Glad Tidings Church

I moved to San Francisco three years ago from the Midwest for college and have been attending Glad Tidings Church for over two years now and the people here have become like family to me. GT is a welcoming and encouraging place to come seek the Lord where you can build lasting friendships, and get connected through singing in the choir, dance ministry, college/young adult groups, mission’s trips, and other outreach groups that are available.

Glad Tidings Church is awesome! I've been going to GT ever since i was a little kid. They've guided me and helped me through some tough problems I've had all these years of knowing them..I've traveled with them to different countries for mission trips. GT has made me the young man of God I am today, without them I don't know where I'd be today. I've made very good friends at GT, friends that will sit down and listen to whatever you would have to say. GT has an amazing group staff. GT loves to make new friends and greet new visitors. So look up our web page www.gtsf.org or just come and visit, you wouldn't regret one minute of it! more

I came to San Francisco seven years ago and was looking for a church that really not only make me feel at home but will teach my the way of the Lord Jesus correctly and change would happen in my life. I went to other churches in the bay area that were good but I found what I needed in Glad Tidings Church. Friendly people, solid teaching and good friends. more

This place is incredible - the worship experience, the inspiring and thoughtful message, the warm and engaging people. I can't wait to go back. more

I was introduced to Glad Tidings Church through Teen Challenge. I was at Teen Challenge and my life was out of control. There was something different about Glad Tidings and the people there. They were so nice to me, and I thought there was something wrong with that place. Then there was something special about it. I felt the Holy Spirit start to work in my life. The pastors at GT really care about you and make it their business to make you feel cared for and comfortable. No matter what color you are, Glad Tidings Church is a place where you can be yourself and let Jesus do the rest. more

Glad Tidings Church is a place where I feel at home, where I am loved and accepted. It is a place where I belong. Glad Tidings has shaped and molded me into the man of God that I am today. Glad Tidings has shown me that it is not about how you look or the way you dress, whether you are poor or rich, or educated or uneducated -- its about loving God and making His love know. I look forward to more that God has for me here at Glad Tidings Church. more

As an intern here at GT. My life has changed dramatically. I have been attending Glad Tidings for almost 7 years. I came in as a college student attending a local art school and am here as a woman going after God in whole new ways, as well as pursuing my credentials to be a licensed minister. I knew that there had to be more to life than fashion design and artist communities. My invitation to stay at GT started with one of the pastors remembering my name. I was surprised that the staff thought I was someone to be remembered. I came from a Christian background going up in the church-but pastors were unattainable,distant, kind of like the Wizard of Oz. GT is the opposite of that. Everyone on staff in genuine, approachable and its clear they are responding to the call on their lives. They love San Francisco. I came to know more of this truth when I began to work along side of them. I went from being in a place of waiting for everyone else to tell me who I was, to being open to hearing the voice of the LORD. I have made so may lasting friendships at GT over the past years. I have changed so much as a person. It’s not that I became someone else, but being here has allowed me to flourish into who I have been created to be. It’s been an awesome experience, and it’s just the beginning. more

I started attending Glad Tidings about 5 years ago, and I’ve been an intern for almost a year. I began my journey with a strict desire to hold God and church at arm’s length. If I say that’s changed, it’s the understatement of the century. I have found so much freedom in God and continue to find more as I learn to listen to His voice. I think I’m just like anyone else: I doubt and debate, but I love and cling to Him. At the end of the day, I decide to trust Him, because He is in control. This is what I’m learning at Glad Tidings. I hope you find the treasured freedom God has for you. more

I love love love this church. Being across the country from my family, I have found brand new connections here at GT. I have found the kind of friends that support me through everything that life throws at me. I have been able to get connected in so many ways, in the dance ministry, the college/ young adult group, I have even been part of a fashion show for one of our women's events. This place is just different when you walk in. Since I have been attending the last 5 years my life has completely changed. I have found new priorities and a new purpose for my life. more

I have been at GT for the last 3 years and I LOVE IT! I have moved around a lot in my life and have always been looking for the best place to go and fit in. I think I’ve finally found that place in San Francisco, and the anchor has been Glad Tidings. It is a very diverse place that accepts people for who they are! The whole premise of church being somewhere you go to get yelled at, and a place where the rules are more important than people has been completely overturned with GT. The church is all about loving Jesus and making His love known – since that is the goal, it allows people to just be themselves. I have grown as a person and definitely in my faith-walk here at the church. I started attending Retrofit, now called nVision and I made the best friends I've ever had. Attending this church is unlike any other church I’ve ever been to, they WANT to talk to you and WANT to hang out with you. GT is a great place to make friends and learn about God. more
