We are a Presbyterian Church in the Reformed Tradition.
We are a proudly liberal/progressive church seeking to live out God’s grace and justice.
We are a small, yet vitally engaged congregation, actively concerned for each other, the Noe Valley neighborhood, and the world.
We are followers of the way of Jesus; peace and justice are our passions.
We are a thinking congregation; we welcome hard questions.
We embrace a wide range of spiritual practices such as bible study, yoga and walking our beautiful inlaid hardwood labyrinth.
We love the arts! Music of various styles in worship and performance. Visual art in our renown Gallery Sanchez.
We are very friendly and welcoming…and we have lots of fun!
What to Expect If You Visit on Sunday Morning
Our worship service starts at 10:30am and lasts about an hour.
Fairly traditional Presbyterian liturgy with hymn singing and congregational participation.
Our talented music director and choir lead us in a wide range of musical styles: classical, jazz, gospel (but not a praise band).
We take the Bible seriously, but not literally, with an emphasis on contemporary relevance.
Child friendly: children’s sermon, Sunday school during worship, childcare provided.
Good conversation and refreshments after worship.
No dress code! Wear whatever is comfortable (although our pastor wears a robe!).
Communion is on the first Sunday of the month and is all-inclusive.
Values
Cultural and spiritual diversity. Wherever you are on your journey of faith you are welcome. We open our doors to people of all faiths.
We practice inclusivity in our membership, our leadership, and our language. Our language for God’s people incorporates male and female. Our language for God is intentionally genderless and non-hierarchical.
We are a worshiping community that provides a safe place for sharing interests, nurturing one another in our individual and spiritual challenges, working for social justice, and appreciating the arts.
We are a healing place for those who have been hurt or abandoned.
