Glide Memorial Church is a nondenominational church in San Francisco, California, formerly a United Methodist Church congregation,[1] which opened in 1930.[2] Since the 1960s, it has served as a counter-culture rallying point, as one of the most prominently liberal churches in the United States. Located in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood, an area affected by drug addiction and homelessness, Glide is known for its social service programs, as well as the Glide Ensemble,[3] its Gospel choir. The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.[4][5]
