Al Tizon

Lead Pastor

I don’t quite know how to answer the question, “Where are you from?” because my family and I have lived in many different places, as close as Berkeley and as far away as Manila, Philippines, with stops in cities such as Seattle, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

My wife Janice and I have been married…a long time. Our four grown children and seven grandchildren bring us a lot of joy!

I earned a BA in Religious Studies and an MA in Church Leadership Studies both from Vanguard University of Southern California (Costa Mesa, CA) and a Ph.D. in Missiology from the Graduate Theological Union (Berkeley, CA). I write, teach, preach on my passions, which include the church’s call to peace, justice, reconciliation, and evangelism. If you want to know the books and some of the articles I’ve written, please visit my website www.draltizon.com. It’s my hope that all that thinking and writing serves the church in some way, as she serves the world in Christ’s name.

It’s good to be on the journey with the folks at Grace Fellowship in San Francisco!

Linda Kay

Children's Ministry Director

I was born and raised in San Francisco. I came to know God in a personal way through my neighborhood church in Chinatown, called the Cumberland Presbyterian Chinese Church, which was my home church through my youth and college years.

Then when a group from that church felt led to form a diverse community of faith that sought to love our city and world, I joined the church-plant with Cumberland Presbyterian Church’s blessing.

I am married to my beloved husband Joe, and we raised two daughters whom we love dearly.

It has been my privilege to serve as an elder at Grace Fellowship for over 30 years and as director of Children’s Ministry for 24 years. It is my joy to accompany our families in welcoming our children to Jesus and teaching them to know and trust his love.

Jennifer Yee

Administrative Assistant

I am a San Francisco native. I experienced Jesus in a real way when I was in junior high school, sensing clearly at that time that I was a child of God. I have been a member of Grace Fellowship since the beginning. I married my dear husband, Paul in 1983, the same year that the church was formed. We have two adult daughters, whom we cherish deeply and are very proud of.

I was an accountant for 30 years in hospitality and taught middle school math and science for 5 years.

I am excited for the ways God continues to love and shape this church as we follow Jesus individually and collectively. I am glad to serve it as the church’s administrative assistant. Despite our imperfections, may Grace Fellowship be a place of joy and hope in this messy and complicated city.

Daniel Ng

Facilities Manager

I am one of the original members of Grace Fellowship. I met my wife, Jackie, here and we have two adult children. It has been a blessed journey learning to be the people of God together through four decades.

I recently retired from forty years of working at Underwriters Labs testing consumer products for the public's safety.

I love tinkering with broken products at home or at our church building and trying to repair them. There is a joy and satisfaction of seeing something that is “dead” become “alive” again.
