About
The church that birthed SFMO began after the 1906 earthquake when missionaries from the Church of God training house in Oakland came across the bay on ferries to help the people living in Golden Gate Park who had been displaced by the earthquake. What began as a movement of compassion over 100 years ago continues today at our new headquarters location at 160 Sixth Street in the heart of the city.
Pastor Mike and Ann Moberg began hosting groups of short-term missionaries in their home and at their church facility in 2000. With the increased numbers of missionaries came the need for a bigger facility and more help and God sent someone in the person of Heather Phillips. While serving as a summer intern God’s pull on her heart made it very clear that she was to serve in the inner-city of San Francisco. Heather came back each summer while in college and now after graduation has joined the SFMO team.
SFMO brings groups from all over the U.S. throughout the city to volunteer with various organizations. We want them to experience a variety of ways that they can volunteer to a diverse group of people. We want them to think “outside the box” as to how they can help someone. Our hope is that they will return to their own communities and volunteer to make a difference.
