AFFILIATIONS

We are grateful for the brothers, sisters and friends who, both individually and corporately, sustain and encourage us in our walk of faith as we work together toward God’s Kingdom:

OUR KINGDOM PARTNERSHIPS

Shalom Missions Communities (SMC)

Sojourners is part of the Shalom Mission Communities network, a group of intentional Christian communities that walk with one another and encourage one another. Other church communities who are part of SMC are Reba Place Fellowship, Jubilee Partners, and Hope Fellowship. Every year representatives from each community meet together, and every three years we have a “camp meeting” in which our wider congregations gather to learn from and enjoy each other. We also have a sister community relationship with the village of Valle Nuevo in El Salvador. Every three to five years, we invite leaders from the other communities and a local pastor to visit us and give us feedback. The visiting group interviews each one of our members and then gives a report to the entire congregation on strengths and areas of concern. SMC has proved to be an important network of encouragement and accountability for us.

Mennonite Church USA

We’re glad to be one of two Mennonite churches in San Francisco. We resonate deeply with the Mennonite church’s emphasis on taking Jesus at his word, discipleship, peacemaking, and community. The statement of faith to which we subscribe can be found here.

Other Affiliations

Other important connections for us are our friends at the Ekklesia Project, and the New Monasticism. Locally, we have deep connections with two Presbyterian churches, Grace Fellowship Community Church and Redeemer Community Church

As much as we respect Sojourner’s Magazine (Jim Wallis) we are not affiliated with them.
