Located in the heart of Kern County’s oil country, the Taft Church of Christ serves this historic Western California community nestled in the foothills of the Temblor Range. Taft, with a population of approximately 9,000, maintains its small-town character while being conveniently positioned about 35 miles southwest of Bakersfield and 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
This oil boom town, established in the early 1900s, offers visitors a glimpse into California’s petroleum heritage through its historic downtown district and nearby oil fields that continue to dot the landscape. The community is known for its close-knit atmosphere, where neighbors know each other and local businesses have served families for generations.
The Church of Christ in Taft provides a spiritual home for both longtime residents and newcomers to the area, including families relocating for work in the oil industry, agriculture, or those seeking affordable living within reasonable distance of larger Central Valley cities. The congregation serves as part of the broader network of Churches of Christ throughout California’s Central Valley region.
Visitors to Taft will find a welcoming community surrounded by rolling hills and wide-open spaces, offering outdoor recreational opportunities and a slower pace of life. The church welcomes all who seek to worship and study God’s word together, whether you’re passing through, new to the area, or have called Taft home for years.
