Good Conservative Baptist Church in San Francisco

[Squire Robertsson]

I went to 9Marks and found two churches in San Francisco. One is in the Western Addition on McAllister between Divisadero and Brodrick. The other is in the Sunset District on Taraval at the corner of 14th Avenue.
9Marks mislocates both on its map. As San Francisco is a city of over 750,000, it's not unreasonable for me to have heard of neither church.

Then he can go to 9marks.org and find a Calvinist church.

I am not fundamentalist

Which of the Fundamentals do you deny?

1. The Inerrancy of Scripture
2. Substitutionary Atonement
3. The Virgin birth
4. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ
5. The imminent personal return of Jesus Christ

neither is Martin

I think Martin can speak for himself.

That's not the type of fundamentalist I speak of.

My wife and I are taking a vacation next month, driving around California and Arizona.
The only place I know for sure we'll be on a Lord's Day in San Francisco so obviously we'd like to find a good church there to visit.

My first choice would be a Reformed Baptist church, but it seems that there isn't one. So does anyone know of a good non-charismatic church there where the Gospel is preached faithfully?

I know you are asking about San Francisco, but if you also happen to be in AZ on a Sunday feel free to PM for suggestions.

What other type of Christian fundamentalist is there? Are there a list of different fundamentals?

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry not to have been about for a few days and been the cause of an argument. I've been at the Gideon UK Annual Conference and my laptop ceased to function.
Thanks for all the suggestions! They are gratefully received.

And I've lived in San Francisco and Northern San Mateo County for 63. And I've run into folks from back East who have no idea as to distances and drive times. So, my question. Add to that, Martin may or may not be driving. (I wouldn't as we drive on the right and he's used to driving on the left.) So, I assume he's taking public transportation.

My other question what in HSBC's Beliefs section does not make them a good candidate for a Sunday morning visit.

I drive on the left, but have no problem driving on the right when we visit France, which we do often.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

And I didn't either when I visited Osaka years ago. But, think metropolitan\urban traffic patterns. Which are not exactly sedate. US Highway 101 which runs south of the City, has a 65 mph\104 Kmph speed limit. I want Martin and his wife to relax enough to spend a goodly amount in the local economy. Remember San Francisco's unofficial mottos:

• San Francisco - A Tourist Trap since 1848
• San Francisco - We mine the miners.

I drive on the left but have no problem driving on the right when we visit France, which we do often.

In a PM, Martin informed me he plans on being in SFO on May 21. Looked it up on my calendar, turns out that the Bay to Breakers Race is happening that day. All the more reason to stay north of Howard and Hayes.

B2B is a cross-town race that starts on the San Francisco Bay waterfront and ends at the Pacific Ocean beach. It messes up north\south travel on the surface streets all morning.

Martin may also visit the website 9 Marks and do a church search for churches in San Francisco. I found 6 although none are Baptist, they are all Calvinist.

This pastor, now in San Francisco, was mentored by John Yates of Falls Church, who serves with with Mark Dever and Albert Mohler on the council of Reformed fraternity The Gospel Coalition:

Get to Know the Rev. Kristen Yates | Churches for the Sake of Others: C4SO

Sermon and bio from The Falls Church website:

3/20/2010 The Rev. Kristen Yates, Deacon, speaks to The Falls Church from Hebrews 4:1-13

The Falls Church is pleased to welcome Kristen Yates as its seminarian in residence for the 09/10 academic school year.....Currently, Kristen is finishing up her Masters of Divinity from Regent College in Vancouver, Canada

 

[Squire Robertsson]

Followed the link below and came up with a question. Martin asked for a good conservative Baptist church. Why are you recommending an Anglican one? Why is Reformed trumping Baptist?

In the visiting other churches thread, Marprelate shared:

I take each church on its own merits. Does it believe and preach the Gospel? If so, the people there are my brothers in Christ.

and

There is a fine Anglican church a few miles away where I visit from time to time

 

[Squire Robertsson]

I missed that post. I read post 30 as emphasizing the Reformed aspect. Further, the senior pastor is female. Also, locally Episcopal churches tend to be of the liberal persuasion. I haven't any experience with the breakawayAnglicans.

Gospel Coalition council member John Yates, who mentored Rev. Kristen Yates, explains:

www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/who-are-these-anglicans-in-tgc

Many have been surprised to hear of a body of Anglican believers working with the likes of Don Carson, Tim Keller, and Albert Mohler. In fact, during The Gospel Coalition 2015 National Conference, April 13 to 15 in Orlando, a number of Anglican leaders are offering seminars and workshops

While the Episcopal Church in the United States has gradually self-destructed over the last 40 years, a decidedly Reformed and evangelical movement has matured and found expression

Many evangelicals might not know that in 2009 the Anglican Church in North America was established, and there are already a thousand or more congregations with a vigorous church planting flavor.

My spiritual DNA's dealings with the Church of England ended in the 17th Century.

I had a splendid time at Hamilton Square Baptist Church yesterday and was very pleased to make the acquaintance of Squire Robertsson and his good lady.
There was a fine sermon on the Christian's joy in the Lord, taken from Philippians 1. Most encouraging! I recommend the church to any visitor to S.F.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

Thanks for the review. We're sorry you wife was feeling under the weather.

As for, the rest of y'all, visit a mission field and come to San Francisco.
