The immigration station on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay opened on January 21, 1910 to process immigrants arriving from Asia.

Learn more here.

Celebrate Asian American Heritage Month with us as we learn about the history of Asian immigration to the United States and think about what it means to be a church that loves immigrants. Space is limited to 30 participants.

9:00am. Meet at Golden Gate Ferry (SF Ferry Building Gate B)

10:00am. One mile hike to Angel Island Immigration Station

11:00am. Guided tour of Angel Island Immigration Station
