With approximately 10,000 Muslims living in Bakersfield today, our objective is to dedicate a place for those in our community to practice and share our faith, as well as prepare our children for the future.
We Believe in the Oneness of Allah – We have complete trust (tawakkul) in Him!
We Believe in People – We know that each one of us is far more powerful and contains more potential than any circumstances, situations, or conditions!
We Believe in Love & Care – We bring sincere love and care to every interaction. We delight and surprise each other and our students by anticipating wants and seeking to exceed expectations.
We Believe in Integrity – We live what we teach. We deliver what we promise!
We Believe in Fun – We create joy, laughter, and fun in all aspects of our work!
We Believe in Growth – We grow by achieving our goals and exceeding our best!
This facility will be the first of its kind. Sitting on almost 10 acres, Sunrise aims to create a new generation facility that provides all the resources a community needs, with the ability to generate passive income that will cover the overall expenses associated with running a private school.
Sunrise will provide families the religious, educational, and social resources they need to prepare our future generations for lifelong learning and service.
Our vision for Sunrise is not only to build a facility, but also to build a model for other communities to follow. Our motto is “Service of Faith & Community is what guides all we do”. Our center will be the hub for the Muslim community and our local community, providing a space for growth and cooperation to better our community.
Your feedback is important to us at Sunrise. We welcome all suggestions and ideas to better serve our community.
