Pastor Paul's messages are inspiring and there is always room for dialogue within the service.

We had three places to choose from for our wedding and Christ Church was by far the best place imaginable! Nilo and I never dreamed of having a church wedding. We have been together in a committed same sex relationship for 19 years. When the law prohibiting same sex marriage was toppled in June 2013, we knew immediately we wanted to marry in Sausalito as it was the site of one of our first dates back in 1995 and figured prominently in our lives since then. While looking for a venue, we stumbled on Campbell Hall using a Google search. I sent an e-mail to the address listed inquiring about the Hall and within minutes received a response from the rector, Father Chip Larrimore, saying that not only could we use the Hall, we could be married in Christ Church and he would be honored to perform the ceremony. I was floored. Nilo and I, both Catholics, stopped going to Church some years ago. We had no idea the Episcopal Church was so accepting and welcoming. We went to see this incredibly beautiful church last July (2013) and met Father Chip. We knew as soon as we walked in that we would marry there and booked the date for July 4, 2014. We also started attending this beautiful church built in 1882 and became members in January 2014. Neither Nilo nor I had ever experienced such a welcoming community in our lives. We live in South Hayward and drive 57 miles every Sunday to attend Mass there with our new "faith family". While some of the reviewers listed "cons" along with their "pros", I have no "cons" to mention. Everything was incredible. While parking is limited, we hired a shuttle service which was quite reasonable to bring our guests up to the church and take them back. Pure Luxury was the service and they did a wonderful job. It took all the stress out of parking for our guests and they all had a great time on the short ride up the hill. Our reception was held at the Spinnaker Restaurant in Sausalito. Guests parked at Spinnaker and were shuttled to and from the church from there. We used Campbell Hall for lunch for our wedding party and for a short cocktail hour immediately following the wedding before our reception began. The Garden, which is adjacent to the Campbell Hall and across the street from the Church, is so beautiful and the best of our wedding photos were taken there. The entire wedding was everything I dreamed it would be and more. I am attaching some photos of the church and our wedding day there. We videotaped the wedding (although the first 6 minutes were lost...UGH!); the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT0Z_5vJSMQ. Listen to Father Chip's sermon if you want to know how incredible he is as a person and as a priest. I know you will love this church as much as Nilo and I do. 100% recommended for your wedding and if you have never really been into going to church...check it out. You might be as surprised as Nilo and I were by what you find there! Feel free to contact me directly via email at thomasjohnbauer@gmail.com if you have any questions.

The next Sunday we attended the 8am service and realized that we had found our home. Its been over eight years now, things have changed as they always do but the love of God and the love of each other in the congregation and of Fr. Chip is always present. Its also a fun church! As many smiles and as much laughter as there is quiet prayer and reflection. Fr Chip's sermons are core to our worship. They are of great interest and so often leave you will a very simple message, one that is subtle in the context of the message or story but also one that is easy to take away and to keep for days and maybe longer. If you live in Sausalito or are new in town, come along, I think you will be surprised at how easy it is to sit quietly and to enjoy worship and the gentle fellowship of others. The church's motto is "all are welcome" We truly felt and still feel so very welcomed.

Although I'm not a religious man, it's hard to deny St. Hilary's simple yet celestial charm. You can't help but feel at peace here. Located on a sunny Tiburon hilltop, the "little white church" (as it's commonly referred to) boasts magnificent, panoramic bay views. It's no wonder that it's such a popular place to get married. Adjacent to the chapel is a large communal room for receptions/parties. It's by no means fancy, but it's multifunctional and can accommodate a few hundred people and very caterer-friendly. Since I'm not a regular church-goer, I can't speak to their Sunday services and other religious ceremonies. But St. Hilary's is a Marin County landmark and the property is worth a visit. It'll certainly help lift your spirits (especially in these dark, chaotic times).

My first visit there no one greeted me warmly. And the pastor pridemore was not yet the pastor but…read moremade his presence felt. Ethan introduced to him i was met with an unfriendly and cold greeting. My impression was that he was aiming to succeed the current pastor (which happened soon) and treated anyone, visitors or member as a potential threat to his objective to take over the church leadership. Bad start. I left my handbag there and I went back to pick it up. When a woman member handed to me I could tell it was opened and searched. I had prescription pain medicine to deal with horrible nerve spasms that occur in my vertebrae more and then. She let me know that she found it and became instantly judgmental and critical as if I was some addict. I was deeply offended by the hostility she display and vile criticism she hurled at me -- a decent Christian with seminary training and wide experience in the church on many levels. Afterwards, i never heard from them again and needless to say, I never had an desire to return to this place, especially with Pridemore who lived up to his surname in personality. Very unfortunate. I suggest Martin Covenant or New Life for a genuine loving church true to Jesus.

Because of this community, I've genuinely thought about moving closer to the Presidio/Marina area just to be more involved. What makes Canvas so special starts with the people. From day one, it was incredibly easy to make friends. Everyone is warm, open, and intentional about connection. It's also one of the most genuinely inclusive spaces I've experienced--people are welcomed without judgment, regardless of ethnicity, sexual orientation, or life decisions. It never feels political or controversial--just a place where you can show up as you are. The leadership really sets the tone. Jena brings so much warmth, creativity, and a deep love for people into everything she does. Travis is incredibly down-to-earth (tattoo sleeve included), passionate about helping creatives discover faith in an authentic way, and has a perspective that really stands out--he believes church shouldn't be a place that tells people what to think, but a space that helps people think. Together, they've built something that feels both meaningful and approachable. The sermons are thoughtful and actually applicable to everyday life--covering topics like patience, healing, loving others, generosity, building intentional community, and mental health, including anxiety. If you're curious, you can check out past messages here: [https://canvas-sf.com/media/topic](https://canvas-sf.com/media/topic) What also stands out is how committed Canvas is to the broader community. They regularly serve San Francisco in tangible ways--feeding the unhoused, organizing clothing drives for children in the foster care system, and even doing neighborhood clean-ups. There are also so many ways to get involved through growth groups--whether that's Bible study, running, hiking, or even movie groups. It makes forming real friendships feel easy and natural. Canvas isn't just a church--it's a community you actually want to be part of.
