What is the community like?
We are vibrant progressive community located in the east bay of San Francisico. We host families from the silcon valley who enjoy the small town feel of a suburban lifestyle, complete with a main street, farmers market and parks all over the place. A safe place to raise a family, to take a walk, to ride your bikes, to hang with your friends and neighbors. Our church is a caring community that works together, prays together and worships our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We like each other! And we love the Lord our God!

What if I'm not a Christian?
Welcome! Come and explore and learn about the love of Jesus Christ! Why not...it may be time to open yourself up to a new adventure in life that is truly fullfilling and life giving. We can be made new in Christ Jesus.
