First Orthodox Missionary Baptist Church Founded in California
Sixty five years ago Dust Bowl evacuees arrived in California seeking faith and refuge. They formed the First Orthodox Missionary Baptist Church later known as Shafter First Southern Baptist Church, the state’s first Southern Baptist congregation. The California Southern Baptist Convention grew to over 1900 churches with the Golden Gate Theological Seminary and California Baptist University presence in the region.

We Must Fight Our Real Enemies in America Now
A Shafter reader writes a broad moral appeal urging revival of core values, condemning drugs, premarital sex, and violence while blaming a drift from faith. The letter calls for community action, church involvement, and citizens to join God’s army, volunteer, and reclaim standards amid social decay. It warns of unseen enemies eroding freedom and asks for courageous volunteers.
