Have you ever heard of a pastor who called soccer games for the MLS and football for the 49ers? Right here at Primera Iglesia Bautista Del Sur, that’s exactly who leads the congregation. Pastor Tony López, originally from El Salvador, brings his vibrant energy to this heart of the Mission District. Primera Iglesia Bautista Del Sur isn’t just a building at 976 South Van Ness Avenue. It’s a thriving community, a beacon of faith nestled between 20th and 21st streets. The church, a Southern Baptist congregation, pulsates with life, offering services in both Spanish and English. Sundays are a whirlwind of activity with services at 9 AM, 11 AM, and 6 PM, with an English service tucked in at 11:20 AM. And if your midweek needs a spiritual boost, they gather again on Wednesdays at 7 PM. Pastor López’s journey is a testament to the church’s welcoming spirit. He found his faith here at Primera Iglesia Bautista Del Sur in 1987, served in various roles, and eventually returned as the full-time pastor in 2005. He’s not alone in his dedication. A team of deacons, including leaders like José Mejía, and preachers like David Payés and Manuel Chicas, support the church’s mission. They strive to share their belief in Christ not just within the church walls but also throughout the community and the world. So, next time you’re strolling through the Mission, take a moment to appreciate Primera Iglesia Bautista Del Sur. It’s more than a church; it’s a testament to the power of faith and community, led by a pastor whose voice has resonated far beyond the pulpit.
