History and Mission

Upon arriving at San Diego International airport in California, you are in the comfort of American city life. Just 16 miles south across the USA/Mexico border in the city of Tijuana, a ministry is serving the underprivileged communities of Baja California, Mexico. It shares with the congregation the Gospel of Jesus Christ, ministering to them liberation, love, peace and eternal life. Along with spiritual cultivation and pastoral care, we provide financial and tangible assistance to the community. We focus on serving orphans living with life threatening illness, adults living with AIDS, people in recovery from substance abuse, and the elderly living in shelters. Love of one's country is a splendid thing, but why should love, stop at our border?

If you ever wonder what I believe, why I believe, and how I believe, see this video of Bishop Yvette Flunder at Drew University, she has described my sentiments exactly, we, her church here in Tijuana, prescribe to the radically inclusive love of our Lord Jesus the Christ. City of Refuge UCC Oakland is our mother church and as Bishop describes the many outreach Ministries within her church, so do we, we minister more times outside of the church than we do from the pulpit. Rev. Tony Manriquez.

A special "THANK YOU" TO Adelle M. Banks for a wonderfully well written article on our beloved Bishop Yvette Flunder and the outreach ministry of City of Refuge Tijuana Church, a daughter church of City of Refuge UCC Oakland under the leadership of Bishop and the TFAM who support us always.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RNS) While strangers paint her as a one-issue woman, Bishop Yvette Flunder has been hailed by those who know her as a leader with a “radically inclusive” agenda of compassion, aimed at getting everyone -- gay, straight, black, white, immigrant and native -- at the table.
