Building History
This church was built on land purchased at very low cost from the congregation member, Bernard R. Maybeck (1862-1957) and his family. After several years of planning and fund-raising, the congregation made the move in 1960 to this new facility by Wurster, Bernardi and Emmons (WBE).
Building Notes
Artist Nancy Genn (born 1929 in San Francisco, CA) created the church's lectern, and ceramic artist Antonio Prieto (1912-1967) designed the screen.
