural community and the amenities

of a midsized city with an ever-burgeoning downtown area. Visalia is the “Gateway to the Sierras” and

yet only a short drive from California’s Central Coast. To the north and south are the metropolitan

centers of San Francisco and Los Angeles as well.


As a Church, our mission is “To glorify God and to make disciples by grafting each person into gospel-shaped community.”
