Comunidad San Dimas in San Francisco is a ministry of tough love. We seek out gangbangers, addicts & dealers and invite them into community by offering them true identity and freedom in Christ. For many of our neighbors, being stuck between two worlds is a harsh reality. We take to heart God’s call to love the prisoner, the immigrant, & the alien, making them welcome.

The San Dimas team spends a lot of time in juvenile hall, in Casa San Dimas (our transitional house), & just hanging out over food. We provide support for the dedicated CSD community based volunteers & we network between many different churches & faith groups (including the San Francisco Organizing Project). We jump on leadership potential and involve former gang members and crack dealers in Bible studies, English lessons, homework tutoring, and job-hunting. We’re also passionate about ecumenism (inter-denominational ministry) and overcoming differences within the community in order to strengthen the Body of Christ.
