San Francisco Church?

A Diverse San Francisco Church?

Glad Tidings Church is a San Francisco Church. We have been here for almost 100 years!  We are not going anywhere.

Glad Tidings Church is a multicultural San Francisco Church. Asian, Latin, Black, White … it doesn’t matter. If you’re tired of churches where the music never changes and the people all look alike?  Check us out – the difference? GT’s like San Francisco, full of variety.  And  it’s not superficial.  It’s something we work at, fight for, and struggle with.

Glad Tidings Church is a San Francisco Church where we also have people from a variety of educational backgrounds.  People with Phds and those without a high school diploma sit side by side.  This isn’t easy. Sometimes this demands tolerance and patience, but we’re working through it with God’s help.  No matter what your IQ or educational achievements you are welcome here.

Glad Tidings Church is a diverse church in worship expression. No matter what your religious tradition at this San Francisco Church, you won’t be out of order whether you are someone who:

  • likes to sing loudly or doeesn’t like to sing at all,
  • wants to say, “amen!’ when someone says something you like  or prefers to write it down
  • stands up and sing or sits down and ponders it

Glad Tidings Church is an accepting group of people. We will welcome you just as you are – no matter what your background or if you want — we’ll let you remain anonymous.

One last thing.  We are NOT a perfect church.  We are NOT perfect people.  But we are more patient than most when people and accepting of each other’s process and weakness.  How do we do that?  It’s all about JESUS. Glad Tidings Church is a church that loves JESUS, and HE is the common bond we share.  He is the One we sing about, applaud, pray to, & want to follow. We reject mindless conformity and emphasis on rules and regulations, and so did JESUS.  JESUS is “the” major component of all of our messages and music and activities. He is the strength and motivation for our choices to be San Franciscan, genuinely multicultural, diverse socio-economically, and accepting.
