Cindi Fong

Cindi is the Lead Pastor of Redeemer. Cindi was sent from Grace Fellowship with her husband Danny and 33 other adults and 14 children to plant Redeemer Community Church in 2002. At that time, she was serving as the youth pastor of Grace Fellowship and overseeing their children's ministry. Over the years Cindi has served in many different capacities at Redeemer.  She led out in forming our children's ministry, and when our children grew to be youth, our youth ministry.  She also worked with Danny in the first few years to form our liturgy and worship. She led different outreach to our neighborhood, including involvement with our local middle school and a summer camp and game night for children from our neighborhoods and schools.  She currently oversees our small groups and adult church school. She is an ordained minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and regularly preaches at Redeemer.

Cindi grew up in an Episcopal Church in Colorado, which developed in her a deep appreciation for liturgy.  She came to know Jesus more personally through a Presbyterian church youth group and Young Life in high school where she began to enter more fully into the reality of Jesus as Lord. She experienced the gift of ministry through InterVarsity at Stanford, where she began to sense a call to full-time ministry.  Her time at Grace Fellowship showed her the immense treasure of the Church, what it could look like to be the Church in San Francisco, and how one cannot be Christian without being a member of a local church.

Cindi is married to Danny and they have three children, Brendan, Patti, and Aidan. She enjoys engaging with her kids and seeing God at work in their communities through a Spanish Bible Study, coaching cross country, and being a marching band parent.  She has lived in San Francisco since 1994, grateful for many years to learn to love our city and see the Lord's work in the beauty and messiness of our city.

Danny Fong

Danny is the founding pastor of Redeemer Community Church. In 2002 he was called and sent to start a new church by Grace Fellowship Community Church, where he served as an elder and a missional leader reaching out to underserved youth in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Prior to founding Redeemer, Danny was a co-founder of Dayspring Partners, and continues to serve on its board of directors. Dayspring was founded to be a partner to the local church, to train and employ neighborhood youth and to inspire them to pursue higher education and perhaps to explore a career in technology.

Danny came to faith in Jesus Christ through InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned his degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He served as a campus minister with IVCF at Stanford University, and is an ordained minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Danny is married to Cindi, and they have three children: Brendan, Patti, and Aidan. They have lived in San Francisco since 1994. Danny is still learning to exegete and to love the city. He serves as an advisory board member for SFexegesis.com.
