Evan Prosser is pastor of the Homeless Church, with a huge team of helpers--many of whom started out on the streets themselves. John Cass is our bookkeeper. Idus Jones is a dynamic preacher and ready to do whatever is needed. Mike Ford keeps the home running in a thousand ways. Melodie is appropriately named--she is a super-talented song writer and singer, still living on the street. Other musicians include Vic Garcia, Gesner Nazaire, Staci Lewis, Paul Hess, Richard Edwinson, Julius Riamo, Serge Bess. This is just scraping the surface, because this is a church where everyone is using God's gifts and abilities to make it all grow.

The Homeless Church was born when Evan Prosser was pastor of a church in Orland, California. God stopped him as he was driving home, and told him to resign the church in Orland and go to San Francisco to start a church of homeless people. He gave four points: 1) Not an outreach, but homeless people's church, 2) Comprised of a number of "pocket bodies" where people are already living on the street, 3) trans-denominationally supported and staffed, and 4) There is a warehouse. We moved here into an old school bus in 1994 and began meeting the people in a huge camp at Mission Rock. The fact that we lived on the street also was a great benefit. Soon after, Phyllis Edwinson, a lady we met at City View Church, let us use a house she owned for homeless people moving off the streets--she later gave us the house. In the years we have been here God has faithfully performed all he has promised, people have been saved, baptized and moved into a new life in Christ. Golden Gate City Assembly of God allowed us to use their church as a pre-warehouse day center for homeless people in the Tenderloin area--it was a great blessing that only stopped when the Covid-19 pandemic closed churches. Some of the people from the Tenderloin service moved outside to Sixth Street, where we have two outside services. We can't wait to see what God does in the next 25 years.

1. The Scriptures are inspired. both Ol;d and New Testaments, and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and practice.
2. The one true God has revealed Himself as eternally self-existent, creator of Heaven and Earth. and Redeemer of mankind.
3. God is One God in Three Persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
4. The Lord Jesus is the eternal Son of God, born of a virgin, having a sinless live during which he showed many miracles, dying as a substitue for us and bearing our sin, resurrecting bodily. and being exalted to the right hand of the Father.
4. Man was created good but fell by voluntary disobedience to God. Thiis act brought physical death and deparation from God on all mankind.
5. Man's only hope of salvation is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
6. The two ordinances of the Church given by Jesus Christ are baptism in water and holy communion (the Lord's supper).
7. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to all believers and brings power for life and service.
8. Speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
9. By identifying with Christ's sacrifice the believer can live a life set apart to God, called sanctification.
10. The Church is the Body of Christ, made up of Christ and believers, and its purpose is to make disciples and to demonstrate Christ's character to others.
11. A divinely called and ordained ministry is provided by the Lord for evanglization, worship, building a body, and meeting human need.
12. Divine healing is a part of the Gospel.
13, Our Blessed Hope is that those who have fallen asleep in Christ together with those who are then alive will be translated to be with Christ.
14. After the rapture, Christ will rule on Earth for 1,000 years.
15. After the 1.000 years, the final judgment will judge the wicked dead, and all who are not in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.
16. We look for a new Heavens and new Earth, wherein righteousness dwells.
