First United Lutheran Church, Lutheran church building in North of the Panhandle, San Francisco, United States

First United Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation that has met at St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church, 2097 Turk Street, in the North of the Panhandle since summer 2012. It has no building of its own: the congregation sold its Geary Boulevard sanctuary in 2007 to the Ta Kioh Buddhist Temple and became a "church without walls."

The church was founded in 1886 as a memorial church and became the first Lutheran congregation in California to hold services in English. This beginning marked a turning point for how Lutheranism developed on the West Coast.

First United's worship keeps traditional Lutheran mass elements while varying musical settings with the church seasons. Its own liturgy, the Mass of a United People, was written by congregation musicians and first used in Advent 2000, mixing spoken word, flute, organ, drums, guitar and piano, from a cappella plainchant to folk and soft jazz/rock.

The congregation currently uses a shared building, so it helps to confirm the exact location before visiting. The site is near a major university campus and accessible by public transportation.

Since 2007 the congregation has operated as a 'church without walls', sharing its space with another faith community rather than maintaining a separate building. This arrangement shows how different religious groups can pool resources and share space.
