God’s Glory. Your Family.
Welcome to Gloria Dei! Our congregation is located about half an hour south of San Francisco. Our congregation is a welcoming family for people of all ages and in every stage of life. Our mission to proclaim the forgiving love of Jesus, who set us free from sin by his death and resurrection in our place. If you're new to the area or an established resident looking for a church home, we offer ours to you. Here you will find a warm, friendly environment where you will never be lost in the crowd. We are committed to maintaining the purity of God's Word to share his amazing love with all people. You can find a brief summary of what we believe and teach here: What We Believe.
Our mission statement drives everything that we do:
As a family of believers, Gloria Dei proclaims God’s glory, the good news of sins forgiven in Jesus. We teach the entirety of God’s truth as revealed in the Bible to strengthen the faith of our members, to train those who wish to know more about their Savior, and to proclaim Christ-crucified to all the world.
“Gloria Dei” is a Latin phrase that means “God’s Glory.” We pray that here you will not only find his glory, but a welcoming church family to call your own as well!
