Dwell Christian Church has been doing ministry in San Jose since 1898 in various neighborhoods and under various names. Originally a Swedish Baptist Church in the heart of downtown San Jose, we moved to our present location in the 1940's as Willow Glen Baptist Church. In 2013 after several years of partnership with a church plant in downtown San Jose we merged to become Dwell Christian Church. Our name is derived from John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." At the heart of the Christian faith is Jesus Christ coming from heaven, sent by the Father in the power of the Spirit to bring life and truth to a broken world. Many are grasping for something beyond this life, but the Christian faith is not that we have found something, but that we have been found by someone. We are broken people transformed by grace who aim to make followers of Jesus by word and deed as God's Spirit dwells in us by faith. (Rom. 8:9-11) We dwell intentionally in our neighborhoods, in Him, for Him, and for the city of San Jose.
