The first one we attended was the Alta Vista Church of Christ located at Alta Vista, South San Francisco, CA., an autonomous Christian church dominated by Filipino members. It is very close to the Marriot Hotel@San Francisco Airport where we were billeted during our 1st few days there. This is where some popular Filipino ministers served like Bro. Conrado Montefalcon and Bro. Diego Romulo. Current minister is Bro. John, an American, but all elders and deacons are Filipino (1st 2 Photos).
The second church of Christ we attended was the First Christian Church of Oceanside (Disciples of Christ), an American congregation. It is located at 204 Freeman St, Oceanside, CA, just 10-minute drive from our host's house at Mainsail Road.Actually, a Filipino brother-in-Christ recommended the National City First Christian Church near San Diego, but we were told it's 30-minute away from where we were then. And our internet search revealed that FCCO (DOC) was closer.
Both were Church of Christ rooted from Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement known for slogans, Where the Bible speaks, we speak; In doctrine unity, in opinion liberty, in all things love, and No king but Christ, no creed but the Bible, no name but Christian. (JSF Blogs)
