We are easily accessible via the following public transportation lines:
We do not have a parking lot, and street parking in our neighborhood can be very difficult, especially on Sundays when the Mission Dolores church conducts services (right across the street from our congregation).
There is a paid parking lot one half block from the 16th Street BART station, on Hoff Street, a small street between Mission and Valencia, accessible from 16th or 17th Streets.
On Sunday mornings, the San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic (DPT) does not customarily ticket cars parked along the median on Dolores Street between 14th and 16th Streets. A note explaining that the vehicle's owner is attending religious services is available in the lobby (ask the greeter if you don't see the cards); we suggest you place one of these notes on your dashboard.
We cannot guarantee that you won't be ticketed while parked on the median, but DPT is generally accommodating on Sunday mornings when several neighborhood churches park there.
One of the best places to hail a cab on the street seems to be the intersection of 16th Street and Valencia Street, two blocks away from CSZ. You might also have luck on Market Street at Dolores Street. The chances of hailing a cab on 16th Street and Dolores Street are slim. Taxi pickup can be ordered by phone from:
