Programs: In 1929, San Francisco Philanthropist Lizzie Glide purchased the property at 330 Ellis and funded both Glide Memorial Church and the GLIDE Foundation. In 1963 Cecil Williams became the pastor of Glide Memorial Church and inspired political, economic and cultural changes at both the Glide Church and the GLIDE Foundation. Glide Memorial Church has more than 20 Congregational Life Groups supporting diverse individuals and has a Celebration service every Sunday at 9:00 and 11:00 am PST. Our world-famous Glide Ensemble’s faithful music inspires activist spirituality in our sanctuary, in the community, prisons, stadiums and on television. The music has bolstered our work with the Black Panthers and the United Farm Workers, been proclaimed alongside Gay Liberation and Marriage Equality, and sung out against Apartheid, domestic violence, economic and social injustice, poverty and hunger.
