Our Numbers

In 2023, we had two part-time paid pastors and 9 volunteer pastors. We serve approximately 70 care communities each month in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our numbers are still fluctuating, because some communities close their doors to services when they COVID flares up in their environment.
