Welcome to the First Congregational Church of San Francisco
(UCC & DOC)
We Moved!
We sold our beloved building on Polk Street. Though we sold our building, our congregation will continue to worship and serve in our dear city! We are celebrating our 176th birthday this summer and look forward to many more years of ministry in San Francisco.
While we are looking for our next home, thanks to the generosity of our friends at Old First Presbyterian Church, we will meet Sundays at 11am at the following address:
Old First Presbyterian Church
1751 Sacramento St.
(Corner of Van Ness & Sacramento)
San Francisco, Ca. 94109
Use the side entrance to the building on Sacramento Street just down the hill from Van Ness Avenue. An elevator is to the left of the street entrance door for accessibility to our worship space. Just look out for our sign on the sidewalk near the entrance and you'll be sure to find us.
A Little Bit About Us:
First Congregational Church of San Francisco (FCCSF) is an inclusive community of faith in the heart of the city–where Lower Nob Hill meets the Tenderloin and Little Saigon.
We believe that spirituality and faith are less about fear and control, and more about connection, compassion, hope and love.
We are an Open and Affirming congregation. What does that mean? It means that we believe in the sacred worth of every human being! We celebrate, affirm, empower, honor and welcome the glorious diversity of lived experience, gender identities, sexual orientations, cultures, abilities, ethnicities and ages of humanity! Everyone is welcome to participate in communion, leadership, membership and worship!
This is why our community life is integral to our life of faith: some call it radical hospitality, we just do our best to practice it.
We believe that being connected to community is essential to quality of life–people who know you for your whole self, and continue to care for you in times both good and bad. It may be that we can provide a place where you can have an impact on your life and the lives of others.
We are a member of two progressive denominations: United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Whoever you are, wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!
