As we approach the holidays, the San Francisco Initiative needs your help! To finish the year strong, they need $30,000 in one-time gifts. They also have additional needs for 2025. Your church can help by making a year-end gift to support this unique effort to reflect Christ’s love with grace and authenticity. With your help, they are meeting people where they are, on their terms and timeline, and equipping local believers to share their faith meaningfully in a city skeptical of institutional religion. This is a domestic missions project that not only helps San Francisco, but helps all of us learn to reflect Christ to people turned off by religion. Curious to learn more? Check out the podcast below or contact Katie.Dudgeon@efca.org or Mike.Edwards@efca.org with any questions.

Every gift helps further this critical outreach, and EFCA West is so thankful to those churches who have already contributed or started a partnership!

Gifts can be sent directly to the EFCA and designated to “San Francisco Initiative-#6856”:

Take the Pressure Off: Evangelism Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

Evangelism is at a crossroads. In the latest EFCA West podcast, Katie Dudgeon and Mike Edwards unpack the shifting landscape of faith in San Francisco—a city skeptical of institutional religion but full of spiritual curiosity. Drawing from their work in post-Christian Europe, they explore how believers can reflect Christ in authentic, meaningful ways and navigate the unique the complexity of evangelism in a post-Christian era. This episode challenges assumptions, sparks fresh ideas, and invites you to rethink what evangelism can look like today.
