First Chinese Southern Baptist Church began as a storefront mission in Chinatown in 1950 when the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board saw the need for preaching the Gospel to the increasing number of Chinese living in San Francisco. In 1952, they purchased the church building on the corner of Hyde and Clay Streets. The mission moved into the building and held its first service just before Christmas of that year. In October 1955, the mission was officially organized into a church.
Today, First Chinese Southern Baptist Church FCSBC is a multigenerational, multicultural church. While we are made up of two congregations, the English speaking and the Chinese speaking, we are united under our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek earnestly to live to glorify God and bring Him praise. Together we maintain a faithful ministry of worship, witness, education, fellowship and service.
