Church / Organization Information

Ponderosa Basin Chapel

Ponderosa Basin Chapel is a Non-Denominational Christian Church which began in 1978. We emphasize the practical preaching and teaching of the Bible - our authority for life. The Bible says that faith without works is dead, so we encourage study of the Word to produce action and life-change. We uphold the inspiration and infallibility of Scripture. We encourage our people to be "people of the Book". We believe in right and wrong, moral absolutes, and absolute truth -- as revealed by God in His Word. Our goal is to build people's faith and love. Many have come to us suffering spiritual hurts and have found renewal and healing. Our goal is to build Christlike character and to nurture in each of us a servant's heart as we relate to others. We emphasize world missions. We encourage our members to get involved with global and local missions. The Chapel fellowship evidences a warmth, love, and unity that has stood the test of time. The music service blends together both hymns and praise songs that honor Christ. Our music ministry has an energetic, upbeat, and uplifting tone. Worship music takes place in a celebratory atmosphere. We endeavor to meet the needs of all age groups and provide appropriate ministries to each. PBC is located south of the town of Mariposa, CA. Mariposa is a small, friendly community with a rich history dating to the California Gold Rush. Unique to our county is an absence of stoplights and incorporated cities. Most residents are on a first name basis with the sheriff and many of the deputies. You will rarely go to town without seeing someone you know. We are less than an hour from Yosemite National Park, The “Crown Jewel” of the National Park system. The “Wild and Scenic” Merced river runs just a few miles from town and provides many recreational activities such as Whitewater Rafting, fishing, hiking and simply “going to the river.” The church sits on approximately two acres and we also own eight-acres across the street. This property features a beach volleyball court, picnic tables, and possibilities.
