About South Bay Interfaith

Growing out of 3 decades of Interfaith Dialogues in the South Bay Area, a group of faith leaders joined together to bring the joy of community-wide celebration to the public. South Bay Interfaith involves clergy and lay leaders from many religions, interfaith organizations, and faith-related educational institutions. SBIF events are designed to be apolitical and non proselytizing comfortable for anyone to enjoy - with the expressed purpose of bridging the gaps of understanding between people of faith. SBIF is dedicated to the proposition that people of good will can and do get along well together by engendering respect and a channel for the people to become involved with their community.
