Sunrise Community Center was established in 2018 and is on track to becoming the largest Islamic community center in Bakersfield, CA, with the aim of serving over 10,000 Musims in and around the area. Among the sprawling 10 acre property, plans to develop a full-time accredited Pre-K through 1st grade Islamic school are also underway. SCC is conveniently located within a short commute to major freeways and shopping centers.
