History
The story of Everstead Baptist Church.
Our Church
Everstead Baptist Church is an independent Baptist church in Patterson, California. Our desire is to share the gospel, teach the Scriptures, and encourage people to live for Jesus Christ.
Bible preaching, uplifting music, and a warm welcome are at the heart of our church life.
Our Story
Everstead began in 1998, when six families gathered in a rented community room in Patterson with a shared desire for a Bible-preaching church. Folding chairs, a borrowed piano, and a small table served as the furnishings for those first Sunday services. By 2003, the congregation had moved into its first permanent meeting place. Volunteers painted classrooms, built shelves, and prepared a nursery. A neighborhood bus outreach began in 2007, followed by a Spanish Bible class in 2012. In 2018, Everstead celebrated twenty years with a homecoming service and a renewed commitment to missions. Today, the church’s story continues through Bible teaching, family ministries, and its Uganda missions emphasis.
