About Bethany United Methodist Church
Bethany United Methodist Church, located at the corner of Sanchez and Clipper Streets in San Francisco's Noe Valley, is a progressive, reconciling congregation with roots tracing back to 1852 through its founding congregations, Grace Methodist Church and Epworth Methodist Church. The church is deeply committed to radical inclusivity, welcoming people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and economic statuses as part of its identity as a Reconciling United Methodist congregation. Bethany serves the community through numerous ministries including support for the San Francisco Interfaith Winter Shelter, participation in bagged lunch programs for homeless individuals, monthly labyrinth walks, and small group gatherings. The congregation gathers for worship each Sunday at 10:45 a.m. in person and online, featuring singing, open prayer time, a sermon, special music from the choir, and monthly communion. Visitors are invited to experience a casual, welcoming atmosphere where they can come as they are, followed by fellowship and conversation after the service.
