Where Christ is CENTRAL to our Faith
Where the Bible is CENTRAL to our Teaching
Where You are CENTRAL to our Fellowship
Life is full of questions and problems. We as a church are seeking to find answers and solutions through the word of God and the work of God. We offer opportunities of worship, study of Gods word, and ways to express God love to those who need it.
As the community has changed, so have we! We offer services in three languages: English, Spanish, and lu-Mien. While we are diverse in our language offerings, we are one in our commitment to God and His word.
We are a loving family who believes in community and caring for others. If you do not have a church home, we would love to have you consider us.

The Legacy of Central International Fellowship:
A Journey of Faith, Service, and Global Impact
Founded with a heart for mission and outreach, Central International Fellowship has been a beacon of faith and community for decades. From its humble beginnings, the church was one of the pioneering congregations that helped establish the Union Gospel Mission, marking the start of a legacy committed to spreading the Gospel and serving the marginalized.
In the years that followed, the church’s influence continued to grow, planting five churches throughout Northern California, ensuring that the message of hope reached more communities. Central International Fellowship has also sent numerous missionaries into the mission field, expanding the church’s global reach and deepening its impact.
A strong advocate for leadership development, the church has ordained several men for ministry, equipping them to lead and serve in various capacities. It also began the Child Evangelism movement in Northern California, igniting a passion for reaching the next generation with the love of Christ.
Beyond local ministry, Central International Fellowship played an instrumental role in establishing the first World Vision office in Northern California, working to meet the needs of the global poor. In addition, the church has been an active partner in efforts such as the printing of the first Mien Bible, ensuring that more people could read and understand the Word of God in their own language.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable aspects of Central International Fellowship’s history has been its commitment to cultural and linguistic diversity. In the 1950s, the church shared its facilities with a Chinese congregation, a precursor to its ongoing dedication to unity across cultural lines. Today, the church celebrates its multi-lingual heritage with English, Spanish, and Mien services, reflecting the diversity and inclusivity that have always been at its core.
Through the years, Central International Fellowship has not only been a spiritual home but a driving force for change and outreach, both locally and globally. Its enduring legacy continues to inspire, serve, and bring people together in the name of Christ.

Our Message
1. God loves you and wants to be a part of your life.
John 3:16— “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
2. You may be separated from God because of your sin and not in a relationship with Him.
Romans 3:23—“ For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
3. God made a way for you to be in a relationship with Him and to forgive your sins.
Romans 6:23—“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
4. God desires a relationship with you. All you need to do to have a relationship with Him is to receive Him. John 1:12—”To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God .”
To receive Him—talk with Him and admit you have sinned in life and you want forgiveness.
You believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and you want to receive forgiveness in your life.
