Reedley Mennonite Brethren Church is a vibrant, growing church that has been part of the Reedley community for over 100 years. Located near Fresno California, the church was started in 1905 by immigrant farming people. The congregation of over 1200 now includes people from many walks of life. Together we are becoming a close family of believers who desire to honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We teach the Bible, acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We exist to equip
and establish believers by teaching them to trust Christ on a daily basis and to
serve Him through personal obedience and by loving one another. As a church we are
committed to teaching the principles of the Bible, which enables us to have direction
and fulfillment in our lives, in our jobs, and in our homes. We are a family of believers
working to honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We are committed to worshipping God, “in Spirit and in truth,” (John 4:24). We are committed to reaching the world for Christ and to helping people understand that God so loved the world that, “He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). We welcome and encourage you to participate in our fellowship.

Mennonite Brethren have their roots in the Anabaptist-Mennonite movement of sixteenth century Europe. Anabaptists regarded their confessional statements simply as a public testimony of what they believed, based on the Word of God. Confessions are used as an outline for instruction, church polity and discipline.
We exist to celebrate God’s love, make disciples of Jesus Christ, and demonstrate Christ’s love in service to others.
