In the Heart of the San Francisco Mission District- a Piece of German History

St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, directly across from the Mission Dolores, is a tangible reminder of both the city’s ethnic evolution and its little-known German past. Today, St. Matthew’s is the only Lutheran church in Northern California offering weekly bilingual services in German and English.

Join us every Sunday at 11 am for Bilingual Worship and Christian Fellowship.
