Who We Are
In the beginning, just twenty-five people gathered in a small house in the foothills. It was October of 1967 when Frank Williams, our founding pastor, brought together a group of spiritual rebels. They sat on old chairs, sang from donated hymnals, and shared a vision: a spiritual home where all means all.
St. Francis in the Foothills was born out of a deep need – a place for spiritual outcasts, the unchurched, and those judged for who they love or what they believe.
Inspired by that passion, Frank Williams led the first congregation to grow and create a church in the hills where all are welcome and safe. Since that October, St. Francis has flourished, but our mission remains steadfast: to serve all people with love, grace, and inclusion.
Our Mission
To cultivate spiritual growth, inclusivity, social justice, and belonging as a forward-thinking church.
Our Vision
A sacred community where inclusivity and social justice converge to ignite spiritual growth and effect positive change in the world.
