The Church in San Francisco

About this church

The Church in San Francisco gathers at 1201 19th Avenue in San Francisco. Lord's Day meetings take place on Sundays at 9:30 a.m., and a prayer meeting is held on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. Meetings are held in English and Mandarin, and smaller group meetings take place in several languages, including English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. The congregation describes "the church in San Francisco" as a description rather than a name, and it meets simply in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its statement of belief covers the Bible, the Trinity, the incarnation, the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, and His return.

The church began in 1952 with a group of Chinese Christian immigrants who met in homes, and it has since grown to include believers from many backgrounds. Small groups in homes around the city are described as the heart of church life, and visitors can contact the church to find a group near them. Outreach programs operate on four campuses: San Francisco State University, UCSF, City College of San Francisco, and Academy of Art University. The site also offers a free study Bible and Christian books by request. Confirm meeting times on the website before attending.
