San Francisco Campus
- The San Francisco Campus (SFC) of Gateway Seminary is located in Fremont, California, in the diverse and growing Bay Area, south of San Francisco and Oakland. It upholds Gateway’s rich tradition of theological training in Northern California, where the Seminary was originally founded in 1944.
- This campus, established in 2016, is designed to continue serving students by allowing them to gain theological training and serve in ministry simultaneously.
- The land the SFC sits on was donated by a local church called Discovery Church International (historically known as Mission Way Baptist Church).
