Konko-Kyo Church of San Francisco, San Francisco

Konko-Kyo is a relatively new religion that is attracting a lot of adherents these days, especially in the United States. This religion originated in Japan a mere 150 years ago but it has taken firm root in many Japanese communities, both, at home and across the world. The Konko-Kyo faith has its origins in Japanese Shintoism but it is considered by its followers to be an entirely different religion. The Konko-Kyo Church of San Francisco which was founded in 1930 is fast becoming very important to the Japanese community in the city.

The Konko-Kyo Church of San Francisco opens its doors to people from all faiths because one of the beliefs of this religion is that it is important to respect other religions and the paths taken by people towards spiritual fulfilment. There are many more admirable tenets that this faith has. One of the most important ones is that the believers have to live their faith in service to one another and to the entire world. As a result, this Church has always been at the forefront of community activity. This has been easily observed when Japan or any other country has been hit by tragedies and the people needed succour. The Konko-Kyo Church of San Francisco has always been very visible in its service to humanity.

Service is held every Sunday morning but the Church is open every day from 8 am until 6 pm. People can visit the church during these times for worship or have a talk with the Minister.
