I-580 from San Francisco or the north:

Exit at Grand Ave./Lakeshore, move to the right-hand lane and proceed through the light to the next traffic signal. Turn right onto Lakeshore Avenue and follow around the shore of Lake Merritt approximately 0.8 miles.

To 1330 Lakeshore Ave: after crossing the traffic signal at E. 18th Street and then one at Foothill Blvd (just past the tennis courts on your left), veer to the right, following the Lakeshore Avenue sign. The church will be on your left about 2/3 down the block.

To 1255 First Ave: once on Lakeshore Ave., travel in the left lane. After crossing the traffic signal at E. 18th Street and then one at Foothill Blvd (just past the tennis courts on your left), you will now be in the middle lane. As the street splits, veer to the left, following the sign to E. 15th Street. At the next traffic signal, which comes up immediately, turn right onto First Avenue and continue one block through the traffic signal at E. 14th Street. Just past this signal, turn right into our parking lot, located just before the high-rise apartment building. First Avenue is only two blocks long. If you miss the parking lot, continue to the right, making a sharp right turn (before the stop sign) onto Lakeshore Avenue. The church will be on your right, just past the high-rise apartment building.
