About Us

We would love to have you join us as this remarkable story unfolds. Our church has been serving the Lord and the people of San Jose since 1892, but our latest adventure just began. A few years ago we came to believe that the Lord was calling us to sell our aging building and use the proceeds to help people in need, sponsor many new churches, and increase our effectiveness in Willow Glen and the city of San Jose.

With multiple cultures and ethnicities and all generations represented, our sense of joy and  community can be remarkably rich.  Our worship is contemporary, but simple.  Our teaching is Biblical, relevant, encouraging, and fun.  Together we are enjoying a level of friendship and connection hard to produce in larger groups. We believe that God is at work in us and through us, and we will warmly receive you when you come.
