About Our Campus

With meager beginnings in 1928, brave men and women of God overcame relentless spiritual attacks and built Visalia First on prayer and the presence of God.

Our world is changing at lightning speed, but there is one thing that has not changed: the power of the Gospel and a Spirit-filled church. In every adult service for the past 27 years, someone has accepted Jesus as their Savior and committed their life to Him. With multiple ministries and services happening throughout the week, lives are consistently being changed for the Kingdom!

Students of Catalyst Bible College have the incredible opportunity to work alongside strong ministry leaders at Visalia First as they develop leadership skills, a strong network of peers, and a deep knowledge of the Bible.

Location

Located strategically in the Central Valley of California, Visalia First is under an hour away from the Sequoia National Park, three hours away from Los Angeles, and two hours to the nearest beach.

Our campus is in the perfect location to have hands-on ministry experience across our partner churches.

Student Scholarships

Visalia First and Catalyst Bible College are committed to produce credentialed, high-functioning ministers for the Assemblies of God with little to no debt. This is why we are offering more than $100,000 worth of scholarships for students to apply for each year.
