Swedenborgian Church of San Francisco

About this church

The Swedenborgian Church of San Francisco worships at 11 a.m. Sunday at 2107 Lyon Street and streams through its website and YouTube. The traditional Christian service lasts about an hour, followed by coffee and fellowship in the Parish House. Child care and Sunday school are offered during most services. From September through May, classes for ages four through fifteen normally meet on first and third Sundays after children join the opening portion of worship; care is available for younger children.

This National Historic Landmark opened for worship in 1895 and was shaped by architects and artists including Bernard Maybeck in an Arts and Crafts complex of church, garden, and parish buildings. Free docent-led tours are offered from 1 to 2 p.m. Sunday. The congregation worships Jesus Christ and reads the Bible through the theological work of Emanuel Swedenborg, encouraging reasoned questions, respect for different traditions, inner spiritual growth, and practical service to others. Sunday school similarly welcomes children's questions rather than demanding unexamined answers. A first visit can combine the 11 a.m. service, Parish House hospitality, and the afternoon architectural tour for an unusually complete introduction to both the faith community and its historic setting.
