Ingleside Presbyterian Church

Ingleside Presbyterian Church is a historically African American church in the Ingleside neighborhood of San Francisco. The church is a San Francisco landmark and is noted for the collection of pictures and paintings that cover the interior walls as murals named The Great Cloud of Witnesses.

History
The church was founded in 1907 and became predominantly white during the 1920s. Following the Second World War, the demographics of the congregation shifted, and its members were predominantly black. Roland Gordon became the church's pastor in 1978 when there were only four parishioners. He went on to rebuild the congregation and transformed it into one of the strongest African American churches in San Francisco. In late 2016, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors named Ingleside Presbyterian Church a historic landmark. ==Murals==
Murals
In an attempt to attract more young people to Ingleside Presbyterian Church, Roland Gordon sought to reach young African Americans through imagery. The church has a collection of paintings and pictures that depict predominantly African American subjects from history. Gordon refers to it as the Great Cloud of Witnesses. These pictures and painting cover the church's interior. == See also ==
