Chinese Independent Baptist

The Chinese Independent Baptist Church (CIBCSF) in San Francisco, established in 1905, is on a mission to 'Know Christ and to Make Him Known,' beginning in Chinatown. As one of the first Chinese churches built by indigenous Christians in the U.S., it emphasizes self-governing and community-driven values. CIBCSF provides multiple worship services in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, uniting diverse congregants through its bilingual and bicultural programs. The church actively addresses community needs through various ministries and the recently established Benevolent Fund, which assists members facing hardships. By engaging with local challenges, the church aims to enhance health, well-being, and social support within its neighborhood.
