Where We Come From
Legacy Church began as a bible study in the apartment of Pete and SueJae Bertolero in 1979. The group outgrew their little apartment as people's lives were changed by the love and message of Jesus. In 1981 the bible study officially became a church called The Fresno Christian Growth Center with Pastor Pete and Suejae as its founding Pastors. The church continued to grow and would move many times over the years to make room for that growth. In 2006 the name was changed to The Legacy Christian Church to better reflect the work God was doing in his people. That same year the church made the transition from being nomadic (moving from building to building), to being mobile and meeting at Ahwahnee Middle School in Fresno. Pastor Pete and SueJae Retired in 2017 and passed the leadership of Legacy to Pastor Andy and Sondra White. On Easter Sunday, April 1st, 2018 Legacy held its last service as a mobile church and moved into the current location at Shaw and Villa in Clovis.

Can I talk to a pastor?
If you have any other questions or simply want to talk to a pastor, we’re on the other end of this line and are eager to chat with you.
What’s the culture like at Legacy?
We believe that church is not a place or a program but people. Legacy people are regular folks who are genuine, friendly, and personable. Our gatherings are casual and relaxed so come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.
How long is a Legacy Church gathering?
In total, a Legacy Church gathering is about 75 minutes in length. Gatherings begin with music about God, how we feel about Him, and how He feels about us. Song lyrics are projected onto large screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the worship portion of the gathering, there will be a couple of announcements, then one of our leaders will come out to share an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus.
What about my kids?
We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week - and at Legacy Kids, we make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Legacy Kids program the first time that you visit. You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get your kids signed in before the 10:30 service. Legacy Kids is only offered at the 10:30 gatherings for children ages 6 months to 6th grade. We also believe it's important for kids to participate with their parents in worship, so Legacy Kids starts right after the worship portion of our gathering ends. After you check your children in you can expect them to stay with you through worship. Don't worry about them making noise or being kids. It's totally ok with us, we're used to it. All God's adult kids will be singing and making noise too so it's really no big deal.
