Our goal is to help people take their next step toward worshipping God and loving people.

Get to know us!

Starting with a small mission team of 23 people in October of 1962, the Ojai Valley Baptist Mission was launched with the help of some local Southern Baptist partners. Just a short time after, in January of 1965, the mission was able to purchase a property and officially become Ojai Valley Baptist Church with 54 members.

For the last 60 years, there has been a deep and rich history of people living as the family of God, on mission for His kingdom.
