first chinese baptist church fresno

For 120 years First Chinese Baptist Church has faithfully ministered to those of Asian heritage in Fresno. In 1882, Mrs. Frances Potter, a missionary and wife of the pastor of Fresno First Baptist, expressed her interest in the Chinese people and opened her home to them and taught different classes, especially English. In 1884, she founded the Chinese Baptist Christian Center. Today we are a diverse congregation reaching out to its neighborhood, the city and the world. Our Savior has blessed this fellowship throughout its history and we work together to make a difference in the lives of our families and city.

Our vision is to provide a place for every member to Worship, Fellowship, be Discipled, Discover his or her Ministry and/or Mission and to move out in Evangelism. As each believer acts on this vision our church continues to grow which enables us to make a difference in the Asian community, our city and the world.
