Iglesia Bautista De Riverdale at Riverdale, CA 93656. SBC affiliation confirmed via churches.sbc.net direct directory. Hispanic Spanish-language congregation in California Central Valley. Pastor name pending direct verification — Baptist Press references Alci Rengifo as 'pastor of Iglesia Bautista Central in Riverdale' (Alianza Hispana VP), but the SBC directory entry is 'Iglesia Bautista De Riverdale' so name match needs confirmation.
