Worship

Hillsong San Francisco is a local church connected to a global network of Hillsong churches around the world. The aim is to serve the city by being the hands, the feet, and the voice of Jesus. Hillsong's global leadership and experience helps bring a tested heart of worship to prepare team members to love and serve others.

San Francisco City Impact exists to intervene on behalf of the people in the inner city of San Francisco. We mobilize people to intervene through our 11 daily departments. In everything we do, we invite others back into our family to live as one body, on mission, experiencing God. Our call is to worship Jesus and cry out to God with the sounds and voices on behalf of the Tenderloin (inner city of San Francisco).

Roger Huang

San Francisco City Impact

Leaving behind his abusive home in Taiwan, Roger discovered both the American Dream and his French bride, Maite.

One early morning in 1984 after getting off the graveyard shift, Roger Huang was waiting for a tow truck in the Tenderloin. He saw a young boy being beat up by a group of bullies. Torn between intervening to help the boy and not wanting to get involved, he drove away with a heavy heart. On the way home God laid the burden on his heart, “What if that was your son being picked on?” The next morning Roger and Maite made 50 sandwiches, and went back to the Tenderloin to give them away to the homeless. He began to return again and again to the Tenderloin and San Francisco City Impact was born.

Since founding City Impact, Roger has led many in discovering the power of prayer, fasting, and serving hands-on in a community starved for hope.
