Newscopy: "CHURCH OF THE WEEK--Open Bible Church, 2135 Market-st, was founded by a group of local Christian people in 1939. They remained unattached for a period of time and worshipped in a church on Laguna-st known as the San Francisco Gospel Center. On April 1, 1944, this group affiliated with the Open Bible Standard Churches, Inc., a nationally known organization with headquarters in Des Moines, Ia., and has been known as the Open Bible Church ever since. The beautiful new edifice at 2135 Market-st was dedicated in August, 1946 and Pastor J. J. Humphries was invited to accept the pastorate in July, 1950, with the church enjoying remarkable growth since that date and about to launch a large expansion program to double its facilities. Their Sunday morning worship service is broadcast from the sanctuary each week at 11 a. m." |
