Ecumenical House at San Francisco State University provides a progressive, Christian opportunity to work with youth of the community and a safe place to explore one’s faith. The Presbyterian/Methodist/Episcopal/UCC Campus Ministry at SF State has been bringing the good news of loving and affirming Christian faith to university students for years, feeding their bodies and their souls from our house across the street of the main entrance to campus.

We now are beginning a new chapter of service working alongside Larkin Street Youth Services providing housing services for un-housed youth.  Our building will house youth who identify as LGBTQ in Larkin Street’s Castro Youth Housing Initiative.

Ec House will move our work into the chapel and café space adjacent to the house. We will continue our café food program and our successful small group ministry which has continued during the pandemic. While we will will not be working directly with Larkin Street, this is a great opportunity for the church to serve two groups of young adults in one location.
