Responsibilities
Participate in the regular weekly ministry rhythms of the Outer Circle and San Francisco InnerCHANGE communities.
Requirements
Must be highly flexible and willing to learn. All Outer Circle team members are expected to be able to live in community with other team members.
Description
The vision of the Outer Circle is to invite the lonely, the outcast, and the wanderer into restoration of their entire being by drawing them to Christ, bringing them into community, giving them what we have, and by being their friends.
For the past 12 years the Outer Circle has ministered among the traveling street youth of the Haight Ashbury neighborhood in a variety of ways including street outreach, hospitality, discipleship, and traveling. We continue to pursue these youth in whatever ways we feel like God is calling us.
The doorbell rings and I cringe.
It is this fear of the unknown. Invading my life. Interrupting my time. Stealing pieces of my day. I do not know who is there. But whoever they are they want something. They came to me. A shower. A chat. A cup of cold water…
Yesterday the doorbell rang a lot of times.
First it was Ninga - one hour and one day early for easter egg painting. It was in the middle of Tuesday morning prayer and it was raining. Poor Grace had to tell him to come back tomorrow. She felt bad, but it was the right thing. We were meeting.

Responsibilities
The Outer Circle serves pancakes in Golden Gate Park every week. Going on 5 years, it has grown into an important gathering spot for homeless traveling youth to connect with our crew and with each other. Here is a glimpse into what it's like!
A story of transformation from the streets of San Francisco.
We first earned Dave’s* trust because of a simple, yet radical step of obedience.
For over five years our team has been serving pancakes in Golden Gate Park as a way to both meet a tangible need and more importantly to serve as a community gathering place where we can connect with the homeless and traveling youth that come through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco.
