On the first Sunday of October in 1967, Frank Williams and a group of twenty-five spiritual seekers gathered for the first time. They met in a small, old house, sat on donated chairs, sang from donated hymnals and as the service began, a church to serve all was born.

St. Francis was created out of the need for a spiritual home for those of diverse backgrounds. A home for spiritual rebels, the unchurched, and those outcasts for who they love or what they believe. Frank Williams, our founding pastor, inspired that first congregation to grow and create the church on the hill for all people.
